Hospitality

Traditional hospitality has always been and continues to be associated with our beautiful country, which is open to tourists. This very Polish hospitality is legendary and dates back to the period of Sarmatia, nobleman’s manors and feasting. Accepting every traveler under their roof was a matter of common courtesy. The well-known proverb “Guest at home, God at home” reflects this Polish hospitality. Those words spoken at the beginning of a visit signify the joy of welcoming a guest in one’s house. Today our guests can experience it both in big-city hotels, picturesquely located manors and palaces and in the idyllic surroundings of agro-tourism farms or rural vineyards. Our hospitality is also inevitably linked to our tasty cuisine. Tempting proposals for getting to know Poland through the prism of table delights can be found in the offer of Polish culinary routes . They cover the whole country and lead among tourist attractions: historical cities, museums, castles, national parks, sanctuaries, underground routes, recreational facilities. Along with the culinary delights, all these attractions make up the charm of the local routes. Whether in the mountains or by the sea, on plains, uplands or among lakes, the magic of flavors and tastes spreads its power, according to the proverb “through the stomach to the heart”, which takes on a new meaning on a culinary trail.

Sightseeing

Poland is a country with a long tradition of over a thousand years and a turbulent history. This is evidenced by the remaining numerous monuments of settlement, defensive, sacral or industrial architecture. The multitude and variety of those sights attract visitors who are kindly and professionally welcomed.

And there is something for everyone! There are numerous castles, palaces and mansions , mostly surrounded by historic and beautifully maintained gardens . Naturally, it is worth starting your adventure with castles and palaces from the most famous, largest, entered to the UNESCO list, or having great significance for the cultural and historical heritage of our country. And those will certainly be among them: The Wawel Royal Castle, the Royal Castle in Warsaw, the Książ Castle and the Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork.

The high number of religious monuments scattered throughout the country, including Europe’s famous sanctuaries such as Jasna Góra [Luminous Mount] in Częstochowa , will interest not only pilgrims but also lovers of beautiful architecture and ornaments from many eras.

There are also archaeological sites (e.g., the Archaeological Museum in Biskupin, the Slavs and Vikings Center in Wolin, the Ethnographic Park in Sanok and the Ethnographic Park in Tokarnia ), mighty forts and fortifications erected for military purposes (e.g., Srebrna Góra, Modlin, Międzyrzecki Rejon Umocniony [Międzyrzecz Fortified Region]), monuments of technology and industry (including the UNESCO-listed salt mines in Wieliczka and Bochnia ), wooden architecture (The Wooden Architecture Route in Małopolska, Podkarpacie and Silesia) create a rich array of opportunities to visit our country.

They have been created throughout history, under different conditions, often as a result of the clash of influences between Western European and Eastern cultures. Today, those historical sites are offered to our guests as attractions or products of special value. Some serve as museums, and some are used directly to serve visitors as hotels or conference centers.

And what will a nature -loving tourist see? — — national parks , over 120 landscape parks , numerous urban parks and gardens , and those embedded in the landscape of small towns, villages and green areas. The tourist will see coastal and mountain, lowland and upland landscapes; they will see rivers, ponds and lakes, forests, woods and primeval forests …

There is a lot to see in Poland and every tourist will find something special for themselves!

e travel poland

Since its beginnings, Poland has been at the center of Europe – at the crossroads of different cultures. Therefore, here you will learn about multicultural and diverse traditions, historical monuments and interesting history. In terms of those resources, Poland is competitive on the European tourism market as it has many valued assets in the form of sites and events of high historical value – a testimony of Polish and European history, flourishing culture and arts.

Discover the rich history and cultural heritage of a country in the center of Europe through as many as 17 sites from Poland entered to the UNESCO World Heritage List. And the venues and sites are very diverse, with something for everyone. Among them there are castles, historical centers, mines, parks …

Apart from the historical centers of Kraków and Toruń , with their fascinating authentic medieval buildings, Warsaw’s Old Town occupies a special place in our heritage. Appreciated by the UNESCO commission as it was completely rebuilt after the destruction of World War II. Among the Polish Old Towns on the UNESCO list you will also find the Renaissance „Padua of the North”, i.e. Zamość .

