What is the best time to go to Switzerland?

With its warm Mediterranean climate, Italy is best enjoyed from March to May and then September to early November. June, July, and August can get very hot, especially in the south and in the big cities like Rome and Florence. It’s also summer vacation for schools across Europe, so places can get very crowded and prices are also a lot higher. Outside these months, Italy can still be enjoyed, but really only in the cities. More rural destinations like Tuscany, Umbria, and Puglia all but close down. However, on a cold sunny day in Rome or Milan, there’s nothing more quintessentially Italian than throwing on your sunglasses and a big coat and taking a coffee outside in a pretty pavement cafe!

How much is an average vacation to Switzerland?

This obviously depends on how long you plan to go for and what standard of accommodation you want, but you should expect to pay around $550 per day. This includes all accommodation in a 4 or 5* hotel, meals in good quality restaurants, and private tours.

What is the best way to vacation in Switzerland?

Even though quite large by European standards, Italy is still relatively small, and getting around is very easy, especially by train, with a network of high-speed lines connecting all the major urban centers within a few hours. This makes the country perfect for a multi centre vacation. We recommend trying to mix a couple of cities like Venice and Florence with a rural location like the Lakes, the Cinque Terre coast, or the rolling hills of Tuscany. It should be noted that there are almost no domestic flights within Italy, as the government tries to discourage Italians from taking short-haul flights, but trains are usually the only option - but are often quicker than a flight and of course, take you from city center to city center.

Why we love private tours of Poland

Daniel

European Specialist

We’re always excited to visit Poland. Designing private tours of this country allows us to experience its many diverse historical, cultural, and scenic attractions. From north to south, it offers ancient castles – there are over 500 across the country, endless historic sites, atmospheric riverside towns, seaside resort towns with white sandy beaches on the Baltic, and beautiful mountains for hiking.

It’s also a place where one can get a real feel for history that’s shaped the world, such as a visit to Auschwitz, one of the most notorious sites of Nazi Germany’s genocidal program. There are monuments from the Communist era and magnificent restored palaces surrounded by gorgeous English gardens. In Warsaw, you’ll find Europe’s largest square and an Old Town with renowned nightlife featuring more pubs and bars per square meter than anywhere else on the planet. If you want to enjoy a variety of experiences, this is the place.

Best places to go in Poland

There are so many places to go in Poland you might have a tough time narrowing it down. Explore everything from Warsaw with its enticing mix of modern and history and Krakow’s UNESCO-listed core to seaside resorts and mountain towns.

Warsaw
Warsaw is Poland’s gritty capital offering a rich history and a picturesque Old Town with cobbled streets, gothic churches, and neoclassical palaces along with a Royal Castle, and fantastic museums.
Krakow
Krakow is considered the cultural hub of Poland, with magnificent architecture, a maze of streets in the Old Town, and Europe’s largest market square with street musicians, countless shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants.
Gdansk
Gdansk is not only the world’s amber capital, it’s a picturesque riverside city with colorful medieval architecture, and turbulent modern history – the city where the first shots of WWII were fired and where workers first rose up against the communist regime.

Best time to visit Poland

There’s a reason to visit Poland in every season. Spring and fall are generally the best seasons to visit, ideal for sightseeing with relatively milder weather and fewer crowds as compared to the summer. The summer is the warmest time and ideal for a beach getaway but it’s also the busiest period and rainfall, including sudden storms, are common. Winter is frigidly cold, but ideal for finding a cozy bar in Krakow’s old town and enjoying some lively jazz.

What to do in Poland

With diverse topography that includes everything from white sandy beaches on the Baltic Coast, mountains, lakes, and rivers to World War II sites and fascinating cities with Old Towns, there is no shortage of things to do in Poland.

Discover the rich history
Poland offers lots of intriguing historical sites, including Wawel Castle in Krakow which dates back to the 13th century. It’s an iconic symbol of the country and the former residence of Polish kings for centuries. While Auschwitz provides a somber look at the largest Nazi Germany concentration and extermination camp during WWII.
Experience the cultural scene
Warsaw has a fantastic modern side that includes a thriving art and music scene. When it comes to live music venues, you can easily find artists performing in English, Polish, and even both in one set. There’s been an explosion of independent galleries and art spaces in recently gentrified factories and warehouses.
Escape to nature
Visitors might be surprised to find some of Europe’s most breathtaking unspoiled nature in Poland, including the town of Zakopane at the base of the Tatra Mountains. Ideal for hiking, there are surreal turquoise lakes, rivers, and flower-filled valleys, along with abundant wildlife and miles of trails to explore.
