Poland is a country in the midst of a nationwide reinvention. Following the collapse of the Soviet empire in 1989 and the subsequent demise of Poland's Communist government, the country underwent significant reformations. Indeed, the forces of capitalism and old school protectionism continue to collide in Poland, making the country one of the most interesting social and economic experiments in all of Europe.

At the same time, Poland continues to grow and expand. The country has chosen to relinquish its past isolation and embrace its European heritage. Recently, the Polish currency, the zloty, was reformed to eliminate so-called extra zeros. (One new Polish zloty equals 10,000 old Polish zlotys.) In addition, Poland's recent inclusion into the European Union suggests that the country is opening up.

Poland is also now incredibly tourist friendly. Prices are reasonable, and the government has gone out of its way to attract tourism. Through Poland And Beyond, a premier Poland tourism agency, you can now find incredible vacation packages.
