We’ve already ranked Poland as the fifth best country in Europe. Why? Poland is likely responsible for the bagel. Duh. On top of creating God’s gift to Earth, it’s also an affordable country to travel.
Poland offers natural beauty, incredible cities, exciting food and tons of history. The country is a significant contributor to the arts and science, with five Nobel Prize Laureates, making it a great place to step up your smarts.
