Where to go for the winter school holidays? Popular ideas

In Poland, winter break falls between mid-January and the end of February. The exact dates depend on your province. It’s a time for a family vacation, outdoor activities, or simply some well-deserved relaxation.

If you’re wondering how to plan your winter break, define your priorities. Do you want to go skiing in the mountains, explore Polish cities, or are you looking for a place with a pool and a relaxation area?

If you’re choosing warm-weather destinations, book well in advance. When planning your winter break in Poland, don’t wait either—apartments in Zakopane or accommodations in Koscielisko fill up quickly, especially during peak season.

More and more people are looking for an alternative to the cold weather. A winter vacation in a warm country is the perfect choice for those who prefer sand under their feet to snow on the slopes.

Egypt is a popular destination - the sun and ancient monuments create the perfect conditions for relaxation. Keep in mind, however, that days are shorter there in winter, and the temperature in the evening is around 15°C. The situation is similar in the Canary Islands. In Gran Canaria or Tenerife, daytime temperatures reach 24–28°C, but at night they can drop to 18°C.

For those seeking an exotic getaway, Thailand, the Maldives, or Vietnam are excellent choices. Such a trip, however, requires careful planning. Keep in mind, though, that Poland can be enchanting in winter, and winter break vacations within the country are definitely more accessible.

If you’re looking for a place to spend your winter break in Poland, there are plenty of destinations to choose from - from mountain peaks to seaside towns and cities with water parks or ice rinks.

Winter Break by the Sea

Although it’s an unusual choice, winter breaks by the sea are becoming increasingly popular. Winter walks along the beach have a unique, atmospheric charm. Imagine a frosty day, frost on the sand, and crisp, iodine-rich air. The peace and quiet, and the lack of crowds, let you truly relax.

Our apartments in Gdansk or accommodations in Mielno make for a great base. Also check out accommodations in Darlowo - this charming town is delightful even in the off-season.

City Break

Where to go for a city vacation? Choose Warsaw, Wrocław, Kraków, or Gdańsk. You’ll find museums, galleries, theaters, and cozy cafés there. Our apartments in Warsaw will give you convenient access to the heart of the action. It’s an opportunity to combine relaxation with culture.

Where should you go with kids so everyone is happy? The key is to choose places that offer attractions for both adults and children.

In Poland, Zakopane and Bialka Tatrzanska are classic destinations. Well-groomed slopes, ski schools, and hot springs make them a winter paradise. It’s also worth considering the Beskids: Szczyrk, Wisla, or Ustron. They offer a more peaceful atmosphere, sledding trails, and picturesque sleigh rides.

If you dream of snow and mountain views, you have several great options:

• Tatry (The Tatra Mountains) and Podhale: Zakopane, Kościelisko, and Białka Tatrzańska beckon with their ski slopes and a wide range of thermal baths. Our apartments in Zakopane are a great base for active travelers.
  
• Beskidy: Szczyrk and Wisla offer many ski slopes and beautiful hiking trails for families.
  
• Bieszczady: choose this region if you’re looking for peace and quiet, a connection with nature, and an escape from the hustle and bustle.
