There are a few sub £10pp return flights from Newcastle to Poland (Wroclaw) which I've used to put to together this cheap city break 8-11th December.
Whilst Wroclaw may not be your first choice in Poland, it does have some good Christmas markets and it allows you to be able to travel cheaply, for example the bus to Krakow is under £2pp so you could easily head over to Krakow for the day or turn this into a twin centre break and spend a night there (a bargain when you consider return flights to Krakow from Newcastle are over £100). Similarly Warsaw is just as cheap.
Wroclaw does have its attractions too, from the old town and Centennial Hall. There is also some Xmas markets in the Rynek square area too. At this price I think it's a bargain of a break.
Breakdown
3 nights in the Boutique Hotel £84 book at amoma.com
2 return flights book at Ryanair £19.96
Total £103.99/£51.99
*If you go on Amoma on Facebook you may be able to get a 10% code which could bring this price down to around £48pp*

Been there a while back, albeit in the summer.
Wroclaw is a lovely little city with the standard Eastern European squares, churches, rivers etc.
The food and drinks are reasonably priced and although it will be cold this time of year, u think it's well worth the price in this deal.

Right Wroclaw is lovely but you are wrong about Eastern standard. Thats absolutly West European standard there

Yes, Wroclaw is my favourite inland Polish city (the Baltic coast has some fantastic places though).
Would just add that Wroclaw also has a fantastic (and cheap) zoo with a ginormous new aquarium building with huge under water tunnel). Also, there's a lot of former pre-war architecture (if you like that sort of thing) including the 2nd 1936 Olympic stadium.
If you can catch a footie match at the Wroclaw stadium then you're in for a treat (it was a new builkd for the Euros a couple of years back).

Hi,
To Poznan you can fly from London Stanstead via Ryanair or from London Luton via Wizzair. Both cities ie Wroclaw and Poznan are worth visiting as well as other places in Poland
PANORAMA OF THE BATTLE OF RACŁAWICE is must see in Wroclaw, in Poznan you can't miss The Palm House. Have fun :smiley:

Hi,
If this is such a great love story :wink: than I will give another piece of advice :smiley:
From Newcastle the cheapest way is to travel via Dublin (still not that cheap). Unless you don't have to travel from Newcastle, you may try as well departure from Liverpool (direct flight with Ryanair) and the cheapest flight would be from Birmingham, but I'm aware it can be too far... However there is Megabus and some trains connection available...
Ps. From Poznan to Sroda you have a local train (35min). If you'd need further help feel free to ask :smiley:
I'm sure you will have a great time :smiley:

There is a bus under £2 to Poznan or the train around £7.

4 Dec 162#19
Amazing that in Europe you can travel 110 miles on public transport for that sort of money. Roughly the same distance as Birmingham to London.
Wroclaw is certainly worth a weekend visit - great restaurants and bars and all quite inexpensive.
Anyway travel now as after Brexit you may need to queue and pay for a visa at the Polish consulate (only 3 of them in the UK). Sterling will be worth roughly the same as Polish zloty too, so enjoy while you can...

I flew to Berlin and got the Berlin-Warsaw express train.
Trains are cheap and reliable in Poland, Poznań is central so I imagine if you have local flights to Poland you'll be able to get to Poznań quite easily.

The nearest airports that fly direct to Poznan is Doncaster / Sheffield (DSA) or Edinburgh and the airline is Wizzair.
Alternatively, for this flight you can take the train from Wroclaw, it's 2 hours.

Wroclaw is pretty close to the Sudety mountains and they were snowed up unusually early this year, it all probably melted by now, but you might get lucky again and most slopes have artificial snow, as long as it gets below zero at night.
Sniezka mountain is pretty nice and you cna get a cable car from the Czech side: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sniezka+poland

Drink some Tyskie and throw the empties everywhere. I'd say to do it with Newcastle Broon Ale but doubt you'd find any.
BenderRodriguez to anewman
5 Dec 161#34
Going to Poland to drink Tyskie is like coming all the way to Scotland for a pint of Tennent's.
It's a pi*s water mass-produced by SABMiller or whichever corporation owns them these days. Microbreweries are booming in Poland now and any decent pub should have a dozen or so to choose from. Or sod it and go straight for vodka. :smiley:

That's why one should never judge whole nation by its fraction ie. Poles by noisy Polish builders swearing in every single sentence or Britons by British attending hen/stag parties getting drunk even before boarding the plane, so not sure whether party took place in Cracow/Bratislava/ Prague or elsewhere... In both nations there are very well educated, smart, polite, hardworking people with manners and rude fools who will never know how to behave no matter where they are...

Raw claw is lovely, best thing was hearing O'Leary in the press release pronounce it exactly like that ;-)
Hard to believe no one told him how to say it!!
Been to Gdansk, Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, Wroclaw and many places other smaller places like Zakopane, all good, more people need to open their minds. Having said that, so many people in UK fail to see how much we have right here to see, you don't need to go half way round the world.
