Backpacking in Europe? One of the best countries to backpack is Poland in the center/east of Europe. Poland is certainly an underrated country of Europe. Some attractions Poland has for backpackers is a great night-life culture, deep history, the world's very first World Heritage Site, ancient cities influenced by other kingdoms (including German, Prussian, Austrian, Swede, Russian, and of course Polish Kingdoms), salt mines that are veritable underground cities, and much more.
Poland is also a cheaper country to visit with a very well-developed train and public transport network. One of Poland's most notable cities is the old Silesian city of Wrocław.
