Most will probably be nice, but Poland was firmly part of the swing rightward. In fact they Slovenia and Austria are now considered a triumvirate of European rw states who are part of NATO, but also disdain them as well. It's been 2 years and from what I hear the rightward push is just growing stronger. I'm sure you will see lots of beauty and cultural sights, and hope you really enjoy them. Just thought I'd warn about the disturbing undercurrent we saw and felt then in that region.
