You will hear the war sirens, you will have a look in Varsovians' eyes who fought in nacked hands, you will see exiles. You will see kids who were uprising soldiers. You will see weapon, letters, photographs, movies.
You will see graves on which we built city. And…

The monument over the heroes of the Warsaw Uprising is a remarkable statue. It is pretty big and portrays huge figures of soldiers fighting or escaping attack. It stands in front of the military cathedral and is one of the most important symbols of Warsaw.
Many consider this monument to be contro…

All I can say is: if you want to visit a park in Warsaw, visit Lazinski. We've payed way to much for the Wilanow gardens, which were sad, while this place is ten times bigger, nicer and it's for free.
There are several entrances to the park, most of them have bus stops in front. The park is most …

The University Library was a brilliant experience. Situated close to the canal behind both the Cultural Palace and the Royal Castle, it provided with a great view. It is a green building in all meanings. The steel construction which has cathedral-like proportions is painted green but the green does …

When people think of beautiful cities in Poland, Krakow and Gdansk usually come to mind before Warsaw. Yet the historic centre of Warsaw is really stunning too.
The old town of Warsaw isn't really old though. It was all rebuilt after WWII. If I hadn't know, and hadn't seen the pictures of Warsaw…

The Saint Kasimir church is a little of the very center of the old town, actually just inside the new part of Warsaw, but sure worth a visit. You can't enter unless you made an appointment, but the square on which the building is standing, and the architecture itself is very nice.
This Roman Cat…

The Saint Johns Cathedral is the oldest church in Warsaw, and its history dates back until the start of the 14th century. At first this was a small building that wasn't so important, but in 1798 it became a cathedral. Many kings were crowned here and many famous Poles were buried in this building.

In my opinion, the Holy Cross is one of the nicer churches of Warsaw. Build in the late 17th century, to replace an old and small wooden chapel, this Roman Catholic building is probably most famous because the hearth of Chopin is kept here.
As almost every building in Warsaw this church was blown…

On the main square of the old town you will not only find lovely terraces, nice restaurants and beautiful buildings. Here stands as well one of the Syrenka's or mermaid statues of Warsaw.
This mermaid with sword is the symbol on the armory shield of the capital of Poland and therefor a famous and…

The Palace in Wilanów is one of very few places of interest in Warsaw that wasn’t damaged during the Second World War. Its location, Wilanów, is slightly off the beaten track and remained almost intact. Last Saturday we decided to head for the Palace and check out this baroque royal residence w…

The old city walls and barbakan gate used to defend the old Warsaw from enemies. It took two centuries to finish these walls, towers and gates. The oldest one, Barbakane, is still standing and was build around 1550. Inside there is a chapel. The bridge at barbakane unites the old and new part of War…

This is one of Warsaws oldest buildings, in Gothic architecture, that stands beside the main road. It is also known as the St. Mary's Church.
As the nuns still live and pray here this church and monastry mostly can't be visited, though it has a remarkable architecture that is indeed quite uncommon …

MUZEUM PLAKATU - Poster Museum. This museum opened in 1968 and was the world's first poster museum. It is worth a visit which can be combined with visiting the Wilanów Palace and Gardens. If you're only going to this museum and don't intend on visiting Wilanów Palace as well, it is a good idea to …

The Saxon garden, or Ogrod Saski in Polish, is a public garden in the center of the city. It had an important history, as it has been surrounded by many palaces and important buildings. Yet when it opened to the public in 1727, it was one of the first publicly accessible gardens in the world. Origin…
