About Warsaw

Including tips for the best time to visit Warsaw

Warsaw's history is told though its architecture, from its restored Gothic structures to steel high-rises and everything in between. The Royal Castle served as the monarchy's residence for about 300 years before it was totally destroyed in WW2. Then, there's the Palace of Culture and Science, which dates back to the Soviet era, remains Poland's tallest structure, and now houses theaters, bars, museums, and an observation deck on the 30th floor.

The city's complex story unfolds even further in all of its great museums. The Warsaw Rising Museum covers the history of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 through interactive displays, photographs, and film archives.

Though there's history down every street, Warsaw is as modern as any other European capital, full of gorgeous green spaces like Lazienki Park, as well as a variety of Polish and fushion restaurants, cozy bars, and galleries in the beautifully restored old town. Take a guided tour of Old Praga to discover the city's besk kept secrets. Then, when night falls, head over to Mazowiecka Street to experience the best of Warsaw’s vibrant nightlife.

Warsaw is an interesting city to visit with many parks and museums worth seeing. It is not a beautiful city with a rather haphazard mi of old and new architecture. Not surprising with its history and destruction carried out during the 2nd World War. The buses and trams are plentiful and easy to use. I would recommend using the 'Milk Bars' which are plentiful and used by locals for the cheaper, nutritious meals.

We were very pleasantly surprised with Warsaw. Expected a bit of "gray, soviet". Turned out to be open, airy, great cycling routes and easy transport, very clean everywhere, great food, lively streets with restaurants and cafés, good shopping, lovely parks. We loved it.

Warsaw is one of the underrated destinations, a wonderful and vibrant city, lots of things to see, charming city center, lots of cafes, great and diverse food, absolutely beautiful and well kept parks (you must go to Lazienki!), inexpensive, fun. Can't recommend enough.
