Poland, 11 Days · Tailor-made by car
Explore these two neighbouring countries on a combined tour that sets out from the beautiful historical city of Krakow, stops off at picturesque towns in southern Poland and ends in the north of Slovakia. Two regions separated naturally by the spectacular Tatras mountains. Two regions majestically embraced by two national parks of high environmental value and picture-postcard landscapes. Rivers, gorges, lakes, hills, native flora and fauna, hiking trails and vantage points with unparalleled views. All from your base in the unique town of Zakopane, the highest in Poland, with its exclusive wooden houses and its revived folklore. Join us on this magical and very varied tour, dotted with fairytale castles, traditional architecture and historical remains, some of which have inspired films or been used as movie backdrops. Fantasy-laden places, where time seems to have stood still and which you can only visit by car. And don't forget your camera, although it'll be difficult for your memory to erase these scenarios, some for their immense beauty and others for their terrible past. Also savour the typical food of these mountainous lands, where soups and hearty meat dishes will make you appreciate this exceptional journey even more.

- Driving through Poland: 1. When driving in Poland, you must keep your vehicle's lights switched on throughout the entire day. And take care in the cities, where the tram is still a widely-used means of public transport and always has the right of way. 2. The state of the roads has vastly improved in recent years. 3. Drink driving in Poland is severely punished. The permitted blood alcohol limit is 0.2 mg/l. 4. If you plan to visit the Tatra National Park or other mountainous area in winter, make sure you have the right tyres on your car. 5. Border crossings between Poland and Slovakia are located in: Chochołów, Chyżne, Jurgów and Łysa Polana. 6. Speed limits: 6.1. Built-up areas 50 km/h (60 km/h after 11.00 pm). 6.2. Non-built-up areas 90 km/h. 6.3. Town/city centres 20 km/h. 6.4. Dual carriageway expressways 110 km/h. 6.5. Single carriageway expressways 100 km/h. 6.6 Dual carriageways with at least two lanes in each direction 100 km/h. 6.7. Motorways 130 km/h. 7. Drivers of motorhomes must register in the electronic toll system (Via Toll). 8. Parking in the centre of Krakow. The Old Town is closed off to traffic (except for taxis, police cars and ambulances, and delivery trucks at certain times of the day). There are very few underground car parks. The park-and-display area is marked with a P, with the compulsory payment hours shown underneath.
- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
