Poland is a large country, so having a car to explore it makes a lot of sense. Perhaps you're looking for the ultimate outdoor experience?

It's located near Krakow and features several extraordinary underground caverns.

Knowing the Driving Rules in Poland

Poland drives on the right, but there are also other things that visitors should be aware of. Drivers must always give way to buses as they leave bus stops, and your car must be equipped with a warning triangle, fire extinguisher, and a first-aid kit at all times. Be careful when sounding your horn since it's prohibited in many areas. Filling stations are fairly easy to find, but many stations close at 7 pm. Between the hours of 11 pm and 5 am, the usual speed limit of 60 km/h for most towns is reduced to just 50 km/h. In addition, you may need to drive under 20 km/h throughout residential areas.
