What makes a trip to Poland with Travel For Teens so special?

A Journey Epic History

Go beyond the textbook! Our trips offer an immersive, thought-provoking journey through pivotal moments in history. You’ll get a brief introduction to World War II history in Kazimierz, the Jewish District which was an independent city until the 19th century, and even stop for a snack at a cafe that was made famous by the movie “Schindler’s List.” Walk the streets of cities rebuilt after wartime destruction, gaining a profound appreciation for Poland’s remarkable story of survival and rebirth.

 

Witnessing History: Auschwitz-Birkenau

Have a first-hand look at the Holocaust on our tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau, an experience that will surely stay with you for the rest of your life. This visit to the infamous Nazi concentration camps gives us an opportunity to reflect on a very dark chapter in history.

Best of Polish Cuisine

Get ready to eat! Polish food is hearty, comforting, and unexpectedly diverse. You won’t just try local food; you’ll learn to make it in a cooking class, explore local markets, and find the best street food like authentic zapiekanka. This is a culinary adventure designed for teen taste buds.

Authentic Cultural Immersion

Our small group structure and local connections ensure you don’t just see the tourist spots—you live like a local. Learn a few Polish phrases and try ordering from a traditional Milk Bar (Bar Mleczny). Fall in love with Poland and enjoy all of the sights just a short walk from our hotel, including the largest medieval town square in Europe and the colorful Florianska, the main shopping street in Krakow.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

See all FAQs

Is Poland a safe and easy country for teens to travel?

Yes, Poland is generally considered a very safe country, with low crime rates, especially in tourist areas. As with any major city worldwide, we teach our groups to be aware of their surroundings and safeguard their belongings (especially against pickpockets in crowded spots), but overall, travelers feel very secure exploring Poland.

 

 

Do I need to speak Polish to get around?

No, while learning a few basic phrases (Dzień Dobry – Hello, Dziękuję – Thank you) is highly appreciated by locals, English is commonly spoken by younger generations and by those working in tourism, hotels, and main attractions, especially in large cities like Kraków and Warsaw.

What is the food like in Poland?

Polish food is hearty, traditional, and flavorful comfort food, based heavily on ingredients like potatoes, meat (especially pork and sausage), cabbage, root vegetables, and mushrooms, often prepared with dill, marjoram, and a generous amount of sour cream or butter.

 

What currency is used in Poland?

The official currency in Poland is the Polish Złoty (PLN), not the Euro. While major credit cards are widely accepted in cities, you’ll want some local currency for smaller shops, street vendors, and markets. We’ll help you with safe and easy currency exchange.

Authenticity is ingrained in everything we do. Eat, stay, and travel like a local.

"Travel for Teens had provided a summer of a lifetime over the past two years. This past summer, I went to Budapest, Krakow, Vienna, and Prague and it was unforgettable. We had amazing counselors and kids from across the United States, and everyone became friends instantly. Our itinerary was perfect, with there being a great balance of fun activities like tours, bike rides, and boats throughout the places we visited coupled with time to relax, eat, and walk around to explore. We spent a perfect amount of time in each city and got to drive in the European countryside multiple times, seeing some small towns and great views. The places we stayed were clean, and the restaurants we ate at were delicious. Everything about the trip was unforgettable and I'm already excited to take another trip next year. Thank you TFT!"

"Before I went on this trip I knew nothing about Croatia. I was mainly going on this trip cause the idea of spending a week on a boat island hopping sounded nice and relaxing. It most certainly was but Croatia has so much more to offer than that. Every island offered something new and unique. I never thought I'd be in a Cold War nuclear bunker on the same island they filmed Mama Mia two at yet there I was. The islands are just beautiful and offer the best of Eastern European culture. Additionally, if you are a Game of Thrones fan this trip is a must for you. Not a lot of people can say they have spent the night in King's Landing and this trip gives you the opportunity to say that. If relaxing on a boat and island hopping in a beautiful country sounds nice to you, then go on this trip."

"I have been on four TFT trips now, and my passion for the company and what TFT has to offer would not have been possible had I not gathered the courage to travel overseas alone for the first time. My expectations for this trip were exceeded beyond imagination; these three cities are each highlights of Eastern Europe and each offer their own unique culture that I was lucky enough to explore. Aside from the delicious trdelníks in Prague (a must have dessert if you’re there), I met friends on this trip and made connections with people I still keep in touch with to this day, almost 5 summers later. This program is extra special to me as it is what got me hooked on TFT, and it was the perfect introduction to the experience of being a traveler, not a tourist."

Lindsay P. Chicago, IL

"Thank you team TFT for providing such an amazing, organized, safe, age appropriate and most importantly fun experience for Erin. She came home raving about the trip and loved her entire experience, the mix of teens and her trip leaders.We couldn’t be more impressed with the TFT experience from our first inquiry call, to the travel planning support and most especially the communication during the trip itself. Looking forward to more TFT adventures for Erin and her sister Casey as well once she’s ready."
