If you're on the lookout for experiences that won't wreak havoc on the budget, round up the family and head to Greater Poland 's many outdoor cultural attractions such as gardens. History enthusiasts won't want to miss the region's castles, historic palaces and fortresses.

If your idea of a great break is challenging your abilities in wild places, then sign up for one of the many hiking and mountain biking excursions Greater Poland has to offer. Specialty tours are a great way to discover the special places. Join one of the city walking tours, guided nature walks and cycling tours.

Get to the core of the Greater Poland (region) food culture by visiting the regional cafés. Why not try kopytka (potato dumplings) or kiszczonka (black pudding soup)? Both meals are a common fare in this region. For the final course, you should try rogale świętomarcińskie (croissants filled with poppy seeds, nuts and raisins).

As your adventures here draw to a close, spend your last zloties on last-minute keepsakes and bid a fond Narazie (farewell) to the new friends you've made and the places you've come to love.
