#fallcolors Autumn in Poland was a magical experience! I spent most of my time in Kraków, where the streets of the Old Town looked even more charming with the trees turning shades of gold and red. Walking around Rynek Główny, the largest medieval square in Europe, is free, and the colorful autumn backdrop made it feel like I’d stepped into a fairytale. I also took a trip to Zakopane, nestled in the Tatra Mountains. The hiking trails were covered in fallen leaves, making the scenery absolutely breathtaking. Entry to the Tatra National Park is about 6 PLN (€1.50), and it’s worth every bit for the stunning views. Autumn in Poland is the perfect time to explore both its cities and nature! 🍂🏰🏞️ #AutumnInPoland #KrakowOldTown #TatraMountains #FallVibes #PolandAdventure #ZakopaneHiking

I went on a trip to Poland around the summer two years ago. There is a six to seven hour time difference between Poland and Japan. Poland is a neighboring country of Germany, and it takes four hours by train from Frankfurt or Munich to Poland. When going to Poland, I recommend getting off at an airport in Germany.

#Introducing the #Palace of Culture and Science, a landmark of Warsaw "As the tallest building in Poland, it is a landmark for tourists who stand out from anywhere in the city." 🌇 Actually, I had seen a heart-shaped building in a picture somewhere, so I was happy to see that it was that! 🙂 First, I went into the Palace of Culture and Science, which is the building next door, to see the night view. I remember being happy because there was also an LG building there! #WinterTravel #GourmetExploration #SafeTravel #HappyNewYear #CityTravel

A fairytale place - Czocha Castle in Poland, long corridors, backed by rivers, red roofs and study-filled dens, this castle can satisfy all the imagination of medieval castles. The castle of Zocha dates back to the thirteenth century, and although it has undergone many baptisms of war, it still maintains a complete romantic face. Now there are cafes and hotels in the castle, you can really experience the feeling of living in the castle, of course, the most important thing is to take 1000 photos!

I am still thinking about the Wieliczka Salt Mine. It is not a salt mine. It can be special, and the tickets should be the most expensive spots in Poland. Its not a diamond. How can it be so famous? When I really got to the bottom of the 300 meters, it was a little big contrast with my expectations. The beautiful Lithuanian narrator, Miss Sister, took us over fifty stairs, and the whole person was fainting haha. The deeper and deeper the shock, the more difficult it is to have more than 300 meters of churches, restaurants, lakes. There is a room. This mine is more like an underground city. Many of the halls are very empty and magnificent. It is not a nine-figure map. It can be called an artificial miracle. It can be regarded as a series of life. In the mine, how to smash the wall, it is salty hahaha. Most statues are carved with salt stone.

There are castles in the fairy tale, there are stories in the castle, today I recommend a special historic town - Krakow, a small city with few tourists in Asia. When I get up early, I dont have to go to the castle to pat. I seem to have a hard time laughing out on the tripod. The European sunshine is always very warm, so I dont want to avoid it, so Ive been darker recently. I have been thinking about the new meaning of travel for me at the present time. It is more like a way of life. It originates from life, but it is not higher than life. It is soluble in life, but it is not the whole life. Traveling every day can The different freshness that I touch will make my life look more vivid. However, there is no easy word in adult life. It is much harder to travel by travel than to travel by advertising or normal work. Now it is much harder to think about sticking to the original intention than to step-by-step development. Hahaha, there is no way to go under the sun. Kan, only the endless hurdle!

#Spring0yentrip #Overseastravel #Poland LOT Polish Airlines is Poland's national flag carrier, founded in 1929 and boasting a 95-year history this year, and is a member of Star Alliance. LOT means FLY in English, and the blue airplane logo stands out and is cute. I traveled to European countries from Narita via Warsaw. The airline flies to 145 cities around the world with its hub at Frederic Chopin Airport in the capital of Poland, Warsaw, and its Narita flights depart at night and arrive in the morning. Because it is a 2-minute flight, it is easy to board after work, and after arriving, it is convenient to use Warsaw as a base for connecting flights to neighboring countries❕😆 The in-flight meals are delicious, there are plenty of drinks, and there are blankets, cushions, and USB plugs🙆 What's unusual is that there is a footrest, which was nice in economy on a long route〜🥹🫶🏼 This time, I took not only the Narita flight, but also the short-distance flights from Warsaw to Krakow (Poland) and from Warsaw to Prague (Czech Republic), and even though the flight took about an hour, drinks and snacks were provided🥤

I will come again next time I come to Poland.
