I agree with Siegfried, plus Beskidy. Moreover I would recommend to learn Polish in one of the schools in Poland (Krakow) or in Radom as my sister did.

Have a nice trip

Poland is a beautiful country where you can not only get to know an amazing culture, but also a wonderful nature. At the same time many people choose to come here to take advantage of treatment. They usually choose places such as the American Clinic, a part of Medicover Hospital in Warsaw. We can get there many complicated procedures, or if in doubt, take advantage of this option as the Second Opinion. Within its framework, we can again be diagnosed by another doctor and it will be possible to take a different treatment from that which has been used so far.

Poland is in my opinion one of the most interesting European destinations. Its capital, Warsaw, is one of my favourite cities. It is modern and traditional at the same time – it is fascinating. My favourite aspect are all the small, cozy restaurants and bars that are almost everywhere. My personal favourite is Bubbles Bar and Restaurant in the downtown. It is a very unique place, with nice, casual atmosphere. They serve delicious champagnes and sparkling wines paired up with delicious, always fresh food.

Poland is an incredible and very unique European countries. It is very often underestimated but usually everybody who visits it finds out that it is in fact a great place, worth visiting. Its capital, Warsaw is one of my favorite cities I have traveled to so far. There are many amazing places there, where one can feel the Polish atmosphere and get to know this great country. One of my favorite places in Warsaw is actually a restaurant called the Akademia. It is a restaurant with Polish cuisine but in modern versions. Everything there is really high quality and so delicious!
