The network of Polish motorways is continually being enlarged and improved and new motorways, once completed, will allow you to get from the Baltic seaside to the Tatry Mountains in about 7 hours. Or you can choose to go to the beautiful Mazury lakes district, which is only 3 hours driving distance from Warsaw. Travelling by train or car gives you a chance to admire the untouched nature, magnificent diverse Polish landscapes and the monuments of Polish culture in its historic towns.
