Our autumn escape from Riga to Warsaw was easy, affordable and full of character. From the colour coded airport markings to the wonderful charm of the Old Town, the city welcomed us despite the grey skies.

Our spring escape to Kraków began with mild skies, comforting Polish food and long walks through the old town.