One of Poland’s very attractive tourist regions – the Małopolska province – is rich in as many as 5 sites entered to the UNESCO list. Among them, apart from the already mentioned Old Town in Kraków within the old walls, Wawel Hill and the Kazimierz and Stradom districts , the region can also boast the world-famous Royal Salt Mines in Wieliczka and Bochnia, or the wooden churches of Małopolska. Not only wooden churches are among the UNESCO sites in Poland, but also wooden Orthodox churches in the Polish and Ukrainian Carpathian region .

The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork is also on the UNESCO list in Poland as a unique architectural work on a global scale whose bold and innovative technical solutions were later used in other strongholds.

The Centennial Hall in Wrocław was also included in this noble group of our country’s sites due to the „revolutionary” use of reinforced concrete as the cover with the largest span in the world. Not far from Wrocław you can visit the extraordinary Churches of Peace in Jawor and Świdnica with their impressive interiors decorated with magnificent polychromes. If you head further west towards the German border, you will find yourself in Muskau Park , a German-Polish cross-border facility and the largest English-style park in Poland and Germany.

Additionally, Poland’s cultural heritage assets include those listed by UNESCO in recent years: Lead, silver and zinc ore mine in Tarnowskie Góry (in 2017) and Krzemionka region of prehistoric striped flint mining (in 2019).

In our country, you will also find two natural heritage assets listed by UNESCO. These include the ancient, more than 500-year-old Białowieża Forest as a Polish-Belarusian transboundary site and the recently inscribed (in 2021) Ancient and Primordial Beech Forests of the Carpathians and other European regions.

Polish roads will take you to interesting places connected with local customs and unusual traditions. The most important of these is … Polish hospitality! You will experience it, especially in the Polish countryside, where, in addition to well-organized and well-equipped agro-tourism farms, you will find beautiful landscapes, the cultural and culinary richness of the regions and a multitude of traditional and local products.

In the picturesque village of Koniaków , located in the south of Poland in the Silesian Province, you can see and buy unusual lace clothing … The village owes its uniqueness to the two-hundred-year-old, yet still alive, tradition of crocheting lace wonders. The mesh products from Koniaków have become so famous that everyone wants to own one. Tiny flowers, fanciful leaves, delicate buds … Dresses, shawls, tablecloths, napkins, or curtains are standard. But when lace makers received orders for lingerie, a lace war broke out. Although lace from altars worn under skirts still causes controversy, there are wonders on offer from Koniaków lace makers with such names as: „Subtle Heart” or „Swan Grace”.

The folklore of Łowicz is an interesting example of unusual traditions and costumes. Łowicz – a small town in the Łódzkie Province, is known for its colorful folk culture, including costumes, dialect, dance, music, festivals and Łowicz handicrafts, such as cut-outs and spiders made of colorful paper. The Łowicz costume is one of the richest and most attractive Polish folk costumes, still worn today. The beauty of the Łowicz costume was used in the fashions of other regions. The feast of Corpus Christi is celebrated exceptionally beautifully in Łowicz with a colorful procession in which the folk costume of Łowicz will catch everyone’s eye.

Of course, festive customs are most closely associated with Polish tradition. Polish Easter is traditionally accompanied by many colorful events and tourist attractions. In Poland in particular, Easter is unique, having been part of our tradition and culture for centuries. Those include Easter markets, fairs and markets, colorful processions accompanying Palm Sunday and the associated competitions for the prettiest or largest Easter palm, Easter festivals, Easter egg painting workshops, and cheerful games traditionally associated with Easter Monday. The blessing of food in colorfully decorated baskets on Easter Saturday is undoubtedly an extremely attractive tradition. Christmas in the Polish way, on the other hand, means a Christmas tree sparkling with different colors, fragrant gingerbread and Christmas carols. Unique gifts, beautiful Christmas decorations or the wonderful smells of Christmas dishes are just some of the attractions we can find at fairs that spring up before Christmas in central locations in Polish cities and towns. The Christmas fairs have become real hits, loved by tourists and locals alike.

Get inspired by those unique traditions, travel to Poland and explore many other unusual places, where you will find rich folklore and hospitable locals.

e travel poland

Theatrical performances, film screenings, festivals and concerts, which are a real treat for music lovers, exhibitions of paintings, posters, photographs, which will delight art connoisseurs, and to top it off, wherever you go there is fantastic historical architecture. In Poland, even the most demanding tourist will experience sublime moments and pleasurable sensations that they will not forget after returning home.

For our guests, Poland offers a wide range of places where culture can be fully experienced through the sensations of admiring art (numerous museums and galleries, e.g., n ational museums in large cities ) or music (e.g., Chopin concerts in Warsaw’s Royal Łazienki Park ).

