This is a short travel guide for independent travellers to Poland and the Baltic countries of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. In particular, this guide covers the Polish cities of Gdansk, Wroclaw, Poznan, and Torun and describes the history and the sights that can be seen there. These places were chosen as the most interesting based on the guidebooks the author had read.
When visiting Gdansk, Poznan, and Wroclaw it’s difficult to believe that these cities were largely destroyed during WWII by both sides in turn.
The author describes the sights that can be seen in Lithuania including the unique places called the Grutas Park with its collection of Communist statues and the Hill of Crosses with its millions of religious symbols. He also visits Riga and Tallinn as well as the Rundale Palace in Latvia.
