Experiencing Kraków, Poland with API

Destination Overview

For centuries, Poland has been a bridge between the East and West. Set in the heart of Europe, Poland is a multifaceted country where the capital and medieval towns are trawled by contemporary city slickers, and where horse-drawn carts negotiate country lanes, untouched by progress.

Poland remains safe and reasonably inexpensive, with hospitable people who welcome visitors. Over the past decade, it has developed into a modern, vibrant and progressive state, yet at the same time, it maintains its traditional culture. A fascinating destination, we encourage you to explore this lovely country and see why our former students describe our program as “life-changing” and “a one-of-a-kind experience to remember”!
