Highlights: Go beyond the ordinary. Poland only recently emerged from beyond the Iron Curtain, joined the European Union and landed on the itinerary for travelers go want to escape the familiar and touristy sites of Western Europe. Here they're discovering old cities, castles, lakes and virgin forests. They explore and party in historic cities of Krakow, Wroclaw and Gdansk that offer hip restaurants and clubs, great live music and a thriving art scene set against the backdrop of cities that date back 600 years.
