Poland officially existed as a state more than a 1000 years ago, with the end of the 16th century being considered by many historians to be it’s golden age. In 1791, the Polish constitution was formed, and was the second modern style constitution to be developed after the US. Poland has gone through many turbulent times since then, but is on the rise again as it tries to improve everything within. Polish people are extremely friendly, and the country is certainly worth the visit.
