If you are a football fan having tickets for Euro Cup 2012 matches and visiting Poland these days, this post will help you get some information on Poland. The country has many more things to offer visitors than just the football.
The weather in Poland becomes most enjoyable during this part of the year, and food and beer are available at an extremely reasonable price. The local people too give warm reception to the visitors. That is why the country is well capable of hosting the tournament.
Places to eat
If you want to enjoy Polish food at a fantastic price and location, visit the Pierrogeria restaurant in the old town. Here, you can taste some fabulous signature dishes of Poland like pierogi, enjoying a view of some of the best creations of socialist architecture in the city.
You will find more foreigner friendly cafeterias now, than in the past, but most of them still offer Polish-only menu.
The Mleczarnia Jerozolimska is famous for excellent food at a reasonable price and authentic service. Oberza Pod Czerwonym Wieprzem is another place, where staffs dressed like communist-era serve excellent traditional Polish food like sour rye soup and pork knuckle.
At Restauracja Polska Rozana, you will feel the ambience of a lovely country manor house setting where Polish food is served in a different and unique manner.
Things to see and do
Warsaw is undergoing a revival stage and choosing the city for hosting Euro 2012 was truly significant for the city.
You can spend a few pleasant hours learning about the city's traumatic history by visiting the excellent Warsaw Uprising Museum.
Places to stay in Poland
There has been a significant increase in the number and quality of hotel rooms since Poland won the right to host Euro 2012.
Most of the hotel rooms, even some of the hotels have been entirely booked out by the organisers of the event. Cost of accommodation here is almost at par with western Europe, though it has increased significantly during the match days due to nonavailability of rooms to meet the massive demand.
Apart from building the new hotel rooms in the recent times, temporary accommodation like the Carlsberg Fan Camps are available in the four host cities, in Poland. Again in Gdansk, there is Polferries ferry crossing between Poland and Sweden during the match days, which has now taken the form of a floating hotel.
Best bars
You can spend some relaxing time in a city centre bar before crossing the river Wisla by a comfortable transport or even on foot and reach the Warsaw stadium sitting on the east bank of the river.
A couple of popular places where the football fans can enjoy drinks are the Warsaw Tortilla Factory or the Bierhalle restaurant and bar, known to serve its own beers on-site.
The outdoor bar Lolek in Pole Mokotowskie Park has a Munich beer-hall atmosphere where you can also taste sausages and grilled food round the clock.
The Warsaw Fan Zone
The location, once dominated by the armies during the wartime is now a centre of attraction for the 100,000 football fans with giant screens, lots of food and drink along with live music.
These are some information that you may find beneficial during your Euro Cup trip to Poland.
