Major Polish cities are linked via LOT's domestic air service via ATR or B737 equipment. Train and bus fares from some European destinations can be as expensive as discounted air fares, unless you have some kind of transport pass. Road connections with Poland are good and getting better, but there are still border delays, especially when crossing from other eastern European countries. Many border crossings to Germany and the Czech Republic have been closed since terrible floods in July 1997 damaged bridges. There are sea connections from the UK and Scandinavia to Gdansk, Gdynia and Swinoujscie.
Most services have car-freighting facilities.
The tourist season runs roughly from May to September, peaking in July and August. At this time the Baltic beaches are taken over by swarms of humanity, resorts and spas are invaded by tourists, Masurian lakes are crowded with thousands of sailboats, and mountains can hardly be seen for walkers. These are pleasantly warm periods and there are plenty of cultural activities going on. During winter it's cold, but its still a good time for visiting Poland's cities.
