Nowhere, but I will be in Warsaw for a prolonged weekend in May. And probably I will be in Krakow and surroundings for two weeks in summer.

I went in Cracow and in the south 3 weeks in 1995. That was great.

I first went to Poland in the mid-90's with school. We visited Krakow, Zakopane, Wroclaw and Oswiecim. The cities were still pretty run-down back than, but I really admired the beauty of the cities. Almost no tourists back then... it had a very special feeling walking around.

In 2003 I visited Poland again: Jelenia Gora, Wroclaw, Krakow, Oswiecim, Zakopane, Warsaw and Poznan. I was amazed by the progress the country had made in less than 10 years. All the cities were beautifully restored and looked modern and vivid.

One city I haven't visited yet and is very high on my "to do"-list is Gdansk.

The international terminal at Warsaw's airport. First stop on my wat home from Stockholm, had to wsitch flights in Helsinki too. If not for some technical problem with the Finnair plane (at JFK) I'd've been home at least 5 hours earlier.

I have been on a tour from Szczecin to the northeast of Poland (Suwalki) in summer 2004. I enjoyed Gdansk and Warszawa very much. Particularly the old town of Gdansk impressend me a lot and the landscape east of Gdansk, which is very traditional and nice.

Ive been to Oswiecim, Krakow, Lodz, Zakopane, Warsaw, and Katowice. I stayed in Dobrowa Gornicza which is somewhere near Katowice. There's lots of apartment blocks but there wasnt much else there from what I saw. Katowice seemed very industrial to me. Im sure there's more to it, though

Warsaw and Lublin last month. Lublin is a beautiful city but just a little bit dissapointed with the capital city, it does not have a lot to offer. That is because the nazis destroyed completely the city (Stare misto it's been rebuild but still very small) and posteriorly the communist regime didn't help either (well, the palace of culture is fabulous) and lacks in my opinion of personality. That probably will change in the near future because there are lots of constructions going on.

Probably we'll visit Krakow, Katowice & Auschwitz next year and then Gdansk, Malbork and surroundings in 2/3 years

whatever...

Szczecin was one of the most destroyed cities in WWII in Europe. Thanks to God many of buildings were rebuilt so it's still very beautiful place

just look at this! Paris? ;)

I came back from Warsaw yesterday. And I should go there again for some shopping at the huge market around the stadium to buy some clothes, which are far cheaper than here. (I'm not speaking of brand clothes btw.)
Now I plan to take part in an event in Krakow incl. day trips to Auschwitz and Zakopane this Summer. It depends "only" on sufficient funds and the ok by my boss for my holiday plans.
During these few days I've learnt some polish words. My polish working colleagues even attested me a good pronunciation! Maybe I have good potential to learn polish? ;)

I ve been to Krakow. Very enjoyable, even if i did have a dodgy pigs knuckle dinner or whatever the hell it was one evening in a bar whilst drunk. By god those litre beers slip down so easily. Also was excellent for those day trips out via slightly unstable local train to Auschwitz, which was interesting, especially the bar opposite the train station. Must have been the only tourists visiting it. Think most people get a coach there or something. Also the salt mines near by are cool, get an unlicensed taxi there, worked out very cheap, about a fiver and the driver got there in record time whilst breaking numerous traffic regulations. Bonus.
