Mountain escape for the long weekend: Zakopane
If you want to spend your May weekend outdoors, enjoying picturesque landscapes, Zakopane is an excellent place. A May holiday in the Tatras is not only about hiking mountain trails but also relaxing in thermal baths and enjoying delicious food in local inns.
For active leisure lovers, there are mountain trails with amazing views and other viewpoints. It's also worth visiting Kuźnice, from where you can take a cable car to Kasprowy Wierch, enjoying spectacular views of the Tatras. Zakopane is full of charming spots, perfect for a romantic walk. Remember that local delicious cuisine cannot be missing from the recipe for a successful May holiday.
Escape to the sea: Tricity
A May holiday by the Polish sea is always a great idea, and Tricity offers a full range of attractions all year round – wide beaches, historical sites, and excellent restaurants. Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia are another suggestion that attracts tourists, and May is a special time for sightseeing. Although the water temperature is not yet inviting for swimming, the soothing sound of the waves creates perfect conditions for a May holiday.
In Gdańsk, be sure to visit the Main Town – most attractions are located here, such as St. Mary's Basilica and the Golden Gate. Gdańsk would not be the same without Neptune, the Crane, and charming little streets. Sopot, of course, also features the famous Monciak, the city's main promenade, and the Sopot Pier.
Mountain waterfalls and Śnieżka: Karkonosze
If you prefer mountains, the Karkonosze Mountains full of interesting places are an ideal idea for the May holiday. You will find plenty of hiking trails of varying difficulty. The two most famous peaks, Śnieżka and Szrenica, guarantee a wonderful hike, and Karpacz and Szklarska Poręba are excellent base locations.
Karpacz offers many attractions and interesting monuments. It's definitely worth visiting the famous Wang Church, and nature lovers are attracted to the Museum of Sport and Tourism, dedicated to Karkonosze tourism, winter sports, and nature conservation. Meanwhile, Szklarska Poręba offers proximity to nature, the famous Szklarka waterfalls, and a scenic route leading to Harrachov in the Czech Republic.
May city break: Kraków
And where to go for the May holiday if you are drawn to a big city? We especially recommend Kraków – a city with mystical energy. This place was made for sightseeing. A May holiday in Kraków is a perfect opportunity to stroll around the Old Town, Kazimierz, or Podgórze and visit the most famous monuments. Every tourist will surely visit the Market Square with the Cloth Hall and St. Mary's Basilica – you cannot miss this extraordinary place where, at every full hour, the famous St. Mary's Trumpet Call is beautifully heard. For history enthusiasts, a must-visit on the map is the Royal Castle on Wawel Hill and Kazimierz.
Kraków also boasts vibrant bars and restaurants in the city center, trendy clubs, and numerous café gardens, which will be full of tourists during the May holiday.
