Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present the conclusions from analyzing the content of the selected sightseeing periodicals issued in Polish in the Second Republic of Poland, focusing the research on: “Orli Lot”, “Ziemia”. When choosing the particular titles, not only the subject and language category were decisive, but also durability of particular tittles and their addressees. Therefore, we paid attention to periodicals published regularly and targeted to various reader groups, e.g. to adolescents. The research used methods proper to press studies and also was supported by geocriticism tools in order to reconstruct educational ideas propagated in the aforementioned periodicals. The ideas were supposed to, including but not limited to, create permanent system of moral concepts for the Poles, constituting grounds of the “new” citizen construct.
