Which unpopular countries in Europe are suitable for tourism?

Speaking of European tourism, many travel agencies 15 travel to eight countries, and so on. Such tourists have also signed up. As a person who loves to travel, Bian Xiao really can't understand. An average country can't stay for two days. What do you remember? Here are some European countries that are suitable for tourism but relatively unpopular. Have fun!

Among the unpopular Schengen countries, Poland is our first thought! This Slavic country with a strong religious tradition will feel a completely different temperament from western European countries as soon as it sets foot in this country. Poland has not only Chopin, but also a modern and war-torn history. It also has the most beautiful medieval city in Europe and the largest original ecology. 14 cultural and natural heritage has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Krakow, Warsaw, Wroclaw and other cities are not included in 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 a history and a story.

Poland was once the largest and strongest country in Europe in the16th century, but after its decline, it was almost vulnerable. 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 rebuilt. Poland died again 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 2. 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 resplendent castles, palaces and medieval old cities, we saw the prosperity of the past, while Warsaw and Auschwitz, which were almost razed to the ground, witnessed the tragedy. If you are interested in European history, then the trip to Poland is definitely the most unforgettable history lesson.

Poland is very cheap.

Poland has joined the European Union, but it still uses its own currency, the zloty (1 zloty 1.7 yuan RMB). Compared with western Europe, Poland is so cheap that it is definitely a good choice for cheap travel. Generally speaking, daily necessities such as milk and bread are much cheaper than domestic ones; In Warsaw, Krakow and other big cities, ordering a large glass of beer in a bar only takes 8- 10 zloty, and you can have a sumptuous dinner in a restaurant with a per capita of 40-50 zloty. Simply eat, a sandwich of 10-20 zloty and a Polish jiaozi are enough. Accommodation is also very affordable. 150 zloty can stay in a good hotel. 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 it 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 still retains its vicissitudes and traditional characteristics. It can be said that Krakow 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 think about losing weight when you go to Poland, open your heart and eat! When you go to Poland, you must try jiaozi, which is a characteristic of Poland. Besides the traditional meat stuffing, you can also try the sweet jiaozi with cheese stuffing and red berry 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 local brands ywiec, Okoshim and Teski are all local favorites. As for Polish vodka, you know, who is the country of origin of vodka and whose vodka tastes better is an eternal controversial topic between Poles and Russians. Try the famous Polish vodka ubrwka (Buffalo grass), and maybe you will stand by and watch 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 ancient castles scattered on this land, among which Marburg is listed as the largest brick castle in the world, 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. When it comes to contemporary architecture, the upside-down house in the village of Szymbark in the south of Gdansk, the century-old concert hall in Wroclaw, the crooked house in Soford and the symphony orchestra concert hall in Szczecin are all new landmarks with distinctive features.

6. Polish traditions and festivals

Different from western European countries, up to now, 90% of Polish adults believe in Catholicism, and almost all people, including Protestants and Orthodox Christians, believe in religion. Poland still has many traditional values and lifestyles. Perhaps the most popular place in Poland is the church. Mass every Sunday is a reserved item for many Polish families. On Christmas, Easter and other major festivals, there will be large-scale ceremonies. Before the festival, there will be a market in every city for three or four weeks, where 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 vast lakes, swamps, wetlands, forests and mountains. Biawowiza forest in the east is the last virgin forest in the European continent. Most areas have not been inhabited by humans for 800 years, which is the habitat of only a few European bison. There are more than 2,000 lakes in mazur Lake in the northeast, and it has been selected as the final candidate list of the new seven natural wonders of 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.
