New highlights for visitors in 2026
The year 2026 will be exceptional for visitors to Poland. New places and events will appear, making it easy to combine mountains, seaside and cultural events in a well-planned trip.
The Karkonosze Mountains: classic scenery and a new dimension of fun
This region of Poland is interesting year-round, with the permanent attractions of Szrenica and Śnieżka peaks, the Kamieńczyk and Szklarka waterfalls, the Wang temple, and a dense network of hiking and cycling trails. In spring 2026 QUERION will open, a hyper-media amusement park located in Piechowice, near Szklarska Poręba. Some of the highlights are a multi-sensory flight simulation of a scenic journey on a huge screen; a 360° room that reacts to visitors’ movements; a 270° immersive screen; and an interactive zone for children.
Enjoy QUERION regardless of the weather, and plan on a visit of two to three hours. Combine it with a short mountain hike on the same day for some fresh air.
The Tri-City and the Coastal city break with a course set for Bay of Puck
Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot offer historic streets, seaside charm, and great food. Expand your trip with the Bay of Puck, where a new electric water tram (Puck–Swarzewo–Chałupy) will start operating in early May. The one-hour cruise involves no traffic, takes bikes on board, and offers a new way to explore the peninsula. Plan: morning coffee in Puck, cruise to Chałupy, beach time or windsurfing, and a sunset return with bay views.
Warmia and Mazury: history in the spotlight, relaxation right next door
Holidays in Warmia and Mazury with a time travel experience? On July 18th, 2026, on fields near Grunwald, hundreds of reenactors will recreate the Polish-Teutonic Battle of 1410. Before the show, visit camps and craft demonstrations. Afterwards, relax by sailing in Giżycko or Mikołajki, kayaking on the Krutynia River, or cycling along lakes. In one weekend, you can combine a vivid history lesson with pure leisure in the Land of a Thousand Lakes.
Bielsko-Biała: 2026 Capital of Culture and gateway to the Beskids
At the foot of the Beskid Mountains, Bielsko-Biała blends an elegant city center, Art Nouveau architecture, and green hills perfect for short hikes or bike rides. You can take a cable car to Szyndzielnia, continue to Klimczok, enjoy Enduro Trails, and return to a lively town full of cafés and small squares.
In 2026, the city becomes Poland’s Capital of Culture. The opening on 17 January will include dancing parades, a concert in front of City Hall, and a gala at Cavatina Hall. Later events will feature concerts, theatre premieres, contemporary art and design exhibitions at Galeria Bielska BWA, historical displays and performances at Sułkowski Castle, and unique access to the Animated Film Studio. Under the motto “Weaving Wellbeing”, art installations and outdoor events will fill the city, making it easy to plan a day that flows from morning strolls to afternoon galleries and evening concerts.
