Fluffy pine trees, sea, sunny breeze, Teutonic castles - these are not just words, these are only a small part of the description of the beauty of Poland. Poland is rich not only in interesting beach resorts, but also in lakes and mountains, nature reserves and many interesting and beautiful cities, the description of which this article is aimed at.
Warsaw
The list of the most beautiful cities in Poland will be opened by its capital, Warsaw. During the Second World War, this city was almost destroyed, but later the historic center was rebuilt so precisely that it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Museums, palaces, churches, statues and much more await tourists visiting the capital of Poland.
Krakow
Krakow is the former capital of Poland. Unlike Warsaw, the city was not damaged during the Second World War and retained most of the buildings. Today, there are more than 3 million cultural sites in Krakow, some of which are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. In the center of the Old Town there is the largest medieval square in Europe - Rynek Główny, and the square itself is surrounded by various historical buildings. Also in Krakow there is the Czartoryski Museum, where you can admire the painting by Leonardo da Vinci - "Lady with an Ermine".
Torun
This city in the 21st century was already considered the cultural capital of Europe. And in 2016 he again claims this title. Torun hardly suffered from wars and is one of the few in which a medieval center has been preserved. The city was founded in the 13th century by German knights. The most beautiful places in Torun are located in the Old Town. And, despite the fact that the Old City is not large, it will take more than one day to walk through all the cultural heritage located here.
Katowice
Katowice is a relatively young city; according to official data, it appeared at the beginning of the 19th century. However, if you delve into history, then we can assume that it began to emerge back in the 14th century. At that time, settlements already existed in these areas, and in the 18th century the first coal mine appeared here. Today the city is still the center of the coal industry in Poland. But this is not what attracts tourists from all over the world here, the many attractions and beauty of the city are mesmerizing.
Poland is an amazing country with many beautiful cities that have not been given special attention in this article, for example, Zelenets, Karpacz, Tatras, Lublin, etc. But this does not mean that they are less beautiful, each of them has a rich history and values.
