I have just a couple days after a cruise and flying out of Berlin so would like to visit a typical small town in Western Poland. I enjoy anything scenic or historic, and would be happy just relaxing, taking walks, and sampling the food. Grandma was born in Poland so I enjoyed Polish food growing up. I will be traveling by rail. Ideas??

Visit Kostrzyn nad Odra, it's an hour from Berlin on the train and is a nice example of history. There's a lot to see there, and you can easily spend a day there.

That was my first thought as it's a lovely little town but unfortunately it's a 5 hour train trip from Berlin. I also thought of Wrocław as although it's a city the centre is quite compact, but that is still a 4 hour trip away.

I don't know if it's nice, but Zbąszynek is on the Berlin to Poznan train line (not sure how many trains stop there now)
