"The Old Town together with the Wawel Hill and the Kazimierz district are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Medieval urban layout of the Old Town has not changed for centuries. Every visitor to Cracow should see Europe’s largest Medieval market square with its Cloth Hall, the Church of the Holy Mary with its Gothic pentaptych altarpiece carved from limewood, Wawel Hill and its royal castle and the Wawel cathedral with its outstanding Renaissance chapel, the Medieval university building of Collegium Maius with its unique collection of astronomical instruments, the Barbican, and St Florian's Gate"

"Poznan - The Old Market Square is among the most interesting places to see in Poznan. The Renaissance town hall, old houses, charming side streets, numerous museums, monuments, cafes and people walking about - all of them create the unique atmosphere of the place. The Old Market Square is the heart of Poznan.
Marked out in 1253, when the city of Poznan was chartered, the market square has been the centre of community life for centuries. It was in the town hall that the city councils took decisions about local affairs. And it was in the market square that the most prominent citizens lived and trade deals were negotiated to bring economic prosperity to the city."

The Renaissance town hall - formerly the seat of municipal authorities. The building rebuilt in the mid-16th century by the Italian Giovanni Battista di Quadro of Lugano now houses the Historical Museum of the City of Poznan. Indoors, of particular beauty is the Great Hall known as the Renaissance Room, one of the finest Renaissance interiors in Poland – two sandstone pillars support a vault with coffers containing polychromic sculptures representing coats of arms, biblical and mythological scenes, exotic animals and planets. And on the town hall tower, every day at high noon two goats, the symbol of Poznan, clash heads. [Anna Plenzler; Historic monuments in Poznan; Poznan 2007]"

"Welcome to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, a city worth seeing, which will captivate you with its own, distinctive atmosphere. It is worth staying there for a few days.
Warsaw is a unique city, located in the center of Europe, at the junction of the trade roads from the West to the East and from the North to the South of the continent. You will be truly fascinated by the history and atmosphere of this magnificent city, which combines the influences of Western and Eastern Europe, and where tradition meets modernity. Warsaw will surely enchant you.
We invite you to get to know this city full of contrasts, where historical monuments and modern architecture coexist in every street. Historical palaces, buildings and architectural complexes, destroyed during World War II, were reconstructed with such faith that it is impossible to distinguish the originals from their authentic counterparts. The typically-urban construction is immerged in open spaces of green squares and municipal parks.
We encourage you to visit this European vibrant metropolis. You will bring back unforgettable memories from there. And to those who will decide to stay a bit longer in this city, Warsaw will surely give more than one chance."