In addition, well-known music festivals and concerts (e.g. „ Orange Warsaw Festival”, „Open’er Festival Gdynia”, „Misteria Paschalia” in Kraków ), unique re-enactments and historical shows (e.g. the re-enactment of the Battle of Grunwald, the open-air show „Eagle and Cross”, „The Siege of Malbork”, „Storming of Zamość Fortress „), amazing light events and spectacular shows (e.g. festivals of light : „Light Move Festival” in Łódź and „Bella Skyway Festival” in Toruń ), fairs and international cultural events—all this is organized in Poland—a country in the center of Europe with an interesting history and a rich cultural heritage of diverse traditions.

Everyone will find a perfect event for themselves!

First-timer's guide to Poland

Everything you need to know about visiting Poland for the first time © Imgorthand / Getty Images

Supported by

Poland  has a long, fascinating, sometimes tragic history, played out against a backdrop of royal castles and palaces, picturesque old towns and incredible landscapes.

From the Carpathian Mountains in the south to the Great Masurian Lakes in the north, Poland is a dream destination if you’re up for an activity-driven vacation – hiking, cycling and kayaking opportunities are abundant, plus there’s skiing in the winter.

If urban pleasures are more your thing, vibrant cities such as the capital Warsaw , the atmospheric old capital Kraków , and revamped 19th-century industrial powerhouse Łódź do not disappoint. Each offers masses of cultural attractions alongside delicious dining and lively nightlife scenes – all at very affordable prices.

As Poland is a big country packed with travel possibilities, you’re sure to have questions. Here are some tips and practical advice on how to get the most out of your first trip to Poland.

When should I go to Poland?

There’s no time of the year to specifically avoid when scheduling a trip. For fine weather and the chance to join summer festivals and events such as Kraków’s Jewish Culture Festival and Warsaw’s Summer Jazz Days , come between May and early September.

Towns and cities come alive as the warmer temperatures tempt everyone outside for alfresco dining and drinking. This is peak season, too, for visiting Poland’s 23 national parks.

The countryside in spring and autumn can also be very beautiful. Winter is the quietest season, except in ski resorts such as Zakopane . Come prepared for frigid temperatures and sloshing through snow and rain.

Compensations include low season rates at hotels and plenty of excellent museums in the major cities in which to shelter from the elements. Autumn through early spring is also when performing arts institutions such as Warsaw’s Teatr Wielki and Filharmonia Narodowa run their season of top-grade shows.

How much time do I need to visit Poland?

Two, or better, three days is the minimum needed for a short city break to either Warsaw or Kraków. You won’t have enough time to cover everything, but you will be able to get a feel for these places and tick off the main attractions.

If you’re prepared to move around quickly, you could cram in more of Poland over 10 days to two weeks, adding to your itinerary metropolises such as Gdańsk (also close to the Baltic seaside resort of Sopot ) and Łódź, as well as smaller historic towns like the artists’ retreat Kazimierz Dolny and Zamość , a perfectly preserved 16th-century Renaissance town.

Have a month to spare? Now you’re talking! This will give you the opportunity to explore rural backwaters and national parks such as World Heritage-listed Białowieża National Park , home to some 800 free-roaming European bison, Poland’s national symbol and Europe’s largest land mammal; and Karkonosze National Park with its spectacular Ice Age glacier-carved landscapes.

Is it easy to get in and around Poland?

Poland is tethered to the world by international flights. The capital’s main airport is the central Warsaw Chopin Airport , with Modlin Airport , 39km (24 miles) north of the city, handling budget carriers.

Other international airports include Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport, Katowice Airport, Kraków John Paul II International Airport, Łódż Airport and Wrocław Airport . There are also excellent rail and bus links, especially with Western European neighbors, including overnight train services to Berlin and Vienna .

Getting around Poland itself is a breeze. There’s a comprehensive system of buses and trains offering both frequent services and affordable prices. For more remote parts, including nearly all the national parks, you’ll really need your own set of wheels.

Hiring a car is straightforward and the roads have vastly improved in recent years (although you will encounter some unsealed roads in the most rural regions). Major cities and towns all have decent public transport, and you can easily cover historic old town centers on foot.

Top things to do in Poland

Kraków, the former royal capital, is a stunner with its heady blend of history and harmonious architecture. At its heart are the vast Rynek Główny, Europe’s largest medieval marketplace, and the magnificent Wawel Royal Castle , on a hill above the Old Town.

