Warsaw
The Royal Baths Park
This is the largest park in Warsaw, and it’s absolutely stunning! It’s got the most beautiful architecture and nature, and it’s a really special place. It’s home to the Palace on the Isle, which was the former summer residence of King Stanisław August Poniatowski. It’s a really beautiful building, and it’s surrounded by picturesque ponds and old trees, which make it a really peaceful place to visit. As you wander through the park, you’ll encounter the enchanting Theatre on the Island, the charming White House, the historic Orangery, and the Frederic Chopin Monument, where you can enjoy beautiful piano concerts during the summer months. The park is also home to peacocks and squirrels, adding to its unique charm and making it a place you’ll want to return to again and again. https://www.lazienki-krolewskie.pl/pl
The Old Town and Royal Castle
Warsaw’s Old Town is a place like no other. It’s been listed by UNESCO for being one of the most beautiful places in the capital, and it’s easy to see why. After World War II, it was lovingly rebuilt, so that today we can enjoy its rich history.Castle Square with the Column of Sigismund III Vasa is a great place to start your sightseeing, and you can’t miss the Royal Castle. The Royal Castle, where Polish rulers used to live, is another must-see. You can wander through the narrow streets of the Old Town, take in the Old Town Square, admire the colourful townhouses and relax in one of the many cafes. https://www.zamek-krolewski.pl/
The Warsaw Rising Museum
This is one of the most important museums in Poland dedicated to the history of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. The interactive exhibition allows you to feel the atmosphere of those days – you can see the reconstructed sewers of the Uprising, listen to the memories of the participants of the Uprising and watch archive photos and films. The centrepiece of the museum is the steel monolith in which ‘the symbolic heart of the city beats’. There is also a replica of the Liberator B-24 aircraft that dropped supplies to the rebels. It is an exciting place to visit and a good way to understand Warsaw’s history. https://www.1944.pl/historia.html
The Palace of Culture and Science
The tallest building in Warsaw and one of the city’s most recognisable symbols. Built in the 1950s as a ‘gift from the Soviet people to Poland’, it has caused controversy over the years, but is now an important landmark on the map of the capital. You can go up to the observation deck on the 30th floor for a panoramic view of the whole of Warsaw. The building houses many cultural institutions such as the Drama Theatre, the Museum of Evolution, cinemas and concert halls. In the evening, the palace is beautifully lit up and its illumination changes according to the occasion. https://pkin.pl/
The Vistula Boulevards
This is one of the most popular places to stroll and relax in Warsaw. Situated along the banks of the Vistula River, the boulevards offer modern promenades, cycle paths, city beaches and many open-air pubs. Concerts, film screenings and sporting events are held here in the summer. Take a stroll from the Świętokrzyski Bridge towards the Copernicus Science Centre and then on to the Poniatówka beach for a beautiful view of the Warsaw skyline. In the evening, the boulevards come alive and the bridges and surrounding buildings are spectacularly illuminated. https://zzw.waw.pl/nasze-dzialania/dzielnica-wisla/bulwary-wislane/
