Poland is an unusual country. It’s close, but at the same time it’s so far away. It’s a neighbour, but sometimes it’s like a stranger. Sightseeing tours to Poland will help you get acquainted with Polish culture, overcome political stereotypes and get into the strong spirit of this wonderful country.
The undeniable advantage of sightseeing tours to Poland is a well-developed transport connection. Every day, Warsaw airport receives 2-3 airliners from Moscow and Kaliningrad. In addition, you can get from Moscow to Warsaw by the Polonaise train, which departs every day from Moscow Belorussky railway station. Another quite popular way to get to Poland is by charter bus. By the way, sightseeing tours to Poland by bus are becoming more and more popular every year, and opinions that bus tours are a budget and not the most comfortable way to travel remain in the past.