But that's just the start – every part of the city is fascinating, from the former Jewish district of Kazimierz and its lively nightlife to the atomic fallout shelters of Nowa Huta .

Warsaw had to be almost completely rebuilt after WWII. The powerful Warsaw Rising Museum focuses on the darkest hours of WWII, while the Museum of Warsaw superbly documents the city's rise, fall and resurrection. Also don’t miss the award-winning POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews , and regal Wilanów Palace and surrounding lush parkland.

Toruń , a walled Gothic city on the Vistula River, miraculously escaped WWII intact. Wander through the UNESCO-listed Old Town crammed with museums, churches, grand mansions and squares. When you’re flagging, perk up with a peppery gingerbread cookie, Toruń’s signature snack, which you can make yourself at the Gingerbread Museum .

The UNESCO-listed Białowieża National Park holds one of Europe’s last vestiges of primeval forest, which you can visit in the company of a guide. The bison, which was once extinct outside zoos, has been successfully reintroduced here, although your best bet for seeing these magnificent animals is the region’s European Bison Show Reserve .

My favorite thing to do in Poland

I’m a huge fan of street art and Łódź has embraced this public form of creative expression unlike anywhere else in Poland - the city is practically one giant art gallery! There are well over 200 public works of art ranging from massive painted murals to installations involving neon, nails and porcelain tiles.

Among my favorites are Pasaż Róży, a dazzling courtyard completely plastered with mirror fragments arranged in swirling rose patterns, and Wiedźmin, a 70m tall mural designed by Jakub Rebelka on the sides of adjacent apartment blocks – it’s a homage to the Witcher series of fantasy books by Łódź-based author Andrzej Sapkowski.

How much money do I need for Poland?

Like everywhere in Europe in recent times, prices have been rising in Poland. That said, the country offers great value, especially when it comes to accommodation, dining out and entertainment. Getting around by public transport is also a bargain.

  • Hostel room: 60 zł
  • Basic room for two: 200 zł
  • Self-catering apartment (including Airbnb): 120 zł
  • Public transport ticket: 3.40 zł
  • Coffee: 15-20 zł
  • Sandwich: 15 zł
  • Dinner for two: 150-200 zł
  • Beer/pint at the bar: 12 zł

Is Poland part of the EU?

Yes, which means if you’re crossing into the country from neighboring EU countries – the Czech Republic (Czechia), Germany , Lithuania and Slovakia – there are no border formalities. However, rather than the euro, Poland’s national currency is the złoty (zł, sometimes also abbreviated as PLN) which dates back to the 14th century.

Most places accept card or electronic payments but sometimes you will need to pay in cash so it’s handy to keep some money in your wallet.

How easy is it to get online?

Very easy. Depending on your home mobile phone/internet plans, you should be able to surf the web and stay in touch using a smartphone or tablet. There are plenty of wifi hotspots and some of them are free.

What’s Polish food like?

Locals like nothing better than scoffing comfort foods such as pączki (rose-jam filled doughnuts) or a plate of pierogi , dough dumplings stuffed with anything from cottage cheese, potato and meat to blueberries or other fruits.

Traditional cooking is rustic and flavorful and can be summed up by Poland’s signature kiełbasa sausages. These are usually made with pork and various seasonings, though other meats, like beef and veal, can be added.

Beyond such staples Polish cuisine also includes hearty soups and dishes such as beef tartare. In the major cities and towns, there’s a wide choice of world cuisines alongside creative renditions of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

eSIM for Poland

The Best eSIM for Poland Travel in 2024

Traveling to Poland and want to stay connected? eSIM cards are the best way to get data coverage abroad while saving money and space. An eSIM loads a data plan directly onto your phone rather than using a physical SIM card.

We researched and tested the top eSIM providers for Poland to find the 3 best options based on price, data, coverage, and ease of use. Read on for full details and recommendations!

Buy eSIM For Travel

Overview of the Top 3 eSIMs for Poland

1. airalo poland esim.

  • Prices from $5-13 USD
  • 1GB to 10GB data options
  • Uses Plus Poland network with good coverage
  • Easy online purchase and activation

2. Orange Holidays Poland eSIM

  • 30GB for €25
  • Includes EU phone number for calls/texts
  • Orange Poland network with excellent coverage

3. Ubigi Poland eSIM

  • 500MB to 50GB options
  • Prices from €2 to €99
  • Multiple Poland & Europe plans
  • Works on Orange, Play & T-Mobile networks

Choosing the Best Poland eSIM Provider

When picking an eSIM for travel in Poland, there are a few key factors to consider:

Data allowances – How much data do you need? Options range from 1GB for light use to unlimited data.

