What to Do in Poland in Winter 2023
Poland offers a variety of destinations in winter, whether you like more urban adventures or want to head to the mountains (yes, mountains!). Krakow and Warsaw have lovely architecture and history and also offer many museums and attractions for cold weather. The Warsaw Royal Castle is worth a visit, while in Krakow you can see the Bonerowski Palace. Both of these cities, plus others like Poznan and Gdansk have lovely Christmas markets that are open from the end of November through December. The southern part of the country has the Tatra Mountains and Mt. Gubalowka. Visit the mountain town of Zakopane and go skiing from there. You might be surprised that ski slopes are free, although you do need to pay to use the lifts. The weather will hover around or below freezing, depending on where you are. A sedan will get you around in the flat north, but in the mountainous south, an SUV and winter tires are recommended.

Straightforward process and the whole experience was smooth. We had an issue with the debit card we presented (N26) as it could not be accepted according to the agency's policies, but the agent showed flexibility and was willing to help. I recommend SIXT!

I had a great experience. Kindly got a complimentary upgrade to a nearly new car. The checkout process was clear and fairly quick. I only saw the negative reviews on Google halfway through the rental period, so was slightly concerned I'd get a few surprises returning the car, but this wasn't the case. Very simple return and no shock costs. As my normal routine, I took a few pictures before picking up the car, but these weren't required in the end. Would use again
