Sopot is located on the north coast of Poland by the Baltic Sea. It is one of the smallest and most beautiful of Polish towns surrounded by forests to the west and Gdansk to the east. During summer there are more visitors than locals coming from all parts of  Europe.

   Sopot's reputation as Polands premier sea-side resort is justly deserved, with its trendy bars, restaurants and shops, wonderful hotels and nightlife including a casino and is considered to be the best in the country.

   An ambitious plan to return Sopot to its halcyon days in currently underway with construction of a health spa resort. There is also a multi-million euro developement incorportating a yachting marina with the famous pier, the longest wooden pier of its kind in Europe.

   Human settlement in Sopot dates back to 2500 years and was part of Prussia in the 19th and 20th centuries fortunately avoiding much of the destruction of WWII, therefore retaining much of its pre-war charm making it the place to see and be seen.

 

The city of Kraków is the capital city of the Malopolskie (Lesser Poland or Little Poland) province in the southern region of Poland. It covers both banks of the Wisla river (or Vistula) river. Uplands region at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains. It is Poland's third largest city, with a population of 756,000 in 2007 (1.4 million after including surrounding communities).

Welcome to Krakow, a city wrapped in legend, where time flows differently, and where every moment becomes a moment of history. For centuries Krakow was the capital of Poland, the seat of kings, drawing great scholars and artists from the whole world. It is their talents and imagination we must thank for the city's rich legacy of unique historical relics, which reflect the most important trends in European culture.

The renaissance Royal Castle at Wawel, the gothic St Mary's Basilica, the historical trade pavilions of the Cloth Hall, the former separate Jewish city of Kazimierz, and even the Nowa Huta district, absorbed by Krakow together with its socialist-realist, industrial architecture, are all places which make a visit to Krakow extremely worthwhile.

Although the city no longer plays such an important administrative role, for many people, thanks to its rich history, Krakow nevertheless represents a synthesis of all things Polish, connecting tradition with modernity. In the special atmosphere of the beautiful and mysterious streets of the Old Town and Kazimierz you will find everything you need to allow you to escape from everyday life. Galleries full of exhibitions, cafes, pubs and restaurants: all of this is an integral part of any visit to Krakow. And all this is merely a modest part of what we can offer travellers seeking exciting destinations on the world map.
