What's interesting about Poland? Travel guide+accommodation guide.

Compared with the European countries mentioned by Bian Xiao, Poland may be better than those cities. Because there are more scenery to see here, and it is better than Bian Xiao's soul. If you choose between these cities, Bian Xiao may choose Poland.

The accommodation bus arrived at five in the morning, and it was already dawn in Warsaw. But I see that many buses on the road are already crowded. I used to be such a diligent Polish.

Until I went to the first hotel.

I arrived at the hotel at 5: 30 in the morning, and then I knocked on the door of the hotel. Before I could speak,

A punk guy with tattoos and big ears began to complain about my rudeness. When I said I could put down my heavy backpack and go out for a walk first, and then sign in when I come back at noon or later.

He even said there was no room for my backpack.

Finally, I was asked out of the dormitory. I still paid a part of the fee that hostel can't cancel in advance, and obviously the information marked on hostelworld is 24-hour check-in.

Be sure to expose this hotel here to avoid more people booking. The name is hosteltravelplus.

Never make a reservation! ! ! ! ! !

Fortunately, my second hotel is surprisingly good. I arrived at half past six in the morning. I'm afraid I'll be disturbed again. Please book the information room above and check in at 9: 00.

So I waited at the door for two hours, then went upstairs and saw that host was still sleeping, so I put my backpack beside me, left a note and left.

Come back at noon Sign in, Sonis.

Recommended here, the name is Global Traveler. Affordable, located in the city center, close to the subway and bus station. The host is very good and the facilities are very good.

Very clean.

Currency and unionpay cash withdrawal

Although Poland is an EU country, it uses its own currency: zloty. The exchange rate is about 1 zloty: 1.8 RMB.

However, there is also a positive side. At present, Citibank and euronetbank, which are pro-tested in Poland, support UnionPay card withdrawal, and there is no handling fee unilaterally (again:

This kind of unilateral no handling fee means that Polish banks don't charge handling fees, but your bank card issuer may have a certain handling fee when inquiring or withdrawing cash from overseas UnionPay.

I use Nanjing Bank and Bank of Ningbo to check and withdraw cash.

However, if you choose to print the voucher at some ATM machines, the transaction will fail. I don't know why.

So if you choose to print the receipt and the transaction fails, try again without printing.

The overall price in Poland is similar to that in China. I think Warsaw is particularly like Beijing in Europe. I wonder if anyone has the same idea as me.

Language and Transportation (Vilnius-Warsaw) Polish, the official language, is not as popular as Baltic countries. Transport (Vilnius-Warsaw)

Vilnius Railway Station is opposite Vilnius Railway Station. I have already introduced it in Lithuania, so I won't go into details here.

It is worth mentioning that there are many buses from Vilnius to Warsaw, and the time points are similar. If you buy tickets online,

Remember to go to Euroline's office to confirm the platform of your car before getting on the bus. I saw two black buddies get on the wrong bus first.

When both cars arrived in kaunas, they were replaced by ours.

Warsaw Urban Transportation All public transportation systems in Warsaw (trams, buses, subways, urban railways, etc.). ) all belong to the municipal traffic management department of Warsaw (ZTM), but they are managed by several companies.

But all public transportation information can be found on the official website of ZTM.

Generally, there will be ticket vending machines in or near the station, with English options; Many buses and trams are also equipped with ticket vending machines.

If you don't have a ticket vending machine, you can buy tickets at Klosk, a grocery store that sells magazines and snacks nearby, and the post office will sell them for you.

In addition, railway stations, subway stations and other passenger service centers also sell complete tickets.

The difference is that ticket vending machines can use cash and credit cards to buy tickets, while the machines in the car can only use credit cards to buy tickets.

Card supports VISA or MasterCard.

Warsaw's bus billing method is like this:

1. Divide the whole city into 1 zone and zone 2. Most of the general urban areas, including the airport, belong to 1 zone, and the border areas belong to Zone 2.

2. According to the travel time (available in ZTM official website or Google Maps), it can be divided into three grades: 20 minutes, 75 minutes and 90 minutes.

3, divided into reduction and standard, reduction is suitable for students, children, disabled people, etc.;

4. The standard of 20-minute one-way ticket for the general 1 Zone 2 is 4.4zl, and the student ticket is 2.2zl.

5. You can buy one-day pass, seven-day pass, one-month pass and one-day pass 15zl.

6. Note: The public transport system in Poland adopts punch card system. If you buy a one-way ticket, you must punch in the punch machine when you get on the bus or at the subway entrance, and the punch will mark the time on the ticket.

