Hotels in Lesser Poland, Poland
Lesser Poland is a region in southern Poland with cold, snowy winters (averaging 23°F/-5°C) ideal for skiing at Zakopane in the Tatra Mountains, and warm summers (around 68°F/20°C) perfect for hiking to Rysy, the country's highest peak at 8,199 feet. It's famous for Krakow's medieval Old Town, a UNESCO site with the 13th-century St. Mary's Basilica, and the Wieliczka Salt Mine, where you can explore underground chambers and saline lakes 1,000 feet below ground. In winter, hit the slopes at Kasprowy Wierch; in summer, join a walking tour of Krakow's Rynek Główny square or climb to Morskie Oko lake for jaw-dropping mountain views.
