Warsaw
A sandy land difficult to farm, this part of Poland might have remained obscure except for a twist of fate: Poland teamed up with its eastern neighbor Lithuania in the 16th century and needed a political meeting point closer to the Lithuanian capital in Vilnius. It found it in Warsaw, and from that time on this region became the centre of the country. For another sense of commerce, visit the market town of Pultusk, where trading has gone on for centuries.
