The vacation season in Poland is coming to an end. However, this does not have to mean the end of your travels!

Travelling through Poland in the off-season is an excellent idea. Especially as less crowding means more comfort. Already in September, the most popular routes and tourist attractions are less besieged.

When you decide to visit Poland in September, you also get a chance to see nature changing. Poland's Golden Autumn is something really worth seeing - and there are people who specifically travel to Poland in the autumn to see it.

Check out what Poland has to offer in the off-season. Book your train tickets up to 60 days in advance here: booking.polrail.com

Rail travel in Central Europe can be extremely enriching, due to the cultural and historical highlights and the variety of landscapes.

Europe is very well connected and thus worth seeing in its entirety! But there's no denying that it's difficult to see it all in one trip. So where should you start?

We would like to suggest an inspiring route for you - the cities of Central Europe: Budapest 🇭🇺 - Vienna 🇦🇹 - Bratislava 🇸🇰 - Krakow 🇵🇱!

You would start in Budapest, Hungary, where you can enjoy picturesque views of the Danube River and the Hungarian Parliament, one of the most beautiful parliament buildings in the world, sample delicious food and wine, and visit historic baths.

Moving on to Vienna, the Austrian capital, you can visit historic palaces such as the Belvedere and Schönbrunn, and savor musical culture at the highest level.

Continuing your journey, you'll arrive in Bratislava, Slovakia, where you can explore the charming Old Town, Bratislava Castle, and try the regional dish 'Bryndzové halušky' (potato dumplings topped with special sheep cheese).

Finally, your tour will continue to Krakow (traveling by day or overnight), where the fabulous Main Square with St. Mary's Church, Wawel Castle, and the picturesque Kazimierz district await you.
