Car rental in Poland
A driver must be at least 21 years old to rent a car in Poland. However, the age requirements may be different if you rent a car of a higher class. You must present your driving license, which must have been issued at least a year ago. The maximum driver's age is 70 years. This rule applies only to some groups of machines. So, in some cases, car rental in Poland may be available for drivers of a more respectable age. By the way, an additional fee for age can be set for drivers under 25 years old..
Features of Polish roads
In terms of speed, Poland is not much different from other European countries. You should move around cities without exceeding 50 km / h, but outside the city you can go at a speed of 90 to 120 km / h. On motorways it is allowed «to fly» at a speed of 140 km / h.
In the country, even during daylight hours, you should drive with the dipped headlights on. It is imperative to give way to those buses that leave the stops. In Poland, special vigilance should be exercised on the roads: there are many unregulated level crossings..
Gas stations on motorways are approximately 35 kilometers apart. Their working hours are from 6.00 to 22.00.
Where to go
The capital of Poland, Warsaw, is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Warsaw Old Town is visited by many tourists. After the Second World War, Poles restored the old houses of Warsaw, the moat and the Barbican watchtower with special care and reverence. Palace Square will greet you with Sigismund's Column. Here you will see the Royal Castle with a clock tower and the nobility gate.
No less interesting is Krakow, called «Cradle of the Commonwealth». This is the former capital of Poland, but it has not lost its charm over the years, only multiplying its historical treasures. The old part of Krakow, surrounded by parks, has become the location of several hundred interesting monuments, and the local Old Town is included in the UNESCO list, as well as the Old Town of Warsaw. The main square of Krakow is the Market, where the old shopping arcade Sukiennice is still preserved. True, on their upper floors there is now an art gallery belonging to the National Museum of Krakow..
The Wawel Fortress Hill is visible on the banks of the Vistula. These are the pointed towers of Sandomierz, Villainous, and Senatorskaya. There is also the pompous Royal Castle, where the Shcherbets coronation sword is kept, as well as a unique collection of medieval tapestries. Here you can also visit the Cathedral of Saints Stanislav and Wenceslas. Next to it is a chapel that has the famous 11 ton bell «Zygmunt».
