Poland: The Perfect Destination for Your Coolcation

If you live in a place where summer means intense heat, empty streets and escaping indoors for air conditioning, you probably know how exhausting this part of a year can become. People from countries like Italy, Spain, Australia or hot regions such as Florida or Middle East are struggling with extremely high temperatures above 40°C.

But what if summer could feel fresh, active and energizing again?

That is exactly why more and more travelers are discovering the idea of a “coolcation” It simply means choosing destinations where the climate allows to truly enjoy summer. One of the most exciting places for this kind of escape is Poland.

Poland is the best country to visit during summer! Instead of overwhelming temperatures and hiding from the sun, visitors can expect pleasant weather, typically around 20-27°C. Cities are lively, nature is green and fresh, and the overall atmosphere is perfect for travelers who want to combine relaxation with activity and exploration.

One of the biggest advantages of visiting Poland in summer is the incredible range of outdoor activities available. Travelers who love active holidays will find endless possibilities.

Firstly, kayaking. It is a fantastic way to explore the country’s rivers and natural landscapes for the adventure seekers. Poland offers beautiful kayaking routes through forests, valleys and protected natural areas, where the surroundings are peaceful and unspoiled. One of the most famous and scenic routes is the Czarna Hańcza River, known for its wild and clean water. As an experienced travel agency, we totally recommend that activity while being in Poland.

Cycling and mountain biking are also very popular, especially in southern Poland where scenic roads lead through rolling hills, charming villages and mountain landscapes. For those who enjoy hiking, the mountains offer spectacular views, fresh air and well-maintained trails suitable for both beginners and experienced hikers. There are several national parks located in the mountain regions, including the breathtaking Tatra National Park, where visitors can explore alpine trails, crystal-clear mountain lakes and dramatic peaks of the Tatra Mountains.

While mentioning the National Parks, it is necessary to point out Białowieża, the oldest national park in Poland and one of the oldest in Europe. In the forest you can find a wide spectrum of plants and animals that occur nowhere else. According to specialists, Białowieża Forest is home to 25,000 species of animals and more than 1,000 species of plants. If you want to experience nature at its best and see what the world untouched by civilization looks like, take part in our all inclusive trip to the Bialowieza National Park.

For those, who would like to experience a truly unique way of seeing the country, a hot air balloon flight over Poland’s countryside and historic towns is an unforgettable option. Floating gently above rivers, forests, feeling the wind on your skin, especially during sunset creates a magical perspective that many travelers describe as one of the highlights of their trip. You have to try it at least once in your life!

Another wonderful way to explore the country is by Mobile Home (RV). Poland is perfect for road trips, with excellent road conditions, diverse landscapes and plenty of beautiful places to stop along the way. In just a few hours you can travel from historic cities to lakes, forests or mountain regions.

For groups of friends or families, the perfect size is often six to eight people. This allows travelers to enjoy private transport with a professional driver at a very attractive cost per person. With this setup, exploring multiple destinations becomes effortless. Our company operates its own fleet of vehicles, offering private transportation with models such as Renault Trafic, Volkswagen Sharan, and premium Mercedes Vito (2016 & 2026). 

Beyond nature and adventure, Poland is also becoming one of Europe’s most exciting culinary destinations. In recent years the country has gained international recognition for its dynamic restaurant scene. Several restaurants have already received Michelin stars, including Bottiglieria 1881 in Kraków, Muga in Poznań, Arco by Paco Pérez in Gdańsk or Nuta in Warsaw.

At the same time, Poland offers an impressive number of outstanding fine dining restaurants that have not yet received Michelin stars but still provide exceptional culinary experiences at more affordable budget. Perhaps the most surprising part for visitors is the value: a fine dining experience that might cost several hundred euros in Western Europe can often be enjoyed in Poland for a fraction of the price, while still delivering world-class quality. If you love to eat good and to try new cuisines, we would gladly organize a food tour for you!

Poland has also been gaining increasing international recognition as a travel destination. Cities such as Warsaw, Kraków and Wrocław are frequently ranked among the most beautiful and most interesting cities to visit in Europe. The country continues to appear in international tourism rankings and has been recognized in global competitions such as:

1. European best destinations : Warsaw - 1^st place in Europe's More Inspiring Cities to Watch in 2026

3. Michelin guide : Wroclaw - 4^th place in The Best Places to Travel in 2026 for Food Lovers

Visitors are often pleasantly surprised by the quality of accommodation as well. Many hotels and apartment buildings have been built relatively recently, meaning that even three-star hotels in Poland often offer a higher standard than similarly rated hotels in many other European destinations. Modern apartments and stylish Airbnb options are also widely available, making it easy to find comfortable and well-designed places to stay.

Furthermore, it is worth emphasizing how safe Poland is. Tourists are always full of admiration. City walking tours are one of the best ways to explore a city, allowing you to fully experience it while a knowledgeable guide shares its history and stories. We offer tours in major cities across Poland, such as: Kraków, Warsaw, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia, Toruń, Łódź, Poznań.

If you are looking for a summer holiday that feels different, energizing and full of discovery, Poland might be exactly the destination you didn’t know you were looking for. And if you bring a group of friends, the experience becomes even better: more flexible, more personal and surprisingly affordable. Our company would be delighted to help you plan an unforgettable experience!
