When to visit Bialowieza?
Spring – this season in the forest is gorgeous. We highly recommend visiting the Bialowieża Park in April or May, when everything blooms, nature comes back in full force and it begins to be warm (around 20C).
Summer – days are long and warm, exploring the Park is very pleasant, though it might be hot (30C).
Autumn – golden Polish Autumn is amazing! You can enjoy the multicolored forests and observe how nature begins to prepare itself for the upcoming winter.
Winter – Despite the low temperatures, winter is a perfect time to explore the forest. Bisons, wild boars and deers spend a lot of time searching for food and there is a good chance that you will meet them in the wild. This trip can be done with cross-country skis (on special request).

A great travel agency
AB Poland worked with me to completely customize my three days in Poland and make the most of my time. They answered all of my questions, made great suggestions and built the perfect itinerary all at reasonable enough prices. Plus, my guides Jacek in Warsaw and Kinga in Krakow were knowledgeable and friendly hosts, making conversation easy. Have nothing bad to say at all. I would highly recommend AB Poland.

Well worth a visit
My wife and I recently returned from taking this tour and cannot say enough nice things about it. Before we arrived in Poland we contacted AB Poland regarding questions and concerns we had. Monika at AB Poland responded promptly. Monika could not have been nicer- she/AB Poland arranged for our visas in order we may cross over the border in addition to arranging accommodation . The day of the tour our tour guide Przemyslaw met us at our hotel and drove us up to Bialowieza/Belarus. He was very knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable throughout our visit. This trip exceeded our expectations not only the destination but the also the people who arranged and took care of us. Would highly recommend this tour and AB Poland ... [read more]
