In September, Zielona Góra becomes the capital of Polish wine thanks to the annual Winobranie Wine Fest 🍇

Winobranie it’s one of the oldest and largest wine festivals in Poland, attracting thousands of wine lovers and fun-seekers. During the wine festival week, which this time will last until September 15, Bacchus – the god of wine and the symbol of Zielona Góra – receives the keys to the city and thus takes over its rule. Under his leadership, Zielona Góra becomes a stage full of attractions such as concerts, outdoor festivities, sports competitions, and cultural events.

It’s a perfect reason to visit Lubuskie

Zamek Królewski w Warszawie, destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in the 1970s, symbolises Polish spirit and determination 💪

Although today it looks awe-inspiring, during the September Campaign, it was practically razed to the ground due to artillery and aerial bombardments. After the fall of the Warsaw Uprising, the remains of the building were blown up by the Germans, only to be spectacularly rebuilt later 🧱

Today, the Royal Castle blends history with modernity at the highest level and offers magnificent interiors and the possibility of hosting exclusive business events 🇵🇱

Travelling through Poland at the end of summer, one can notice strange, artistic, and creative constructions made of hay bales 🌾 This is a unique way of inviting people to the harvest festival celebrations 🥳 But what exactly is the harvest festival?

It’s Dożynki - the Harvest Festival – a folk celebration combined with thanksgiving rituals for the completion of the harvest and fieldwork 🎊

In pre-Christian times, it was an ethnic Slavic holiday, occurring around the autumn equinox (September 23). Today, it is usually celebrated on one of the Sundays or Saturdays in August or September after the harvest is over. Church ceremonies, picnics, and gatherings of local communities often accompany these celebrations.

Sometimes we organise trips ourselves 🏖️, and sometimes we participate in events organised by others 😎

That was the case this time – at the beginning of June, at the invitation of Global DMC Partners, we flew to the beautiful Magical Punta de Mita, Mexico, where we had the opportunity to exchange experiences with the most talented and best meeting-and-travel specialists for a week 🤩

These were days full of inspiring conversations, best practices, and networking with people from all over the world. It was also another opportunity to showcase Poland and its beauty on the international stage.🤍❤️

Global DMC Partners (GDP) brought together almost 200 from around the world in colourful Punta de Mita, Mexico on 6-9 June for its annual Connection event, and micebook was lucky enough to join the 25-strong UK group. As my first time attending GDP Connection, and my first time in Mexico...

We all know art museums, technology museums, and fashion museums. But did you know that the world’s first museum of… scents is being established in Miasto Kraków? 👃

Odotheka, as it is called, is a scientific project undertaken by the Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny w Krakowie, in collaboration with the Muzeum Narodowe w Krakowie, the Univerza v Ljubljani / University of Ljubljana, and the National Museum of Slovenia.

As the project creators explain:

It will not be a traditional museum – more a library of knowledge about scents, taking into account the full historical context, which includes the place of origin, conservation work, and exhibition conditions. The project will result in a collection of recipes and formulas for recreating the scent of a given artefact. We will learn what chemical compounds must be mixed to achieve a specific scent. The entire process will be documented and available for an overview. Ten objects with diverse histories, exceptional significance in collections, and varied materials from which they were made have been selected for the research.

The first work already examined from the National Museum in Krakow’s collection is Leonardo da Vinci’s Lady with an Ermine. Are you curious about how it smells?

17 czerwca 2024 r. w Muzeum Narodowym w Krakowie odbyła się konferencja prasowa, podczas której zaprezentowano wyniki badań polsko-słoweńskiego projektu naukowego realizowanego przez Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny w Krakowie, we współpracy z Muzeum Narodowym w Krakowie, oraz Uniwersytet w Lublanie ...

Mr. Kleks' Academy (or Mr. Inkblot's Academy) is a book and film of an absolutely iconic value for an entire generation 👶🧒👧

Polish children born in the 1980’s knew all the songs based on Jan Brzechwa's poems by heart 🎶 Today, the youngest can discover the unique world of Mr. Kleks in a completely new version available on Netflix 🤩

It is wildly popular there - the film was watched 3.7 million times in the first week after being made available on the platform in English, making it the third most-watched film in a non-English language worldwide 🤯

Have you seen it yet or is it still on your list?

Trainings and Industry Meetings do not necessarily have to take place in standard conference rooms 🤩 The Academy for Multidisciplinary Teams in Cystic Fibrosis Treatment, which we organised for VERTEX, was held in the beautiful interiors of the Polonia Palace Hotel in Warsaw 🏰

Masuria, known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes, is one of the most beautiful places in Poland, enchanting everyone who pays a visit here. It is an ideal place for a summer vacation 🏖️, combining contact with nature 🍃, physical activity 🚣‍♂️, and relaxation 🧘‍♀️

Masuria owes its name to the extraordinarily large number of lakes formed by melting glaciers. Each lake has its own unique charm and offers a variety of attractions - from sailing on Śniardwy – the largest lake in Poland, to peaceful kayaking on picturesque canals and smaller lakes.

⛵ For sailing enthusiasts, we recommend the Masurian Lake District Trail. This unique waterway route, about 150 km long, leads through the largest and most beautiful lakes of Masuria.

If we ask Poles about the most traditional Polish soup 🇵🇱, most will certainly answer that it is broth. However, it turns out that in the latest ranking prepared by TasteAtlas, the royal soup was dethroned by... żurek (sour cereal) soup! 🤯

We are also surprised by the low rating of the tomato soup, which we love so much 🍅, and the presence of lemon soup, which we have not tried yet. 🤷🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Foreigners, do you really prefer żurek soup to the golden broth? 👍👎Poles, what do you think about this combination? Let us know in the comments ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Every year, on the last Friday of May, European Neighbours' Day is celebrated in over 30 European countries 🥳 The first celebration of this holiday took place in 2000, and the European Federation of Local Solidarity (EFLS) initiated the idea itself. Interestingly, Neighbours' Day is the largest community event in Europe and is under the patronage of the European Commission 🤝 In 2008, the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue included this holiday in its celebrations.

Initially, Neighbours' Day was celebrated on a Tuesday, but in 2010, the celebrations were moved to Friday. And we think this option is much more conducive to all kinds of celebrations 😉

If the Netflix hit Bridgertons captivated you with its beautiful interiors and gardens, you should definitely visit Łazienki Królewskie / Royal Lazienki in Miasto Stołeczne Warszawa 🤩

This unique palace and garden complex in Warsaw was founded in the 18th century by Stanisław August Poniatowski, Poland’s last monarch. The area of ​​Łazienki Królewskie is approximately 76 ha, of which 4.9 ha are covered by water reservoirs. In total, there are approximately 40 buildings there, including 10 of very high historical and artistic value. There are 10 gates leading into the park, open to the public.

In addition to its beautiful architecture, Łazienki is also famous for its cyclical Koncerty Chopinowskie w Łazienkach Królewskich - one of the oldest musical events in the capital and its cultural showcase.