Length of stay – If visiting long-term, look for longer validity up to 365 days. For a short trip, a 7 or 30-day eSIM is fine.

Coverage & speeds – Make sure your eSIM provider uses networks with solid coverage to avoid dead zones. 5G and 4G LTE provide the fastest speeds.

Pricing – Calculate the price per GB to find the best value. Watch for deals on multi-country eSIMs if visiting other European destinations.

Ease of activation – The activation process varies greatly between eSIM companies. Some are instant while others require ID verification.

With those factors in mind, let’s dive into the top 3 recommended eSIMs for travel in Poland.

Best eSIM for Poland

Airalo tops our list as the best overall eSIM provider for Poland thanks to its low prices, excellent coverage, and easy setup.

This pioneering eSIM company launched in 2019 and now covers over 200 countries with plans starting at just $5. Airalo earned our #1 pick for Poland with these highlights:

Data packages

Airalo’s Poland eSIM, aptly named “Cześć”, offers 4 options ranging from 1GB for $5 to 10GB for $13. The 3GB, 5GB, and 10GB plans provide enough data for most travelers at very affordable rates.

Network & speeds

In Poland, Airalo uses the Plus Poland network which tested well for coverage and 4G LTE speeds. You can manually switch networks if desired.

Plans are valid for either 7 days or 30 days which covers typical Poland trip lengths.

Ease of use

Ordering and activating an Airalo eSIM takes just minutes online with no need to provide identification documents.

For these reasons, the Airalo Cześć Poland eSIM strikes the best balance of value, speeds, coverage, and convenience for travel within the country making it our top overall pick.

Orange is a major European carrier so it’s no surprise they offer the best network coverage and fastest 5G speeds for travel in Poland.

The Orange Holidays eSIM for Poland really stands out for including an EU phone number and voice/text allowances giving you a temporary “local” Polish mobile number, all at the lowest price per GB in our review:

Huge 30GB data

At €25 for a massive 30GB of high-speed data, Orange has the best price per GB in our lineup costing just €0.83 per GB.

EU phone number

Orange provides an EU phone number from Poland to make and receive calls & texts to standard European numbers throughout your trip. This gives you a local presence at no extra cost.

Polish mobile number

Your included EU phone number will have a Polish (+48) country code so people recognize it as local when you call or text.

Leading network coverage & 5G speeds

Orange uses Poland’s top-rated mobile network for both coverage reach and 5G/LTE speeds according to multiple independent tests.

The only downsides are needing to verify ID when purchasing and shorter 15 day validity that suits shorter trips.

For fast 5G speeds, huge high-speed data, EU calls & texts, plus the lowest price per GB, Orange Holidays is hands-down the top Poland eSIM provider for 2024.

Rounding out the top 3 is Ubigi – a lesser known but highly versatile eSIM provider with both Poland specific and multi-country Europe plans at reasonable rates.

Travellers that need flexibility will appreciate Ubigi’s range of short & long-term options with allowance for Poland only or all-Europe coverage:

Poland only data packages

Local Poland monthly plans come with either 3GB for €6 or 10GB for €12 valid for 30 days.

EU and Europe eSIMs

Ubigi offers EU-wide and larger Europe plans covering ~50 countries ranging from 500MB to massive 50GB allowances when travelling regionally.

Multi network access

An advantage of Ubigi is that you can manually switch between Orange, Play and T-Mobile networks for the best signal.

Reasonable price per GB

Both the Poland specific and Euro eSIMs offer decent rates averaging ~€2 per GB. Orange still beats Ubigi on outright price per GB but lacks flexibility.

While not the cheapest, runners-up Ubigi wins on flexibility with customization for Polandonly or Europewide use across a long list of Supported networks.

Getting Set Up With Your Poland eSIM

Ordering and installing an eSIM for the first time can seem daunting but the process is quite straightforward.

Here is a quick 4 step guide to get your eSIM activated for travel use in Poland:

1. Order your plan online

Browse eSIM provider websites like Airalo or Orange to view available Poland plans. Select your preferred data package and checkout.