If you buy a through ticket, such as a one-day ticket, you must punch in the punch card machine when you take the bus or subway for the first time, and then the time will start, and it will be valid until this time tomorrow.

There is no need to punch or swipe your card during the ride.

7. If the pass is printed and valid, you can think that you can get on and off the bus for free, just remember to bring your ticket. Warsaw system will randomly check.

If you find that you have evaded the ticket, you need to make up the ticket and impose a high fine.

8. The public transportation system in Warsaw is very developed, so it is very convenient to go anywhere directly.

6. Recommended urban attractions in Warsaw

My personal feeling is that the quality of Poles is not as good as that of Baltic countries, and the cleanliness of cities is also poor. The street is full of cigarette butts and used wine bottles. Basically, at 9: 10 in the morning, most people will come out for activities.

But life at night will last until late. Personally, Warsaw is like Beijing in Europe from people to cities.

I personally recommend the following points about Warsaw:

1. Panorama of Saint Anne Church

Next to the Castle Museum in the old city, there is a church, which is Saint Anne Church. The tower next to it is now open, overlooking the whole Warsaw new city and the old city. And the tickets are very cheap, only 5zl.

Starting at eleven o'clock in the morning, the little brother who sells tickets will also stamp the commemorative badge of Saint Anne Church on your ticket.

2. Warsaw Museum of Socialist Life

Yes, you heard me right. This is such an unwelcome place. There are only two socialist museums in the world, one in Warsaw and the other in Prague. Warsaw favored Polish life during Soviet rule in Poland.

At the same time, the younger brother who manages the museum also organizes Stalin-themed city tours part-time. You can try it if you are interested. When I went to the museum that day,

I am very excited and happy to see my little brother distributing vodka and coke to a tour group.

Location: g? Ucha3A，03-807Warszawa。 That's the intersection of Minska Street and Grucha Street.

This is a true portrayal of Poland in socialist life. If you have been to the Socialist Museum in Braque, you will feel that the two museums have completely different styles, painting styles and feelings about socialist life.

In short, if you have time, you might as well come here and have a look. Highly recommended.

Sanlian City (Gdansk/Sobot/Gdynia)

Tri-city in Poland refers to a metropolis consisting of three cities along the Baltic Sea in northern Poland: Gdansk, Sopote and Gdynis.

The three cities, with different histories and characteristics, have formed a unified urban consortium.

The three cities have three styles, all of which are full of tranquility and serenity. This reminds me of movies.

transport

Buses from Warsaw usually leave from Poland's West Bus Station. The address is Aleje Jerozolomsky144,00-001Warszawa.

However, if you book polskibus, you won't take the bus at the West Railway Station, but next to the subway station Mlociny or Wilanowska.

Take the subway M 1 to get there. When I got out of the subway, I saw a bunch of platforms, and platform 1 (1peson) was it.

There are buses from Bath, Polschi to Krakow, Gdansk, Wroclaw and Berlin. The station facilities are very simple. The facilities inside are also very general, and the wifi is unstable.

Fortunately, there is a toilet.

Traffic between triple cities

The most convenient mode of transportation in the three cities is a train named SKM, which runs every half hour to one hour from 5 am to 1 1 every day, with the frequency of 50 1 and 502 respectively.

50 1 is the direction of Dansk-Sobot-Gdynia, and 502 is the direction of Gdynia-Sobot-Gdynia.

The fare between every two cities is 3.8 zlotys. You can buy tickets at the manual window or the ticket vending machine. Remember to record the time on the station punch before getting on the bus.

SKM is very similar to the subway, and the ride experience is also very similar.

Gdansk is 20 minutes away from Sobot, and Sobot is 0/5 minutes away from Gdynia/Kloc.

Pay attention to many small stops between these three cities, and you can identify the city stops in the three cities you are going to without wondering what they are for:

Gdansk.-Gdansk? Oni

Sobot-Sobot

Gdynia Gege. Gdynia Gege. Oni

Other stations don't take buses.

Sanlian classic recommendation

Gdansk recommended the terrace of the history museum of the main city hall. The pavilion is in the museum, and the fare is 5 zlotys. You can see the whole city.

However, it is not recommended to climb the pavilion of Santa Maria Church. The ticket price is 8 zlotys, but the pavilion is sealed very high and can only be overlooked, so the viewing experience is very poor.

Sobot naturally recommends the trestle, which is the longest trestle in Europe. But the admission fee is 5 zlotys, and there will be many people. Finally, there will be a restaurant, which has a good evaluation.

And of course Sobot's crooked house. Costa coffee at present. In the long afternoon, you can have a cup of coffee in costa and see the Haha House.

Gdynia is a very new city with beautiful scenery around it. The rest of the museums look at personal interests.

