Political tensions?

I am considering a trip to Zakopane in July 2026. Is Poland at risk in the Russian/Ukrainian war?

6I've been to Poland twice in the last 18 months and will probably revisit this spring.

Poland is a NATO country. If attacked, all of NATO would respond. Think World War 3. The risk of this happening is very low.

Go and have a good time. It's a wonderful country.

(To my fellow posters...let's not turn this into a political argument. If we do, the webmaster will shut it down.)

There is a lot of scare mongering on various news sites, including about Britain going on war alert. However, people are still booking holidays irrespective of the doom and gloom. If you are nervous, perhaps book airline tickets, hotels etc which are refundable in the event of cancellation. We are planning on going back to Israel, late next year and will do the same re: refundable bookings, in case the travel advisory changes, to Do Not Travel. Otherwise, go ahead and have a wonderful trip, Zakopane is worth it.