2. Get activation email

Once payment confirmations, you’ll receive an activation email containing eSIM login details plus a QR activation code (may take 1-24 hours to arrive depending on company).

3. Install eSIM app

For iPhone, simply open the email on your device and tap the QR code to launch the built-in eSIM installation and follow prompts. Android users download the provider’s eSIM app first before scanning QR to install.

4. Connect to network

It may take up to 15 minutes after scanning QR for eSIM plan details, phone number, and mobile data to fully activate on device. Be sure data roaming is enabled for eSIM to connect.

And that’s it! Your eSIM will be ready to provide mobile data and optionally EU calls&texts after a quick 5-15min activation process.

eSIM Card for Poland – Comparison Chart

Choosing the right poland esim plan.

With many great eSIM options for Poland out there, make sure to consider your individual travel needs before purchasing:

Light or moderate use

For light data use under 5GB/month, Airalo provides excellent value plans that also work throughout Europe. Orange’s 30GB eSIM allows liberal data use.

Heavy data consumption

Power users should look to Ubigi’s Europe plans with up to 50GB allowances or unlimited Optus eSIM that provide more high-speed data at reasonable rates.

Long term travel

If staying over 2 weeks, Airalo’s 30 day validity works well. For longer multi-month trips, check rates for new 90, 180, and 365 day eSIMs by major providers.

EU calls & texts

To use your device for calling & messaging while abroad, Orange eSIM includes an EU phone number and credits. Alternatively, Google Fi provides roaming in 170 countries.

No matter your requirements, one of top Poland eSIM providers featured here will get you set up with flexible hassle-free connectivity for calling, texting or getting online as you explore incredible Poland!

Ten of the best cycling holidays for 2024

2024 is set to be one of those cycling mega-years. On top of the usual three professional Grand Tours – in France, Spain, and Italy – and the World Championships in Switzerland, a summer Olympics (also in France) will be thrown in, for an extra sprinkle of fairy dust. 

The Tour of Britain’s future still hangs in the balance, but across Europe and around the world, professional and amateur cyclists are gearing up for another 12 months of hairpin corners and steep ascents. 

If the cycling bug hasn’t already bitten you, then 2024 might be the year it finally latches on. From Wales to the Arctic, we’ve selected ten of the best cycling holidays to whet your ravenous appetite, including serious cycles for the Mamils and Mawils, and gentle pootles for the easy riders, too. 

Cycle the Cotswolds 

New for 2024, this Oxford to Bath guided bike tour starts in the city of dreaming spires and ends with curved rows of honeystone Georgian buildings. 

On the way you’ll take in villages such as Bibury, described by William Morris as the most beautiful in England, and Bampton, where scenes from Downton Abbey were filmed. Famed for its rolling hills and centuries-old pubs, the route also weaves through Bourton-on-the-Water, the Venice of the Cotswolds. 

Exodus Adventure Travels ’ (020 8772 3743) new six-day tour starts at £2,099 per person, including bed and breakfast accommodation and a trip leader throughout. 

Brecon Beacons and beyond 

If you like the idea of carrying all your own gear and travelling under your own steam, then Roam Bikepacking offers something slightly different. It will equip you with a bike, saddlebags, a tent and sleeping bag, allowing you to get fully off road and into the wild.

Its new tour for 2024 will see guests take on Gospel Pass, Wales’s highest road, and Devil’s Staircase – one of Britain’s toughest climbs, reaching a maximum gradient of 20 per cent. They’ll also tell you about the best places to wild camp and swim. 

Roam Bikepacking (07967 870654) can organise this four-day tour for £425 per person (camping) or £550 (B&B).

One for the road in France

2024 is set to be a vintage year for cycling in France. Not only will it host the annual Tour but also the summer Olympics. But while the pros will be powered by sports drinks and protein shakes, how about a leisurely amble around Champagne and Burgundy – two of Europe’s great wine-growing regions.

Highlights of this new tour include a visit to Notre Dame Cathedral in Reims, and a tasting at the Côte des Blancs wine estate. The laid-back route also takes in historic Dijon, the charming capital of Burgundy. 

Exodus Adventure Travels (020 8772 3743) offers a seven-day tour from £4,399 per person, including flights, half-board accommodation, bike hire and a trip leader. Departures on June 23, July 14 and Sept 15 2024. 

Midnight sun in Norway’s Lofoten Islands

This new self-guided cycling holiday explores one of northern Europe’s most spectacular and isolated regions, the Lofoten Archipelago. The route takes in deserted beaches and tiny fishing villages. If you’re really lucky, you might spot a white-tailed eagle.

