Poland
Poland is a post-communist country situated in Central Europe, with a population of over 38 million people, which makes it the sixth most populous member of the European Union.
The establishment of a Polish state is often identified with the adoption of Christianity in 966, and Christianity still plays an important role in Polish life. Christian tradition (like Passion Plays, carols sung during Christmas or Corpus Christi processions) along with family life are highly valued, expecially in the south eastern regions of the country.
At the same time Poland, now a member of the EU has become the epitome of a changing continent.
The country modernizes and makes up for neglect of the Communist period.
Among the main tourist attractions are: great Polish cities: Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Poznan, Lublin, Torun, Masurian Lake District and pristine Białowieża Forest (so colled The Wild East) in the north-east, the Baltic beaches and cliffs in the north and the highest Polish mountains, the Tatra Mountains in the south.
