    • Get an adrenaline rush at Energylandia.
    • Chill out in the relaxing thermal pools of Zakopane.
    • Cable car to the summit of the Tatra Mountains.
    Explore Southern Poland, starting from the iconic city of Kraków and making a short trip to Auschwitz Birkenau. Your experience here will be deep and thought-provoking. A moment of unselfish reflection. Having taken up a lot of the emotional energy of the day, you'll head for a relaxing evening in Katowice, a city largely off the beaten travel path.
    Your second day will be in stark contrast to the first, a day of high-octane and adventure at Energylandia theme park. This is the biggest theme park in the region and boasts some incredible rollercoasters. Day 3 will take you up into the Tatra mountains and the beautiful town of Zakopane. Here you'll experience serene relaxation in the thermal pools and eat tasty traditional Polish food in the numerous taverns.
    The final day is a spectacular one. A cable car journey to the summit of the Tatra mountains in a scene like something out of a classic 007 movie. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many, and simply a must-do. The views are breathtaking, and the memories will stay with you forever.

Nevertheless, you'll journey into Katowice afterward for your hotel. Katowice is an often over-looked city. It has its own individual charm, very different from nearby Kraków and Wrocław.
