National Geographic Traveler readers and editorial staff have selected the new Wonders of Poland 2025 – places that delight, surprise, and inspire travel. This year’s plebiscite has once again proven how much Poles love exploring Poland. Discover 16 unique places, one from each voivodeship, and set off with a map of Wonders of Poland!

In this year’s edition 48 nominated locations – from spectacular natural spaces, through trails and towns, to extraordinary cultural and historical sites – were completed nearly 200 thousand votes. Such great commitment shows that Poles are looking for authenticity and want to support what is local.

–“We saw record-breaking interest right from the voting stage: both the number of votes cast and the intensity of discussion in local and national media exceeded our expectations. We saw communities across Poland mobilize to promote places they love and consider their “little wonders.” We believe that the winning (and nominated) places receive an additional impetus to develop and promote their local treasures. But equally important is the fact that thousands of people from outside the regions became interested in these places—that travel plans, discussions, and ideas for further exploration of Poland emerged.” – says Łukasz Załuski, editor-in-chief of National Geographic Polska.

“Finally, I’d like to thank you – especially you, the readers and voters – for making Wonders of Poland 2025 a success that goes beyond the competition. It’s thanks to your passion, votes, and enthusiasm that these places are becoming better known, more appreciated, and more frequently visited,” he added.

The selected Wonders of Poland 2025 are a perfect excuse to explore the country’s near and far – both during weekend getaways and longer journeys. Each of the featured destinations tells its own story and demonstrates just how diverse, picturesque, and still undiscovered Poland is.

“Huge congratulations to all this year’s winners! This poll proves to me that every region of Poland holds something unique – something that can delight, surprise, and inspire us to travel further. The wonders of Poland show that you don’t have to travel far to experience extraordinary emotions and encounter true beauty,” says Michał Cessanis, managing editor of National Geographic Traveler and ambassador for the poll.

The Wonders of Poland 2025 plebiscite is organized by the editorial team of National Geographic Traveler. Each attraction receives the title “Wonder of Poland 2025,” which can be used to promote the region and build its tourism brand.
