Poland in Lonely Planet's top 10 to visit in 2016

Poland has been included in Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2016 ranking for countries, regions and cities worth visiting in 2016. "Recession-defying Poland has superpowers – while the rest of Europe descended into the doldrums, visitor numbers here climbed and there’s no end to the boom in sight as Wrocław prepares for a stint as European Capital of Culture 2016. Kraków will have a turn in the limelight too when the Pope arrives to celebrate World Youth Day, and new air routes to Kraków, Szczecin, Katowice, and Gdańsk means this is a destination on the rise," the popular travel guides publisher said on its website. Poland came in seventh in the ranking. Botswana, the US and Japan took the three first spots.
