"The total area of Poland is 312,679 square km. Poland has 280,401 km of paved roads, 2,820 km of which are motorways and expressways. Polish capital Warsaw offers wonderful examples of architecture and about a quarter of the city is filled with parks and gardens." |
Poland (Polish: Polska) is a country located in central Europe.
The country borders Lithuania in the north, Slovakia/Czech Republic in the south and Germany to the west. The country also borders the Russian exclave Kaliningrad Oblast in the north.
The country firstly appeared in Euro Truck Simulator, being the easternmost country featured in that game. The adaptation was known for its extensive network of roads, despite having only its capital Warsaw featured.
In Euro Truck Simulator 2, Poland is featured in 2 stages, with the western quarter introduced in the base game, and the rest of the country added in the in Going East expansion.
Accessible Cities
Warszawa, the capital, is the only Polish city featured in the original Euro Truck Simulator.

Roads
There are three classes of numbered roads in Poland:
- Autostrada' (Prefix A) – Motorways, major roads
- Droga Ekspresowa (Prefix S) – Expressways, major roads
