What to do in .... - Part 1

These are some "mini travel guides", if you like. More parts are to follow. Hope you like the first part. Happy travels!

Poland

Try the local cuisine. The food quality is really high.

- Pirogi (crescent shaped dumplings filled with meat, potatos, cheese and / or vegetables) topped with fried onions and bacon. They can be also sweet.


- Fried breaded pork fillet with potatoes, similar to Wiener Schnitzel or Veal Milanese.


- The Polish love ice cream. There are ice cafes in every city. Its really delicious.


- Another favorite of the Polish are Doener Kebabs. Most outlets offer meal deals as well.


- Cakes, chocolate and wafer biscuits.

The coffee culture is very high in this country. One of the most beautiful coffee houses in my opinion is the Cafe Bristol at the Le Meridien Bristol in Warsaw. It's interior design looks as if hasn't changed for a century (of course it has been renovated). The cakes are really delicious, coffee is good too, and there are interesting mocktails.

One of the most famous Polish chocolate brands is Wedel. They even have their own stores and cafes.

Wafer biscuits are available in different flavors.
 

- Vodka. Famous brands are Belvedere, Wyborowka (rye), Chopin (potatos) and Zubrowka (bison grass)



Poland is steeped in history, be it in the golden age of the Polish Kingdom or more recently during World War II and the Communist period.

Every city looks different and has its own charm, so I would recommend visit the Old Towns and if you're interested in modern buildings the New Towns too.
