The Hidden Tastes of Poland
Discover Poland through its food on this seven-day tailor-made holiday, travelling by train between Gdansk, Warsaw and Krakow and joining a guided food tour in each city.
Begin in Gdansk, sampling traditional and contemporary Polish dishes while learning about the culinary traditions of the Baltic coast. Continue by train to Warsaw, where historic recipes sit alongside a thriving modern food scene, before finishing in Krakow, with its distinctive regional specialities and long-established food traditions. Each guided tour combines multiple tastings with stories about the dishes, ingredients and influences that have shaped Polish cuisine.
With centrally located four-star hotels, rail travel between cities and plenty of free time to explore independently, this holiday is ideal for food lovers who want to experience three very different Polish cities in one trip.
