Poland is one of the best budget-friendly countries in Europe. Its vibrant capital, Warsaw, is less visited than Krakow, but well worth a visit. Explore the colourful, Unesco-protected Old Town – best viewed from the lofty Palace of Culture and Science – try some delicious pierogi and visit quirky Plac Hipstera. The quaint bookstores and cafes of Praga are well worth a browse, and you can spend the day sunbathing like a local in Łazienki Park. For somewhere to stay, try these cheap hotels in Poland’s largest city, bookable on Culture Trip.
