Warsaw |
|
|
Warsaw is the
sprawling capital of Poland. Its widely varied architecture reflects
the city's long, turbulent history, from Gothic churches and
neoclassical palaces to Soviet-era blocks and modern skyscrapers.
The city's Old Town was restored after heavy damage during WWII. Its
heart is Market Square, with pastel buildings and open-air cafes.
The Monument of the Warsaw Mermaid at its center is the city’s
symbol.
The Barbican and
defensive-wall fragments are remnants of Warsaw’s medieval
fortifications. The Royal Route runs from the vast, rebuilt Royal
Castle, where concerts are held, past churches and neoclassical
palaces to lavish 17th-century Wilanów Palace, housing royal
memorabilia. The Fryderyk Chopin Museum memorializes the famed
composer, a Warsaw native. The high-tech POLIN Museum of the History
of Polish Jews and the Warsaw Uprising Museum trace the city’s
tragic wartime experience. As Poland’s cultural hub, Warsaw has a
thriving nightlife and music scene, both classical and underground.

Things to do |
|
|
|
The Old Town
is a bustling tourism hub, with cobblestone alleys and medieval
buildings reconstructed after WWII. At its heart is Rynek Starego Miasta,
a busy square lined with burgher houses and upscale Polish eateries.
Nearby, St. John's Archcathedral dates back to the 14th century and
hosts summer concerts. The area is also home to the restored apartments
and manicured gardens of the Royal Castle. |

|
|
The Royal Castle
is a castle residency that formerly served throughout the centuries as
the official residence of the Polish monarchs. It is located in the
Castle Square, at the entrance to the Warsaw Old Town. |
|
|
|
Łazienki Park
is the largest park in Warsaw, Poland, occupying 76 hectares of the city
center. The park-and-palace complex lies in Warsaw's central district on
Ujazdów Avenue, which is part of the "Royal Route" linking the Royal
Castle with Wilanów Palace to the south. |
|
|
|
Wilanów Palace
or Wilanowski Palace is a royal palace located in the Wilanów district,
Warsaw. Wilanów Palace survived Poland's partitions and both World Wars,
and so serves as a reminder of the culture of the Polish state as it was
before the misfortunes of the 18th century. |