Head north between the end of May and mid-July and the sun won’t set at all. Your bright nights will be spent in seaside lodges and red fishermen’s cabins. As for fuel: booze certainly won’t be cheap, but there will be plenty of local cheese and stockfish dumplings. 

Headwater (01606 720199) is offering this new self-guided trip between June and August from £3,419 per person, including flights, accommodation, bike hire, and meals.

Discover the rural patchwork of Poland

Poland, you say? It’s not a country that many would associate with a cycling holiday, but then again, few operators share the vision of The Slow Cyclist, renowned for its off-the-beaten-track adventures. 

This new tour kicks off in May and takes in Poland’s Lower Silesia region, bordering Germany and northern Czechia. By day, you’ll pass castles, forests and extinct volcanoes, but at night there’s plenty of time for Polish wine – the country is home to 400 vineyards – and nutritious hearty local food. Silesia is best known for its poppyseed cakes. 

The Slow Cyclist (01865 410356) is offering a new four-night trip from £2,290 per person, based on travelling as a group of 12, including airport transfers, a support vehicle, and English-speaking guides. 

Train like a pro in the French Alps 

Aimed at serious cyclists, this week-long training camp based out of Morzine – host of the Tour de France on more than 20 occasions – is probably as close to riding professionally as you can get. 

This “holiday” includes a private chef, daily massages, and a support vehicle. You’ll also receive a pre-camp training plan and an all-inclusive drinks package for the evenings. But don’t overdo it – the cycling will be tough. You’ll climb over 40,000 feet in a week. One of the climbs, the Col de la Pierre Carrée, is considered among the toughest in the world. 

Sa Calobra Cycling Club (0033 688 699 160) is running this seven-night holiday between June 28 and July 5 2024 and costs from £2,208 per person. 

A long weekend in Italy’s Dolomites 

This is a convenient cycling holiday for people who don’t fancy spending a whole week in the saddle. Rather than moving each night, you’ll be based in a four-star lakeside hotel, in the village of Alleghe. 

Each day ride comes in three options, offering mighty climbs for experienced col baggers, or more relaxed jaunts for the beginners. Epic scenery is, however, guaranteed for all. Day four tackles Marmolada, the highest mountain in the Dolomites. 

Marmot Tours (01373 830409) offers four-night tours for £1,350 per person this July and August. Airport transfers and half-board accommodation are included, so too is wine with dinner. 

Explore Ireland’s south coast 

Cycle from Kerry to Cork on this new self-guided eight-day tour, which explores the green and hilly backroads of Ireland’s glorious south. Highlights include the forests and coasts around Clonakilty, and the Drombeg Stone Circle: 17 standing stones that date back 2,000 years. 

An evening spent in the coastal town of Kinsale gives riders the option to visit James’s Fort, the ruins of a 17th-century fortress. The final day’s riding passes the Royal Cork Yacht Club, purportedly the world’s oldest. 

Saddle Skedaddle (0191 265 1110) will run this new tour between April and October and it costs from £1,445 per person, including bed and breakfast accommodation, luggage transfers and digital route notes.

An e-bike tour of southern Japan

Explore the mountainous splendour of Shikoku, the smallest of Japan’s main islands, on a Yamaha e-bike tour, which covers 240 miles in a week. Following sections of the car-free Shimanami Kaido cycling trail, you’ll hop between the smaller islands of the Seto Inland Sea via five suspension bridges. 

After touring the Shikoku temple pilgrimage route – comprising 88 sacred sites – your evenings will include sake tastings and soaks in onsens (hot springs). Add-on excursions to Hiroshima and Kyoto can be arranged at the start and end of the tour. 

Freedom Treks (01273 977968) offers this holiday in March, April and May. Prices start from £3,757 and include accommodation, meals and a local guide. 

Ride across America 

The Big Daddy of cycling holidays, this 67-night expedition will cross one of the planet’s greatest nations, and takes in the Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone National Park and the Great Plains. 

On this 4,000-mile journey between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans you’ll average 67 miles a day, with a rest day every 10. The comfort, company, and security of a group will make it extra special. 2024 is a US Presidential Election year, so expect plenty to talk about. 

Bike Adventures (01273 413489) is running a TransAm tour between July 14 and Sept 18, including a tour leader, support vehicle and accommodation, costing £10,395 per person.
