Chic medieval hot spots like Krak\u00f3w and\u00a0Gdansk\u00a0vie with energetic Warsaw\u00a0for your urban attention. Outside the cities, woods, rivers, lakes and hills beckon for some fresh-air fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

Castles to Log Cabins<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The former royal capital of Kakow Renaissance, Baroque and Art Nouveau, a record of tastes that evolved over centuries. Fabulous medieval castles and evocative ruins dot hilltops around the country, and the fantastic red-brick fortresses of the Teutonic Knights stand proudly in the north along the Vistula. Simple but finely crafted wooden churches hide amid the Carpathian hills, and the ample skills of the highlanders are on display at the many skansens (open-air ethnographic museums).<\/span><\/p>\n

A Thousand Years<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Poland\u2019s roots go back to the turn of the first millennium, leaving a thousand years of twists and turns and kings and castles to explore. WWII history buffs are well served. Tragically, Poland found itself in the middle of that epic fight, and monuments and museums dedicated to its battles \u2013 and to Poland\u2019s remarkable survival \u2013 can be seen everywhere. There\u2019s a growing appreciation, too, of the rich Jewish heritage. Beyond the deeply affecting Holocaust memorials, synagogues are being sensitively restored, and former Jewish centres such as \u0141\u00f3d\u017a and <\/span>Lublin\u00a0have heritage trails, so you can trace this history at your own pace.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Heart-Warming Food<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re partial to good home cooking, the way your grandmother used to make it, you\u2019ve come to the right place. Polish food is based largely on local ingredients like pork, cabbage, mushrooms, beetroot and onion, combined simply and honed to perfection. Regional specialties like duck, goose and trout keep things from getting dull. As for sweets, it\u2019s hard to imagine a more accommodating destination. Cream cakes, apple strudel, pancakes, fruit-filled dumplings and a special mania for\u00a0lody\u00a0(ice cream) may have you skipping the main course and jumping straight to the main event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hotel Copernicus<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hotel Copernicus stands on Kanonicza Street, Krakow\u2019s oldest street that winds its way toward Wawel Royal Castle \u2013 the historic seat of Polish kings. Amidst the neighbouring Renaissance townhouses Copernicus stands out with its expansive, Gothic fa\u00e7ade. As the first in Poland he joined the to Relais & Ch\u00e2teaux \u2013 the exclusive French hotel association.<\/p>\n

Several centuries ago the hotel building was the residence of cathedral canons. Nicolaus Copernicus, famous astronomer and \u201cfather\u201d of the heliocentric theory lodged here whenever he visited Krakow as a Canon of the Archbishopric of Warmia. Striving to measure up to the building\u2019s historic significance and the works of art preserved within it we have made it our ambition to provide the ultimate in hotel accommodation.<\/p>\n
