Which city in Poland is the most underrated for travel

Although most tourists choose Warsaw, Krakow, or Gdansk for their travels, there are lesser-known cities in Poland that are just as rich in atmosphere and history. National Geographic Polska reports that artificial intelligence analyzed hundreds of Polish locations and determined the top three most underrated cities for travelers. In Poland writes.

Top cities worth visiting

According to the analysis, Tarnow took the first place - a city located 80 km from Krakow. It is known for its Renaissance architecture, a 16th-century town hall, an atmospheric market square, and an important Jewish heritage. In the 16th century, Tarnow even briefly was the capital of Hungary. The second and third places went to:

• Walbrzych - a city in Lower Silesia with the huge Ksiaz Castle and the museum "Old Mine", known throughout the country

• Helm - a city with a network of chalk tunnels, which received the status of "Wonder of Poland" in 2024

What makes these cities unique

Near Tarnow is the foothill region of Czengkowice with the reserve "Fossilized City" - a unique geological monument featuring bizarre rock formations. Due to its warm microclimate, Tarnow is sometimes referred to as the "heat pole" of Poland.

Walbrzych attracts tourists with its combination of mountainous landscapes and industrial heritage. The Ksiaz Castle is the third largest in the country, and the "Old Mine" museum allows you to see the miners' world from the inside.

Helm stands out with its underground tunnel system formed in the thickness of chalk. It is one of the most interesting tourist attractions in Eastern Poland.
