Exploring Poland with a Car Hire

The capital and also the largest city in Poland is Warsaw, located on the Vistula River, in the central east part of the country. Dating back to the 9th century the city was almost completely destroyed in World War II yet managed a rapid recovery and has kept much of its original history and charm. To experience the charm of the city, park your rental car in the area known as Old Town, and head off to see the sights. Follow the Royal Route from Old Town, through to Wilanow Palace, which is now a museum.

From Warsaw, head south in your hire car and visit Krakow, which was the capital of Poland until the end of the 16th century. A city rich in historic sites and amazing architecture, Krakow is a must for anyone visiting the country. To get a great view of the city, drive your hire car to the Town Hall Tower. Built in the 13th century, the tower has an observation deck on the top floor which is open to the public and provides an amazing view of the area.

Krakow is home to many impressive buildings, and among them are the Church of the Virgin Mary, built in 1666, and also Stara Synagoga, one of the oldest synagogues in the world. Just outside the city, only a short drive with your rental car, you can visit the Wieliczka Salt Mine, which operated for over 700 years. Inside the mine you will see amazing statues of famous figures and mythical creatures, along with chandeliers and furniture, all carved out of salt.

Apart from the historical value, many visitors come to Poland for the vast nature and amazing scenery throughout the country. Drive your hire car towards the south east corner of the country, and visit Bieszczady National Park. Home to many rare animals such as European Byson and Lynx, the park has amazing forests to explore, particularly scenic during winter when they are covered in snow.

During summer months in Poland, both tourists and locals alike head to the lakes and beaches to swim and unwind. Head north from Bieszczady in your rental car, towards the towns of Olsztyn, Elk and Mikolajki. These towns are located in the Masuria Lakeland region of the country, where you can find over 1000 lakes. Fishing, boating, swimming and kayaking are all popular here, definitely worth checking out during summer.
