Wonderful Warsaw
Standing on the River Vistula, Warsaw is the capital and largest city of Poland. Warsaw offers so many things to do and see and has everything you want when you’re going on a city break; incredible landmarks; beautiful old town streets and squares; lively parks and gardens; cool museums; hearty local food; vibrant nightlife.
The Old Town is the oldest part of Warsaw — the King’s Castle and its surrounding walls were built in the 13th century. Most of the area was destroyed by the Nazis during World War II but was meticulously rebuilt — a project that was finally completed in the 1980s and earned a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Today it is a lively place full of galleries, cafés and restaurants.
With stunning modern buildings alongside pre-war architecture, there’s no denying that Warsaw is one good-looking (and interesting) city. While some landmarks were reconstructed like the Old Town and Royal Castle, you can also find historic buildings that had survived the war like the Wilanow Palace. Other important landmarks like the Palace of Culture and Science were built after the war and they are breathtaking beauties that you wouldn’t want to miss.
Church of St. Martin (Kościół św. Marcina), Old Town Market Square (Rynek Starego Miasta), Royal Łazienki Park, Royal Route, Palace of Culture and Science, Warsaw Uprising Museum, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Warsaw Uprising Monument, Copernicus Science Centre are some of the must do’s in Warsaw. Krakow & Auschwitz are places to see.
