Thanks for your ranking. I thought Warsaw being the largest city would have been your #1 choice, however, I hear Krakow has a lot of charm with its acrhitecture and is a unique city. Thanks for this video!

[@TravellingWithCon]

I’m glad this video helped! I really like Poland - lots of great nice places to visit! Are you planning to visit soon? 🇵🇱

[@spark_6710]

Wroclaw is my no.1 pick !! I just love the scenics there ,the city where a river runs through !!! The architecture, very picturesque !! 😍And of course,Warsaw !! I haven't been to Poland,yet ,but it's been in my bucket list for decades !! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️poland 🇵🇱 💕💞

[@TravellingWithCon]

Yes you should definitely visit - Wroclaw and Warsaw are great cities! And have you thought about Krakow too? It is very touristy, but it’s a great city still! 🇵🇱

[@spark_6710]

@TravellingWithCon Yes,there are so~many cities in Poland I'd love love to visit !! I am hoping I can visit 'em all one day soon !!! Lol. Thank you so much for your replies !! 👍

[@Alexosthus]

Top 3 1.Wroclaw 2.Warszawa 3.Gdansk

[@TravellingWithCon]

I think Wroclaw is a very beautiful city indeed 🇵🇱

[@katarzynalpzm0arajko-nenow32]

1.Kraków 2. Wrocław 3. Lublin 4. Toruń 5. Gdańsk 6. Warszawa Those would be my favourite. I haven't been to Łódź and Szczecin yet, though. Warszawa is a bit too busy for me and I included Toruń - a mindblowing architecture.

[@TravellingWithCon]

Nice list! I haven’t been to Torun but it looks really pretty - would you recommend Torun? 🇵🇱

[@katarzynalpzm0arajko-nenow32]

@@TravellingWithCon oh yes. Toruń is a must! Not that big as the rest on the list. I'd say the medium size but amazing!!!

[@katarzynalpzm0arajko-nenow32]

@@TravellingWithCon I also higly recommend smaller towns. My top among those are 1. Zamość - amazing town listed on UNESCO list because of its stunning renessaince architecture. One day is enough to see around the old town but in late spring it's nice to sea also also the area - Roztocze with charming fields and National park - great to visit on one day bike tour in late spring, in full bloom. 2. Sanok - amazing little town with castle that hosts the exhibitiin of brilliant, gloomy Beksiński works, also open air museum - the best in Poland, worth visiting even if you're not so very into such atractions normally. Sanok is also the gate to nearby Bieszczady mountains - stunning "Polish Alaska" - my favourite mountains in the country with dark sky parks, tiny wooden churches from UNESCO list and rich wildlife - bisons, wolves, bears ,lynx... and amazing Solińskie lake. 3. Stary Sącz - cute, little town/village with great surrounding, especially Czorsztyńskie lake with castles at it's banks and great bike trail surrounding it and Pieniny mountains with spectacular Dunajec gorge. 4. Żywiec - beautifull old town, famous brevery, great Żywieckie lake and Beskid żywiecki mountains right next to the town, plus nice, annual rock/pop music festival "Męskie granie" and other great spots in near proximity like f. eg. Pszczyna with palace. 5. Bolesławiec - great, cozy old town, famous pottery manufacture and annual pottery festival. Just up to 40 km from the town lies also worth visiting German gem of Górlitz. 6. Frombork - charming red brick town, connected with Coppernicus, with nice planetarium. Lies on the banks of Vistula lagoon, not far from famous Malbork castle and picturesque, sandy vistula spit. 7. Lidzbark warmiński - another red brick town with stunning old town. Lidzbark hosts annual festival of cabarets. It is also quite close to beautiful lake district in north-eastern Poland and for example to Żywkowo "white stork village". Honorable mension to Olsztyn, Grudziądz, Kazimierz Dolny, Sandomierz, Reszel, Chełmno and Starogard Gdański. Oh boy, there is so many more but I choosed only from towns that I visited myself and that also have interesting things to do nearby. Since I'm from south Poland and I love hiking, I've visited mostly places on the south of Poland. Good luck and enjoy. 🙂

[@TravellingWithCon]

@@katarzynalpzm0arajko-nenow32 wow thank you so much for that list of places! That is so helpful, thank you for all of that! I’ve heard of a few of those places (such as Żywiec - because of the beer lol 😂, and also Zamosc - I was actually thinking about a day trip to visit there, but I didn’t have time ahah). But hopefully in the future I’ll have time to visit all them! What is your number one favourite place in Poland? 😄

🇵🇱 Poland is a great country to visit! Which city are you from? 😅

[@Rene_Moor3095]

Łódź will probably be a gem on the map of Poland in 10 years' time. Łódź is a city that has been through a lot and it was quite late that the right person was elected there by the inhabitants as the city's mayor. It is a city that started to develop later than other cities in Poland after the fall of communism, but it is developing beautifully now. If all the old tenement houses in Łódź are restored, it will be beautiful.

