This post will be more of a travel log than anything else. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when we arrived in Poland. Since Robert has family in Poland, I knew it wasn't going to be the typical tourist experience. We got to see parts of the country not many tourists would venture out and see. On top of that, I learned a great deal about the history of Poland. When you have a week to experience all things Polish you better travel with someone who knows their Polish. Although I was very surprised about the amount of people we spoke English in the country.
Warsaw:
Old town Warsaw
Capital city
Palace of Culture and Science
Warsaw Uprising
Sigismund's Column
Saxon Garden
Krakow:
*This was my favorite stop because of its Western European influence— it felt the most like a European city.
Main square - St. Mary's Church
Surrounded by greenery which used to be the mote.
Took a walking tour
Wawel Castle - Polish royalty
Kazimierz - Jewish quarters
Lublin
We spent most of our time in Lublin because Robert’s mom was born there, so it’s where a lot of her family currently lives. It's smaller than Krakow and Warsaw but has a very cute downtown area.
Majdanek concentration camp in Lublin
Old Town Lublin
Zamoyski Palace Museum
