This isn’t going to be the regular tourism site about Poland. There are plenty of those. I’m not going to write about its history and culture either or any other facts you can easily find elsewhere.

My goal is to write about interesting and unusual things to do, places to see or stuff to know about Poland. Digging from my own personal experiences and travels. Basically it’s going to be about anything I find worthwhile to share and of which I think you might enjoy!

For example.

Maybe you haven’t ever been in Poland and when you think about Poland you visualize a poor country with old fashioned streets and stores. But did you know one of the largest shopping centers in Europe is in the heart of the Polish capital?

In februari 2007 ‘The Golden Terraces‘ were opened in Warsaw. The center houses 200 stores, cinemas, restaurants and numerous office buildings. It already received an award for the best commercial project in the world. The price tag? About 500 million euro.

It seems that over the last years these mega-malls popup in every major city in Poland like mushrooms after a rain shower in fall. However, if you want your Poland visit to be a budget vacation, you better avoid these places for shopping, prices are much higher than in other places. And besides - you’ll find little ‘real Poland’ in these centers. Still they are often pretty impressive structures.
