Planning a trip can be more than just deciding on the next places to visit – for many, it is also a way to fulfill dreams and challenges. Creating a so-called bucket list, which is a list of travel goals we want to achieve within a specific time frame, is becoming increasingly popular.



Whether we are passionate about castles, lakes, mountains, or travel literature, such a list is a way to give travel an interesting direction and experience the beauty of the Polish landscape. Especially since the new year and the period of New Year's resolutions are approaching – it's the perfect time to create such a list!



What is a bucket list and why is it worth creating one?

A bucket list is a list of inspirations we would like to fulfill within our passions and interests in a given time. It can include places, events, and activities that are important to us and that help us grow. On social media, we often see people creating bucket lists for the year or challenges like visiting 40 countries by the age of 40.

Creating such a list is a great way to discover new places and spend time actively, combining travel with moments of relaxation. How to create one? Above all, follow your interests without looking at current trends. A good idea might be to create a bucket list together with friends – you can then set common travel goals. After all, there is strength in numbers!



Bucket list – ideas and inspirations for travel challenges

If you lack ideas for a travel bucket list, here are some inspirations for various themed lists that will make traveling around Poland an inspiring adventure.

Castles in Poland – Poland is full of historic castles and palaces that hold hundreds of years of history. By creating a list of castles to visit, you can get to know the rich past of our country.

Lakes in Poland – For nature lovers, visiting the largest and most beautiful lakes in Poland can be an interesting goal. It is worth including the Masurian lakes, such as Śniardwy and Mamry, as well as more intimate lakes in the vicinity. Each has its unique atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and connecting with nature.

National and landscape parks – Poland has 23 national parks and many landscape parks that impress with their variety of plants and animals. Why not set a goal to visit several of them? Bory Tucholskie National Park, Pieniny National Park, or even Bolimowski Landscape Park are just some of the places worth discovering. Each park offers unique landscapes and is an excellent place for relaxation in nature.

Polish Mountain Crown – The Polish Mountain Crown includes the 28 highest peaks in all Polish mountain ranges. Climbing them is a challenge that combines physical activity with travel passion. Each peak offers unforgettable experiences and views!

Polish lighthouses – The lighthouses along the Polish coast are monuments that combine navigational function with the charm of seaside landscapes. Poland has 13 such lighthouses, each another point on the travel map full of history and picturesque views. Walking from one lighthouse to another is a great way to get to know the Polish Baltic coast.



Bucket list – local travel challenges

You don’t have to travel hundreds of kilometers to discover new places, especially if you live near an area you haven’t yet fully explored. For example, you can set off on a trip to 10 unknown places in the Mazovia region!

Mazovia hides many unexpected attractions worth seeing. Bolimowski Landscape Park, Arkadia in Nieborów, and picturesque palaces in the region are just some proposals for day trips. You can also set a goal to visit nearby towns like Łowicz, Żyrardów, or Skierniewice – small towns for some, but places with unique history for others.

If you are looking for inspiration, the bucket list doesn’t have to include only places – it can also relate to literature! It’s worth setting a challenge to read books about travels and exploration that encourage further discoveries. Classics such as John Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley" or Bruce Chatwin's "In Patagonia" will take you to the farthest corners of the world. Each book can be complemented by a mini-trip inspired by its content.
