  • Days 1-3

    Warsaw

    Begin in Poland's capital city. The Old Town is best explored early at 8:30 AM when the streets are quiet and perfect for photos. Visit the Rising Museum before lunch to avoid crowds. Save your Old Town market walks for the afternoon. Wear sturdy shoes on the Royal Route since the historic cobblestones can be slick after rain.

    
  • Days 4-5

    Gdansk

    Take the 3.15-hour train ride north. Book seats on the right side to see the best countryside views. The Main Town gets busy so visit St. Mary's Church right at opening time, 8:30 AM. For Sopot, take the SKM train instead of driving. It runs every 15 minutes and takes 20 minutes. Pack an extra layer for the wooden pier since it's often windy, even on sunny days.

    
  • Days 6-7

    Wroclaw

    This "Venice of Poland" needs two full days to explore. Look for the city's famous dwarf statues scattered around town - there are over 300 to find. Get your best Market Square photos from St. Elizabeth's Church observation deck in late afternoon light. Want to visit the historic Piwnica Świdnicka beer cellar? Go early or make a reservation to avoid long waits.

    
  • Days 8-10

    Krakow

    Take a morning train (3 hours) to make the most of your time. For Auschwitz-Birkenau, book the earliest possible tour to avoid midday crowds and have a more meaningful experience. Planning to join an obwarzanki cooking class? Bring an apron since working with traditional dough gets messy.

    Visit medieval Torun in the morning to see Copernicus' birthplace. Stop by the gingerbread shops when they open at 9 AM. Drive to historic Poznan after (2.5 hours).

  • Days 5-7

    Krakow

    Spend three nights in Krakow. Visit Market Square before 8 AM when it's peaceful and quiet.
