with Poland. Then take in the Polish countryside, cities, and towns as
you head to Warsaw, arriving at the day’s end. (B, L, D)

of the last king of Poland. Then on to see the Palace of Science and
Culture (known as a “wedding cake”), the Saxon Gardens, Tomb of the

and the Barbican. Finally, on a walking tour, see the Old Town, Old
