Warsaw is the proud capital of Poland and, with over 1.7 million inhabitants, the country's largest city. The Second World War was disastrous for Warsaw. The city was in ruins and the Nazi regime destroyed the Jewish Ghetto. But then the reconstruction began. The old centre was restored and modern buildings were also erected. The Old Town has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The 'Miracle of Warsaw' has come full circle.
Places to visit in Warsaw
The Royal Castle is a logical starting point for a tour of the city. After it was bombed in 1944, it was rebuilt as a paragon of Baroque architecture. The old St. John's Cathedral was also severely damaged and later restored. Only one palace in Warsaw survived the war: the Wilanów Palace. Visit this palatial residence and admire 60 royal chambers in their original state. At the grand market square, , the stately façades are on display in all their glory. It is also where you'll find the Warsaw Historical Museum. A statue of Syrena Staromiejska, the city's patroness, stand tall in the centre of the market square.
Discover Warsaw
Walk along the Royal Way from the Old Town to the New Town. It's a 4 kilometre walk that will take you past numerous sights along the way.
