Free Time Options in Poland

Ample time is available on evenings and weekends to enjoy the numerous nearby natural and cultural attractions. Because your "home" in Siedlce - Reymontowka - is a regional cultural facility, special cultural events and music recitals are scheduled from fall through spring. During summer months, children who attend the English language camps organize talent shows and special events for the volunteers. Additionally, once a year, volunteers may be able to attend the International Folklore Festival in Siedlce as well as the annual May Festival at Reymontowka. Walks in the countryside are popular with volunteers, as are tennis games at the Reymontowka Manor House.

On the weekend, you and your teammates can visit the many attractions in Warsaw or Krakow, such as beautiful parks and city squares, Old Town, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Wawel castle, Auschwitz, and the oldest salt mine in Europe. Please note that if you intend to stay in Poland longer than 90 days, you must apply for a Schengen visa.

Will Global Volunteers arrange free time for me?
No. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, Global Volunteers is prohibited from making non-program-related arrangements for you. However, our team leaders and consultants can provide general guidance and advice, including a list of activities explored and enjoyed by previous teams.
