Poland
Located in the heart of Europe, Poland on the
one hand seems caught in a time-warp boasting beautiful
country-sides from the lake-districts in the north to the Tatra
mountains in the south, medieval towns and castles a-plenty. On the
other hand, particularly the cities have become modern and vibrant
with an economy really starting to pick up pace.
