Poles enjoy extended weekends every year. We plan trips for the May and June long weekends. This month, you can also count on a longer break, thanks to August 15th, a public holiday, falling on a Friday. This is when the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also known as the Feast of Our Lady of the Herbs, is celebrated. Many people use this time to travel and relax. We've found some interesting last-minute deals.

Last minute for the August holiday

Searching for cheap deals on short trips can be exhausting, especially if you don't have the patience. One good option is to take advantage of a trip largely organized by a travel agency. It turns out that Exim Tours offers trips to Rome, Italy, starting at 459 PLN per person. This is the price for a stay from August 15th to 17th. There are more similar options, but some will cost more, around 680 PLN, especially if you're looking for more comfort.

If you choose a more expensive option, you'll spend your time at the elegant TH Roma – Carpegna Palace hotel, which boasts 4.2-star reviews on Google. The price includes all accommodations and a buffet breakfast. You'll need to arrange your own transportation to the destination – from Poland, you can drive or fly. It's worth remembering that many carriers regularly offer discounts on flights to Italy.

If you're looking for deals with accommodation and flights, you can still find them on sites like fly.pl. There are also TOP Touristik trips to Rome from Poznań starting at PLN 1,342 per person.
