Warsaw
The capital and largest city of Poland, which stands on the Vistula River, was once known as ‘the Paris of the East’. A walk along the lively Nowy Świat street reveals why. The city was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War, today, however, the rebuilt modern Warsaw proudly shows its double face – the old exists side by side with the new, the traditional with the fashionable, the rich with the poor. The city is at its liveliest in the summer when the green riverside parks are full of people and pleasant bars feature live music, the fun lasting well into the night.

The Invincible City
Warsaw lies at the crossroads between Western and Eastern Europe. Various influences have shaped it into an open and creative city, full of museums and galleries, with a vibrant cultural life, festivals, and art events. Start exploring the UNESCO-listed old town, which will delight you with its colourful houses and narrow streets. The heart of the Old Town, protected by the Mermaid of Warsaw, is the Old Town Market Place with restaurants and cafés. Visit the Royal Castle, which was once the royal residence, but today hosts the museum with royal rooms and many works of art on display.
The Vistula River flows through Warsaw, and green areas cover a quarter of the city. The parks offer a pleasant break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Łazienki Park houses an 18th-century summer palace in the middle of its lake, a botanical garden, and an amphitheatre with free performances and Chopin concerts during summer months. Warsaw is the city where music carries a special meaning. The locals are very proud that the famous Frédéric Chopin was born and raised here and has his own museum in the city. The city hosts many cultural events every month with many well-known international artists.
