Advantages: Location, friendly waitress
Disadvantages: Everything else

Food in Poland's popular tourist destinations outside of the cities is rather poor. The restauranteurs push to maximise profits in what is a short season. Despite the fact that Zakopane has tourists all year round, the situation is not much better. Having ... Read review

Advantages: Interesting open air museum, seems peaceful now
Disadvantages: Sad history, not too easy to find

Treblinka was a Nazi ran extermination camp in WW2, death trains would run from Umschlagplatz in the Jewish ghetto (today Muranow) directly into the camp. The majority of Warsaw's and North Eastern Poland's Jewish population were slaughtered there. 4,000 ... Read review

Lately we've been going for a family holiday to the north east of Poland in June the last couple of years. Providing you can tolerate lots of healthy looking old people with their Nordic walking sticks, then it's a very agreeable place. Sea air and walkin ... Read review

A seaside cafe where the fish doesn't taste of anything
by Praski

Advantages: Close to Bialowieza, the nearest big shops, nice churches
Disadvantages: A bit dead and a rather modern town

Any stay longer than a day in the Bialowieza area will probably have you looking at the map for the nearest town. About 20km west from Bialowieza, lies Hajnowka. Several churches, a swimming pool, a Biedronka (cheap supermarket) and a main square are just ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, on site restaurant, comfy rooms
Disadvantages: Not bang in the centre of the village

I usually end up in the dog house when choosing places to stay online, it seems that I always pay over the top for something rather basic. I have now learnt that a recipe for peace and quiet is to choose the place and let my wife book the accommodation. B ... Read review

Well done on walking it! Such a shame the weather was as it was - the views up there are stunning, you would honestly think that you were at much higher altitude. A great review on a fabulous subject - I applied for this category, thank you SO much for doing it justice here. R. by RICHADA

Good Bye Lenin! A great review and what sounds like a very good overnight stopping place. We love Zakopane, but don't stay there - fortunately, having our own transport, we are able to stay in slended isolation at the Redyk in Zab, always a treat that! R. by RICHADA