[@TravellingWithCon]

It’s a cool city! Hopefully the city can be renovated further and it can be a lively Polish hub! Are you from Łódź?

[@user-hu9zj7qz5y]

My list for the big cities would be: 1. Kraków 2. Tri-Cities (Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia) 3. Warsaw 4. Łódź 5. Wrocław 6. Katowice Have not been to Poznań and Lublin yet. Would love to visit those as well in the future. I also love lots of medium and smaller cities and towns in Poland.

[@TravellingWithCon]

That’s really interesting to hear your take! Also, I’m curious to know which smaller Polish towns and cities you recommend? I’ve only really stayed in the big ones ahah!

Watching your Lublin video now. The city looks gorgeous.

How about economics? Cost of living? Exchange rates for U.S. dollar? Hotel rates?

[@notcreativenickname2938]

Going to big cities for tourism is not the best idea. I live in Poland and travelled this country far and wide (mostly in business, but i was sightseeing a lot too.) I recommend visiting small tourist attractions in smaller cities/towns. Also don't eat in bars by main streets, they mostly serve expensive shitty food. And whatever you do don't eat in bars near sea or offbrand kebab bars.

[@TravellingWithCon]

Thanks for your comment! Which small towns in Poland do recommend? What are some of your favourites? I guess I’m a big city person, so therefore I normally gravitate towards bigger cities ahah. And yes, it’s always good to search online for traditional restaurants!

[@shaggydog9789]

Actually visiting the big cities is a great way to see a lot of things. I've visited Krakow, Gdansk, and Wroclaw, and had a fantastic time in all of them. There are plenty of museums, cathedrals, and historic buildings to see in the main cities and they are very easy to reach. Not everyone needs to go off the beaten track to have a great time visiting a country.

[@johannaleino5951]

@@TravellingWithCon I went to Poland a few years back with my kids and definately small towns were easier. For example Sandomierz was recommended as a mini Krakow and that it was.

[@TravellingWithCon]

@@johannaleino5951 ahh that’s interesting to know! I’ll keep Sandomierz in mind 🇵🇱

[@tomaszargentynczyk8635]

I would agree with ranking you created, maybe would take a little from Krakow. It really isn’t that much better than Wroclaw for instance. You can find more diversity in terms of things to do in Wroclaw/Warsaw comparing to Krakow. Please be cautious while talking about concentration camps. Term “polish concentration camp” may get on people’s nerves. These were never “polish” but just on polish territory. Poles were the ones who died there.

[@TravellingWithCon]

Thank you for your comment! And yes, thanks for letting me know about the distinction

[@markg1531]

Kraków is the royal capital of Poland while Wrocław is thoroughly polluted by German influences. There’s nothing there like the Wawel Royal Castle and the Wawel Cathedral where the last true Polish kings, the Piasts, are buried.

[@tomaszargentynczyk8635]

@@markg1531 Kraków is historically important, but as a city is quite cliche. People go there because of the former capital and royal history, but it just gets boring. Wrocław has beautiful architecture that is more diverse, many newer attractions like ZOO, Hydropolis, Kolejkowo, SkyTower viewing point etc. It has more diversity to offer and honestly, Wroclaw has better location on the islands than Kraków. Ignoring all the history, Kraków has no edge over Wrocław today. Kraków might have Wawel but Wrocław has Hala Stulecia which is another UNESCO world heritage site. Not to mention hundreds of castles and palaces around the city.

[@markg1531]

@@tomaszargentynczyk8635 If you like. I don’t agree in the slightest.

[@SandraHof]

Wrocław is nice. But every time I visited I liked it less and less. I found it boring after awhile. But after nearly 11 years in Kraków I never get bored here and never tire of its beautiful architecture. To each his own!

[@piotrwojdelko1150]

the best is Gdansk ,Warszawa, Lublin, Krakow .definitely not Wroclaw ..Wroclaw from my point of view is overestimated .This is an average city in Europe heavily destroyed during ww2 and not rebuilt property and with visible infilled building .Churches are too modest. Except for a few nice buildings nothing interesting is there . I would destroy a few new buildings ,change traffic ,open more to the river ..

[@TravellingWithCon]

I personally quite like the vibrancy in Wroclaw. But I guess there are some uglier buildings outside the “old town”. Still, Polish cities are great! 🇵🇱

[@spark_6710]

​@TravellingWithCon Wroclaw is my destination to visit besides Warsaw !!! Maybe a few more cities ,because Poland is gorgeous 😍

@@TravellingWithCon haha, Krakow is beautiful, but Gdansk have more space. I like big malls in Gdansk. Although, Krakow wins for food!

That’s interesting that you said that, because personally I found that there was less space in Gdansk old town, because the old town it’s so compact! But yes, Krakow is generally the more overcrowded with tourists ahah
