We will visit the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw and receive a country briefing led by a current U.S. Foreign Service Officer (FSO) to learn about historical and contemporary economic and political conditions in Poland and the current relationship between our two countries.
We take a walking tour of Kraków, known for its well-preserved medieval core and Jewish quarter. We will walk through the historic old town, the stately market square of Rynek Glówny, stroll through Planty Park, and see the remnants of the city’s medieval walls.
We will visit Warsaw, a city of rich history, resilience, reconstruction, and a deep appreciation for the arts. It is a city with a growing international atmosphere, and one that honors its past, especially its devastating WWII history of near-total destruction.
