Best Time to Visit Poland
Poland is a year-round destination, but the best time for escorted tours is from May to September, when the weather is mild, the cities are lively, and the countryside is in full bloom.
Spring & Early Summer (May – June)
Pleasant temperatures and blooming landscapes make this a lovely time to explore cities, gardens, and historic sites. Outdoor cafés open up, and cultural events begin to fill the calendar.
High Summer (July – August)
Warm and sunny, with long daylight hours perfect for sightseeing and scenic drives. It’s the peak travel season, with festivals, open-air concerts, and vibrant city life.
Early Autumn (September)
The air turns crisp, and the trees begin to change colour. It’s a quieter time to travel, ideal for photography, cultural visits, and enjoying Poland’s natural beauty without the summer crowds.
Food & Drink in Poland
Polish cuisine is hearty, comforting, and full of flavour, shaped by centuries of tradition and regional diversity. Meals often feature meats, root vegetables, and warming spices, with a strong emphasis on hospitality and seasonal ingredients.

Pierogi – Poland’s iconic dumplings, filled with savoury options like potato and cheese, or sweet fillings like berries. Boiled or fried, they’re a staple of every Polish table.
Bigos – A rich hunter’s stew made with sauerkraut, cabbage, and assorted meats, slow-cooked for deep flavour.
Żurek – A sour rye soup with sausage and egg, often served in a bread bowl. Earthy and satisfying, it’s a cold-weather favourite.
