Location

Pierogies, pierogies, pierogies! Ok, there is WAYYYYYY more to Poland than pierogies such as museums, vodka, Catholicism, and history. But I do love pierogies! This country has always been on my list of must visit, due to my familial roots, but Poland also does a great job of documenting and displaying its history with numerous tours and hundreds of museums. There’s so much to do, see, and learn! But for real… don’t forget about the pierogies!

Use this guide to help plan and maximize your trip to Poland!
