In early October 2026, Travelist Magazine and the Polish Tourism Organization launched the inaugural Polish Castles and Palaces Ranking 2026. The initiative involves experts selecting nearly 60 historical sites across categories such as ‘Most Atmospheric Ruins’ and ‘Most Beautiful Castle’, with a public voting period running until October 14.

Following the ranking announcement, focus shifted toward promoting regional travel destinations across Poland. Recommendations for autumn excursions include historical sites in the Łódź Voivodeship, such as the Besiekier castle ruins and Nagórzyckie Caves, as well as the Gothic architecture of Reszel in the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship.
