Head west to Wrocław, a city known for its picturesque squares, vibrant cultural scene, and charming canals. The Market Square (Rynek) is one of the largest in Europe, featuring Gothic and Baroque architecture. Don’t miss the Panorama of the Battle of Racławice, a monumental 360-degree painting, and the tranquil Ostrów Tumski, the oldest part of the city, renowned for its stunning cathedral and atmospheric streets.

Gdańsk, located on the Baltic coast, offers a unique blend of maritime history and architectural splendor. The city’s Main Town is a showcase of beautiful buildings, including the Gothic-style St. Mary’s Church, the largest brick church in the world, and the ornate Golden Gate.
