If you're looking to go somewhere different on holiday this year, then why not try somewhere new in Poland.
Here are three fantastic destinations that have much to offer.
Gdansk Situated on the Baltic sea coastline in northern Poland, Gdansk is the capital city of Pomeranian Voivodship and - together with Sopot and Gdynia - forms the Tricity conurbation.
While Sopot is a popular seaside resort and Gdynia is a busy port, Gdansk has made its name among tourists for its thousand year Polish-German history and majestic architecture.
Its Old Town attracts close to the same number of visitors that frequent the popular destinations of Krakow and Warsaw.
However, this is not a city living in the past.
It has a vibrant and burgeoning economy and much of its population are young adults.
This is also partly down to its strong academic reputation and graduates deciding to remain in Gdansk even after their education has finished.
While commerce is a strong in the city, Gdansk is also the home of important businesses in the electronics, petrochemical and telecommunications industries.
In fact, many UK businesses have opted to launch an East European arm to the organisation in the growing city.
Wroclaw Wroclaw is the capital of Lower Silesia and is located upon the Odra river.
It's maze of islands and bridges have seen the city become popular with tourists, while earning it the moniker of the 'Venice of Poland'.
Like Gdansk, Wroclaw has over a thousand years of history - in which time it has been owned by four countries, changed its name five times and undergone considerable cultural changes.
With Krakow recently described as the new Prague, many now feel Wroclaw could become the new Krakow.
A university town, there is a youthful exuberance about the city, with a lively nightlife and cultural scene as a result.
With a plethora of cafes, restaurants and hotels, it is well-stocked with everything a visitor could want.
Katowice With cheap flights to Katowice now available, this Upper Silesia-located city has seen tourism steadily grow, while others have used the airport as a useful place to touch down on route to other destinations.
For those that stay a while to explore, there's much to offer.
The city may not boast the same cultural delights as the other two cities, but it does still home the Wyspianski Silesian Theatre and a number of museums.
It also has some of the finest parks and gardens in Poland.
The Silesian Culture and Refreshment Park is particularly pleasing during warmer months.
The city is also well-known for its live music, with tourists able to catch a number of acts at underground clubs or the Cogitatur, Katowice's premier concert venue.
