[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Polish food isn’t great. And the political and social climate are very Catholic and borderline white supremacy. Plus: the Russia/Ukraine war.

Have you been to Norway? I’m watching a great show on Bergen on pbs right now. [/quote]

Wow, have you been there? Or are you just stereotyping? Because Polish food is awesome, and the people are very kind and welcoming. And nothing against Bergen (it’s naturally stunning), but very expensive and pretty boring. But my guess is you’ve never been there either. [/quote]

I’m Polish, and I stand by my comment that the food isn’t great and neither are the politics. I mean, come on. It’s a very white, very Catholic, very conservative country. Those are just facts.

Tell me which parts of Poland are fun for tourists? I’ll counter with better options.

We’re a mixed race (black/white) family and had a fantastic time on a recent two week trip to Poland. (And we’ve traveled pretty extensively throughout much of Europe so have a pretty good basis for comparison) It’s true that we didn’t see that many other people of color but we had nothing but positive experiences with everyone we interacted with.

We enjoyed each of the cities we visited, but the standout for us was Gdańsk/Sopot: fascinating history (the solidarity and WWII museums were terrific) and a great beach/resort type atmosphere at a fraction of the cost you’d pay in Western Europe…..not to mention much more temperate weather and a fraction of the tourist crowds. What’s not to like?

I’d agree that we weren’t particularly wowed by the food, but had decent enough meals at very reasonable prices.
