Welcome to
Warsaw!

---

Poland’s thriving capital has a lot to offer. Everywhere you look, the jumble of architectural styles, from Gothic to Communist-era concrete,  modern glass and steel reminds visitors of the city’s tumultuous yet fascinating history.  Warsaw is also a capital that looks to the future, with a hip bar and restaurant scene and endless events, from classical concerts that pay homage to Poland’s very own Chopin, to internationally renowned music festivals. With stunning parks and open spaces, not to mention the Royal Łazienki Park – a stone’s throw from the Regent Warsaw – interesting museums and royal palaces, this affordable city has something for everybody.

Here are some of  Warsaw’s highlights…

The Old Town and Royal Castle

Visit the Old Town and marvel at the historic 17th and 18thcentury tenement houses and streets, which were meticulously reconstructed after World War Two. In 1980, the Old Town was also added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Royal Castle, dating back to 1619, is now a fascinating museum and venue for official visits and international meetings.

Royal Łazienki Park

Established in the 18th century by King Stanisław August Poniatowski, this park and palace complex features numerous classical-style monuments and hosts many cultural, scientific, entertainment and sports events. In summer, special concerts are organised here next to the Frederic Chopin monument. It is also  Varsovians’ favorite place for a stroll!

Copernicus Science Center

Opened in 2005 to promote modern science, it is the biggest science centre in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. One of its major attractions is ‘Copernicus’ Sky’, a planetarium featuring spectacular 3D shows.

Warsaw Uprising Museum

The Warsaw Uprising Museum was opened in 2004 on the 60th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, which broke out on 1 August, 1944. It is the Varsovians’ tribute to the insurgents who fought against German troops occupying Poland. The Museum also organises science and research activities and is home to an archive of records on the Uprising.
