Thanks. Been to and lived in Germany for a few years. It was nice when I was there over 25 years ago.

You might want to visit Poznań too, it is 3.5 hours by train from Warsaw. Toruń is great too.

In the east Lublin is nice and Kazimierz Dolny near Lublin is a beautiful small town:

Enroute to Toruń you can visit for example Żnin-Wenecja, Kruszwica, Biskupin, Inowrocław:

It is best to visit Biskupin by the end of September, during archaeological festival:

Cracow is a nice place to visit, I've heard

Everybody knows about Cracow, but above I told you about some less known yet also cool attractions.

Biskupin is great to visit during archeological festival, Żnin has a museum of old trains, Inowrocław has:

And all of these attractions can be visited when you go from Warsaw to Toruń (on UNESCO Heritage list).

If you like mountains, you don't have to go all the way to the south, as these are closer:

This area has many stone castles (in northern regions, you will find only brick castles):

Castles of Mazovian Dukes - Ciechanów, Płock, Warsaw, Czersk, etc. - are all made of brick, similar to Lithuanian and Teutonic castles:

Płock is a very old town, it was the main town of Masovia before Warsaw became significant:

Modlin Fortress was a site of a major battle in September 1939 and it surrendered later than Warsaw:
