The Polish tourism industry has been thriving thanks to market reforms instituted following the fall of Communism. Bear in mind that the current Polish currency, the new zloty, is worth approximately 10,000 times more than the old paper zloties. This reform was instituted to cut back on the so-called "extra zeros" and improve commerce efficiency and exchanges.

Contrary to popular perception, Poland is an incredibly diverse place, geographically. While most of the country is covered in plains and forest, you can hike into the Carpathian and Sudety mountain ranges and trek up the highest peak in the country, Rysy, which reaches over 8,000 feet above sea level. Poland also borders the Baltic Sea, and you may wish to explore the marina in Gdansk, a marvel which has served as a major port of call for northern Europe for more than 10 centuries.

You may want to contact your Polish embassy for details as to what kind of documentation you need to enter Poland and travel freely. It's also smart to purchase your visa well in advance of your trip and to get your passport and other documentation in order sooner rather than later. That said, you can get an express visa within 24 hours if you're planning a last-minute trip.
