Warsaw, Poland's Capital

 Why Warczawa?

Warsaw Highlights

Below is a short list of the popular sites that we recommend you visit while in Warsaw: 

· Warsaw's Old Town

The Old Town encapsulates the city's indomitable spirit and stormy history. This historic town centre was re-created from almost nothing after being razed by the Nazis. 

This route wends its way through quaint narrow streets to the beautifully restored market square.
The Old Town occupies a relatively small area that can be toured in less than an hour. You would need more than that if you want to explore the Royal Castle with its lavish interiors and interesting collections of paintings   

· West Bank of the Vistula 

In summer the west bank of the river throngs with strollers, cyclists and patrons of the open-air waterfront bars 

· Copernicus Science Centre 

Offering a wealth of hand-on experiments, this is one of the most spectacular children's play centers ever conceived

· Palace of Culture and Sciences

A colossal monument to the ideological certainties of the Stalinist period, this imposing monolith is still the defining feature of downtown Warsaw's skyline

· Łazienki Park

The most elegant of Poland's urban parks, crisscrossed with oak-lined promenades 

· Neon Museum

The soft glow of neon is very much a Polish visual trademark; this unique collection of neon signs is a tribute to its enduring allure 

· POLIN Museum of the History of the Polish Jews

Epic in scale, and a beautiful piece of architecture to boot.

The history of the Jews in Poland dates back at least 1,000 years. 
For centuries, Poland was home to the largest and most significant Ashkenazi Jewish community in the world.