Krakow Krakow, located on the Vistula River in southern Poland, is the second largest city in Poland. As a former royal capital, Krakow was a brilliant economic, academic, cultural and political center in medieval Europe.

Krakow is one of the most attractive cities in Poland.

In addition to the very antique old streets in Krakow, wieliczka salt mine and Auschwitz concentration camps are also famous around. I won't elaborate on the old streets in Krakow.

Just introduce the surrounding wieliczka salt mine and Auschwitz concentration camps.

wieliczka salt minev

A. Transportation

Another way to get from downtown Krakow to wieliczka salt mine is by bus or train, and so is the return trip. They are very convenient and fast, and the price is the same, all of which are 3.5 zlotys.

I take the bus and the train.

Krakow took the bus on the path next to the shopping center directly opposite Krakow Railway Station. Kuniki can take bus No.304, and just get on the bus and let the driver buy a ticket.

The return train can take a bus at the railway station next to the salt mine, or get on the bus to let the conductor buy tickets. The train is very comfortable and spacious, similar to the city railway.

When you arrive at the door, go to buy a ticket first, and then follow the tour guide to line up at the door of the nearest language group you choose. You can only follow the guide. I'll give you a walkie-talkie when I get in.

Tune in to $ number frequency band with your guide to listen to his explanation. Only Polish, English, Russian, Spanish, French, German and Italian can be selected.

The fare is 84 zlotys. If you want to take pictures, you need to buy a photo sticker separately for 10 zloty. Of course, you can also have the cheek to shoot directly, instead of buying like me. Tour guides are generally good.

I don't really care about you. If you are strict, you can ask for a high fine.

Going in is a claustrophobic nightmare.

Tip: You can choose to enter a museum at the bottom at the exit. The ticket is included in your ticket. If you ask about the guide museum at the door, they will advise you not to go.

It's the same as above, but it's totally bullshit! ! ! Because if we want to go, we need a guide to guide us. They actually don't want to lead people to museums any more. I finally insisted on going, and then several French and German university teachers said they would go together, so guide had to lead us to the museum. The whole attitude is completely different from the previous salt mine.

But it's really interesting. It feels more fun than the salt mine itself. There are paintings and works about salt mines in the exhibition, as well as items showing the real life of miners under salt mines. Auschwitz concentration camp

Auschwitz concentration camp is located 60 kilometers southwest of Krakow. It was built by Nazi Germany on April 27th, 1940. About 165438+ ten thousand people were slaughtered again, and 90% of the victims were Jews.

When the Soviet Red Army 1945 arrived, there were only 7,650 survivors, during which very few survivors managed to escape. Nazi Germany established three concentration camps here-Auschwitz, Birkenau and Monovitz.

Used to imprison Jews, Polish intellectuals, Soviet prisoners of war, homosexuals, criminals, etc. Forced them to engage in high-intensity labor, biochemical experiments and mass killings, as well as inhuman ethnic cleansing.

A. Transportation

From Krakow bus station, you can get off at Auschwitz by bus. You can also take the train at the railway station, but it takes 20 minutes to get off.

It takes about 2 hours, and the number of buses increases or decreases because of traffic congestion.

The bus fare is one way 14 PLN, and round trip 28 PLN. You can get on the bus and buy it from the driver or at the bus ticket office.

It is highly recommended to take a bus to Auschwitz concentration camp every hour and get off.

Address of Cracow Bus Terminal: Bosacka18,31-505 Krakó w.

Cracow bus terminal address

After arriving in Auschwitz, individuals who have not made an appointment or signed up for a visit can buy tickets at the White House, choose a language, then store their bags, go through security check and get a walkie-talkie.

You can safely wait for the arrival of the guide.

During this period, you can go to a small cinema to watch a documentary about 15 minutes.

Introduce Auschwitz concentration camp. After visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp museum for two hours, you can take the free bus between Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camp to Birkenau. If you visit Birkenau, return to Auschwitz by bus.

Pick up your bag and wait at the bus stop opposite to Krakow. Buses run every half an hour to an hour.

Diet To tell you the truth, I really have no feeling for Polish food. I still want to eat Chinese food there.

A restaurant with Vietnamese food and Chinese food recommended by Warsaw is called. The taste is acceptable.

There are two Chinese restaurants in Gdansk, one is LittleChinese next to the railway station, and the other is Lee'sChinese behind the old city. The price is very reasonable.

A dish is about 25 zlotys, including rice or noodles.

Of course, it is best to do it yourself in the guest house. I couldn't be happier to go back to the hotel and cook a bowl of white rice and stir-fry a dish comfortably.
