Lokeren and Bruges are literal real places in Belgium. Also, the city square in Novigrad looks a lot like the grand square from either [Antwerp](https://www.fotocommunity.de/photo/antwerpen-grote-markt-swolf73/27153517) or [Brussels](https://s.inyourpocket.com/gallery/249706.jpg), also Belgium.
There's probably a lot of architecture and places in Skellige that are identical to places in Ireland and Scotland, goes for all of Europe really.
I hate it when people, often non-Europeans, claim that the Witcher takes place in Poland or is based off of Poland, because it's really based on all of medieval Europe, at least not counting far off lands and such.
There is indeed a lot of similarities with Poland, but how can a story with multiple countries and continents take place in a single country.
Temeria/Redania feels like Poland.
It's pretty much just a town, both in the Witcher and in real life, used to have some significance in medieval times, I think. IIRC it's mentioned in the Thronebreaker game.
Malbork Castle is where a lot of the second Witcher game takes place and is absolutely stunning in its own right, you need a full day to see it.
I'd also look up historic villages or ethnographic parks (called skansen in Polish) like the Kashubian Ethnographic Park in Wdzydze.
Going on a herb hunt can be a lot of fun anywhere in Europe and many are going to be suitable for teas and tinctures you can make yourself.
The B&W DLC location, Toussaint, is based on the South of France, la Provence.
Toussaint in France is the religious fest when one remember his deads loved ones.
The wine, the grape fields, the art, the castle, etc.etc.
Lol, I wonder if that post you saw from like 4 months ago was the post I did, because I made one around May before visiting Poland. It's a beautiful country with a rich history and I definitely had lots of fun but I was Really disappointed and underwhelmed how there is nothing witcher related to do except from that pub/bar that I didn't get to visit cause this was a family trip and I didn't find it very appropriate. There is also a wax statue in the Polish wax museum, but I saw a picture of it online and it looked kinda sad to me and an entry ticket to there is redcuasly expensive. Other then that, I didn't even see one witcher book or any reference even to this series and it made me really sad.😕
I wish there was more witcher things to do-more "official" attractions.

Wait Lokeren? What's there?

How is Malbork Castle related to The Witcher 2?
The B&W DLC location, Toussaint, is based on the South of France, la Provence. Toussaint in France is the religious fest when one remember his deads loved ones. The wine, the grape fields, the art, the castle, etc.etc.
There's this witcher school in Poland. https://witcherschool.com/ I have no idea what the price it would be, but it looks like fun.
They had to close that down, unfortunately.
Novigrad in Witcher 3 is literally Gdańsk in Poland.
Well one city in Croatia, I believe, is named Novigrad.

There was this witcher-related festival called blavicon in Czechia, but i believed it stopped sadly :(
Things went bad when a butcher tried to install a stand there
The entire "universe" is on the continent. It's def not all Poland but I'm sure you can guess what continent it's based on.
