Well over twice the size of England but home to ten million less people, Poland’s tour hot spots are dotted the length and breadth of the country, each offering a singular experience. From the expansive squares and drinking dens of Krakow in the south to Old Town antics in Olsztyn in the north, and a genuine beach resort at Sopot, the country is unmatched in Eastern Europe for the variety of its destinations.

Teamlink in the Know: ‘The Kulig’ - Have you ever had a drinking race with a sheep and lost? How about riding a horse through a house? Or downing neat vodka as wenches serve suckling pig fresh off the spit? If the answer’s no then you’ve never been to the Kulig. Traditionally, this Polish custom involved noblemen hopping into horse-drawn sleighs, braving the snow to visit their neighbours for, basically, a house party involving succulent cuisine, large quantities of alcohol and games involving livestock. Nowadays, this Polish custom involves touring teams hopping into horse-drawn sleighs, braving the snow to visit their hosts in the forests of Olsztyn for, basically, a house party involving succulent cuisine, large quantities of alcohol and games involving livestock!

Krakow

Prices from £294

This bustling, mysterious city can be all things to all touring groups… provided you like a beer! The central market square and courtyards have beer gardens and drinking halls to cater for the largest groups while Krakow’s winding side streets shelter almost innumerable (you’ve got to find them to count them) cellar bars that commonly stay open until daybreak. Add to this a local brewery that welcomes visitors and pubs where you can tap your own keg right at the table and you have one of the best tour destinations in Poland.

Olsztyn

Prices from £335

Situated in northeast Poland, Olsztyn is sometimes overlooked by touring sides due to its distance from an airport but for teams willing to go that extra mile, there is an unforgettable experience to be had. The Old Town is the centre of Olsztyn’s nightlife, cramming in bars and clubs many of which stay open ‘til dawn - just as well considering things don’t get going until 10pm. There is also an after-dark attraction to be had in the woods surrounding the city that past tourists speak of in bewildered awe. It’s called the Kulig…  

Sopot

Prices from £329

Along with Gdansk and Gydnia, Sopot is known as one of the Tri-cities, three settlements on Poland’s Baltic coast and home to the country’s best beaches. Start your tour night out at the top of Monte Cassino Street, home to the town’s best bars and restaurants, before heading to the clubs at the shore where the party spills out onto the sand.
