The most polpular souvenirs in Poland

This is one of the most polpular souvenirs in Poland. It is a traditional, wooden stick. You can buy it in Zakopane in the Polish Mountains - `Tatry`. It is a good present for all members of the family. I really recommend it to everyone.

Ciupaga

Model of Wawel Castle

It is a stone figure. Wawel is an architectural complex erected over many centuries atop a limestone outcrop on the left bank of the Vistula River in Kraków. It is a popular place in Poland at an altitude of 228 metres above the sea level. It is a place of great significance to the Polish people. The Royal Castle with an armoury and the Cathedral is situated on a hill. Polish Royalty and many distinguished Poles are buried in the Wawel Cathedral. Royal coronations took place there as well.

`Lajkonik`The Lajkonik is one of the unofficial symbols of the city of Kraków in Poland. It is represented as a bearded man resembling a Tatar in a characteristic pointed hat, dressed in Mongol attire, with a wooden horse around his waist. It is the subject of the Lajkonik Festival that takes place each year on the first Thursday after the religious holiday of Corpus Christi.
