Krakow
Discovering Poland & Berlin 12
Days
A Door to Door* Tour
from
£869
This enthralling tour presents the perfect blend of living history, quirky sites, sophisticated sightseeing and touching tributes. Intriguing Berlin was divided for decades until the fall of the infamous wall in 1989. As we move on to Poland, captivating Poznan exudes a unique spirit and its ancient Castle District is dominated by the neo-Romanesque Kaiser’s Palace. Amble round the Old Market Square and see the Renaissance Town Hall complete with a clock tower where metal goats delight the watching crowd when they pop out at noon and ram their heads! Warsaw is where tradition and modernity stand side by side yet you can still feel the heartbeat of times gone by as you stroll around the Old Town. This unforgettable tour includes an emotive visit to the former Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz as well as memorable days in medieval Krakow and beautiful Wroclaw.
