Backpacking Countries You Must Visit - Poland
When backpacking the old country, you can’t miss Poland – one of the backpacking Countries you must visit. Poland is the most amazing countries in Central and Eastern Europe. It is a country of interesting history, amazing cultural treasures, old towns, many castles, beautiful mountain views and strings of sandy beaches.
Naturally, most backpackers land in Kraków, one of the most wonderful towns in Europe that could easily rival Prague, Budapest or Vienna in terms of charm, cultural offer and costs. Due to its growing popularity, the costs in Krakow have gone up significantly, however it is still less expensive than other European cities – a pint stands at US$ 2.5, when accommodation in a hostel amounts between PLN 40 and PLN 60 per night (US$ 14 and US$ 20). Another excellent Polish city is Wroclaw, the main city of Lower Silesia region, which usually sits on 12 islands of the Odra River connected by over 130 bridges.

The country’s character is as amazing as its cities – if you want to escape crowds head for Slowinski National Park filled with lakes, peat bogs and shifting sand dunes, or Bieszczady, the largely forgotten region of the country, covered with mountains and wild forests.
The easiest way to move around Poland is by rail. The train system covers the whole country and it really very affordable. However, the Polish trains are not fastest in the world, so keep additional time in reserve when traveling from one place to another.
