What to do and see in Eastern Poland, Eastern Poland: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do
An area that changed flags several times in the 20th century, Eastern Poland consists of Podlaskie, Lublin and Subcarpathian Voivodships (Provinces). The largest cities in each are Bialystok, Lublin and Zamosc respectively. The Masurian Lake District in the northeast includes Wigry National Park and Lake Hancza, the deepest lake in Poland. Bialowieza National Park, on the Belarusian border, protects one of the last remaining sections of a huge primeval forest that once covered Eastern Europe.

The formar nazi concentration camp has been very well organised as a museum. Very large areas so be prepared to do lots of walking. It took us 4 hours to get around all of it. And that was with three exhibitions closed for renovations. We have been to Auschwitz, but even so this was well worth the visit.

Based on past reviews on TripAdvisor, we booked an English-speaking tour thru PTTK. While I could spend all day out, my teenage daughter was not so gung ho, so I booked the 4h “most popular tour”. The back and forth via email was a little trying, but they just wanted to check, double-check (and triple-check) that I understood that if no one else requested an English tour on that day, then I would have to pay the full price (~ 400 zloty) for a tour. If anyone else joined in later, they promised that I’d be refunded some portion. Plus, I had to pay in advance by either transferring the money or by sending my credit card details via unsecured email. So, it’s expensive and a leap of faith, but because of the positive reviews here, I was confident they were a trustworthy group. Visiting this park has been in my bucket list for over 20 years, so I was willing to take on the expense. I decided to transfer the tour fee via TransferWise (*much* cheaper and faster than bank-to-bank, can highly recommend). Indeed we were the only English speakers that day (at least with PTTK, which seems to be the main outfit in the park), and so we had Patryck all to ourselves. We absolutely hit the jackpot. He is a scientist in the field, an encyclopedia of knowledge, enthusiastic, friendly, and said that when talking about Bialowieza, he was more comfortable speaking in English than in Polish. We learned a lot from him and had a very enjoyable time. It was an easy, flat walk through the woods, relating historical events to the current situation. The bugs weren’t too bad (but later in the day elsewhere in the park they were horrendous!), sneakers perfectly adequate, long pants/trousers recommended (some narrow paths with stinging nettles). We didn’t see any wildlife other than insects and birds. You have to get up earlier than my teenage daughter was prepared to do! But she, too, was very happy with the tour. Afterwards, we bought a map and checked out some other hiking trails along the Belarusian border. That was also beautiful, but even more so because of all the knowledge we had just gained from Patryck.

Lublin's magnificent Old Town, restored a few years ago, delights with its charm and history, one of my favorite cities in Poland, which I like to visit both in summer and in winter.

The Lublin Open Air Village Museum was established in 1970. Set in 60 acres of picturesque land it is one of the largest open air museums in Poland. The area is composed of several parts reflecting particular geographical units of Lublin region. Our Museum preserves the historic images of villages, manors and provincial towns with their regional characteristic features of buildings and settlement layouts. Field crops, gardens and livestock enrich the open air museum exhibition. Customs, rituals and daily work of people living in the past are recreated thanks to the abundance of exhibits. At present, traditional rural architecture of Lublin Upland, Roztocze and Vistula River Region is represented, whereas Podlasie as well as Bug River Region are still under construction. The image of the past is complemented by a provincial town and a manor house accompanied by a park. What you may find particularly appealing about the Museum are the 17th century Roman Catholic church and th

Great museum far from from city center but close from botanic garden, you can discover here polish way of life through centuries. Natural, campaign, you will see polish house that help to understand why you have so much natural places in poland. Nice to do in couple or with children, you can spend half a day here and eat in nature.
