North-South Poland Tour is our new group tour for people not only interested in their genealogy but also in the history and culture of Poland.

It is an 11-day journey through the heart of the country, showcasing its diverse landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture.

The tour begins in Warsaw, a city that beautifully blends modernity with historical significance. From there, you'll venture to Olsztynek to immerse yourself in Polish traditions at the ethnographic park. The journey continues north to Gdańsk, a city with a captivating maritime past, Solidarity movement, and emigration history. Next we go to Malbork, home to the the largest castle in the world impressive . You'll also explore the charming streets of Toruń, famous for Nicolaus Copernicus and its delicious gingerbread. The tour then heads south to Częstochowa, Poland's spiritual center, before culminating in the royal city of Kraków.

This tour — like all of our journeys — is about more than just sightseeing. It’s a chance to connect with the heart of Poland: learn history by seeing it, meet warm and welcoming locals, savor traditional regional cuisine, and experience the legendary Polish hospitality firsthand. Whether you're passionate about history and culture or simply eager to go beyond you family roots, this tour will give you rich insights and an unforgettable adventure.

The tour dates: September 6-17, 2025

As we are in the middle of summer there are plenty of the season fruits and vegetables. The mushroom season has started as well! All of the best Polish tastes you can find on local markets. There is one very special in Kraków, close to the Old Town. It is called Stary Kleparz ("Old Kleparz"). You can see more about it on our blog: http://blog.polishorigins.com/2013/07/10/old-kleparz-market-in-krakow/
