visit Warsaw. It is something different than sightseeing in Krakow. There's not many historical places, in fact there're only few original buildings.
All city is one big reconstruction. Warsaw was in 92% damaged during the war. City is full of ugly socrealistic buildings and huge flats. But what was built from ruins is really amazing. You should go there and see it! It's young, dynamic capital. Leave a Comment

Go to and be a part of the WINE FEST in Zielona Gora, in September, every year. While you're there, try to visit Lagow. You will want to climb up the tower of an old castle and enjoy the view.In the summer, a swim in the lake is a must.What a place!

Polish currency is called Zloty which means gold in Polish.
Official bank symbol: PLN
Polish abbrevation: zl
1 PLN = 100 grosz.
Coins: 1, 2, 5, 10, 50 grosz and 1, 2, 5 PLN.
Notes: 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 PLN.
Poland is going to enter European Community (EU) in 2004 and in a few years will admit Euro as a currency, I suppose.

The Great Mazurian Lakes region in northeast Poland is one of the most attractive and beautiful tourist areas in Poland.
One fifth of the whole surface area of the region is covered by lakes, which are inter-linked by rivers and canals to form an extensive, branching water route system.
These lakes are situated in widely varied countryside, and their banks are full of inlets and peninsulas, islands, and sometimes surrounded by forests.

It was the Austrian artist Robert Kalina, the in-house designer of the National Bank of Austria in Vienna, who made the winning designs for the euro banknote design contest.
The theme for the designs for the euro banknotes was "ages and styles of Europe", showing the architectural styles of seven periods from European cultural history. Leave a Comment
