What are the unpopular countries in Europe that are suitable for tourism?

Speaking of European tourism, many travel agencies are 15-day eight-country tours, and so on. Such tourists are still signing up. Bian Xiao, as a person who loves to travel, really can't understand. On average, a country can't stay for two days. What can you remember? The following small series will recommend some countries in Europe that are suitable for tourism but relatively unpopular. Have fun!

The unpopular country in the Schengen area, our first thought is-Poland! This Slavic country with a strong religious tradition will feel a completely different temperament from western European countries as soon as it enters the country. Poland has not only Chopin, but also the modern war-torn history, the most beautiful medieval city in Europe and the largest original ecology. There are 14 cultural and natural heritages in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Krakow, Warsaw, Wroclaw and many other cities have not yet entered the list of popular destinations for domestic travelers, but they are all very attractive and worth visiting.

Let's talk about the reasons for going to Poland:

1. Poland has history and stories.

Poland was once the largest and strongest country in Europe in the16th century, but it almost recovered after its decline. It was carved up and destroyed by neighboring countries for more than 200 years, and it was not until World War I that the country was re-founded. Poland died in World War II and became the main battlefield of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, with a population loss of more than 6 million. The roller coaster-like ups and downs in the long river of history have left Poland with a lot of historical sites worthy of mourning. From the magnificent castles, palaces and medieval old cities, we saw the once prosperity, while Warsaw and Auschwitz, which were almost razed to the ground, witnessed the pain. If you are interested in European history, a trip to Poland is definitely the most unforgettable history lesson.

2. Poland is cheap

Poland has joined the European Union, but it still uses its own currency zloty (1 zloty is almost 1.7 RMB). Compared with western Europe, Poland is so cheap that it is definitely a good choice for cheap travel. In terms of food, necessities such as milk and bread are much cheaper than those in China; In Warsaw, Krakow and other big cities, it only takes 8- 10 zloty to order a large glass of beer in a bar, and ordinary people can have a super sumptuous dinner in a restaurant. If you want to eat simply, you can eat sandwiches. 10-20 zloty, jiaozi. Accommodation is also very affordable. You can stay in a good hotel around 150 zloty. Other small cities are certainly cheaper.

3. There is Krakow in Poland

Krakow is definitely a pearl of Europe. This ancient medieval city can rank among the most beautiful cities in Europe and has not been occupied by tourists. Krakow was the capital of Poland in its heyday and one of the richest cities in medieval Europe. The old city escaped the fire of World War II, and the palaces, churches and old squares were well preserved. In addition to the old city, Kazimierz Jewish quarter has retained its changes and traditional characteristics. It can be said that Krakow today is like Prague that was not discovered by the world 20 years ago. If you want to go, you should make use of it now!

4. Food, beer and vodka.

Don't try to lose weight when you go to Poland, just open your mouth and eat! When you go to Poland, you must try jiaozi, which is a specialty of Poland. Besides the traditional meat stuffing, you can also try the sweet jiaozi with cheese stuffing and cranberry jam. Polish food is an authentic Eastern European flavor, which is abundant and affordable. Backpackers can also eat like local tyrants in Poland. Polish beer is not lost to Germany or Czech Republic, and it is a local brand.

Ywiec, Okocim and Tyskie

It's all the love of local people. As for Polish vodka, it is an eternal controversial topic between Poles and Russians to know who is the country of origin of vodka and whose vodka tastes better. Recommend to try the famous vodka in Poland.

Ubrówka, maybe you will side with the Poles.

5. From Old Castle to Contemporary Architecture

Poland is also a destination that architectural fans can't miss. There are more than 100 castles scattered in this country, among which Marburg, as the largest brick castle in the world, is listed in the world cultural heritage, and the royal castles in Warsaw and Krakow are also amazing. Colorful17th century townhouses in several ancient cities are like movie sets, and Za Mosic Town is a perfect example of a Renaissance city. Speaking of contemporary architecture, South Gdansk

The upside-down house in Szymbark village, the century-old concert hall in Wroclaw, the crooked house in Sobot and the symphony orchestra concert hall in Szczecin are all new landmarks with their own characteristics.

6. Polish traditions and festivals

Unlike western European countries, 90% of the people in Poland believe in Catholicism, and almost all of them believe in religion, plus Protestants and Orthodox Christians. There are still many reservations about traditional values and lifestyles in Poland. Perhaps the church is the most common in Poland, and mass every Sunday is a reserved item for many Polish families. There will be large-scale ceremonies on major festivals such as Christmas and Easter. There will be fairs in various cities around the festival, and you can buy seasonal food and souvenirs, which is very lively. Traveling during traditional festivals is a good window to see Polish culture and character.

7. Nature is the real wealth of Poland.

If you love mountains, forests and nature, go to Poland without hesitation. There are 26 national parks in Poland, with large areas of lakes, swamps, wetlands, forests and mountains. The Biawowiza forest in the east is the last virgin forest in the European continent. Most areas have been uninhabited for 800 years and are the habitat of the last European bison. There are more than 2,000 lakes in Mazur Lake area in the northeast, which has been selected as the final candidate list of the new seven natural wonders in the world. Gothatras in the south is a paradise for skiers and hikers, and the wooden church with a history of hundreds of years on the mountain is listed as a world cultural heritage.
