Although summer is in full swing, we are already looking ahead and preparing inspiring autumn experiences for your clients. The coming months are the perfect time to discover the beauty of Southern Poland, when the Tatra Mountains are painted in golden and red colours, the weather remains pleasantly mild, and authentic local traditions come to life.

In this newsletter, we would like to introduce two exceptional group programmes – a Golden Autumn Escape in Zakopane and Redyk Festival, a special event in Tatra Mountains, celebrating the shepherd tradition.

Enjoy the inspiration below and let us know if you would like a tailor-made offer for your groups.
