What to see in Warsaw in 2 days
Poland’s capital city has preserved those city walls, palaces and mansions remaining after a dark period in its history. In the fabric of its buildings, you can still see evidence of a war that almost destroyed Warsaw, but which the Poles rebuilt exactly as it had been before the conflict.
So its Old Town contains defensive buildings, castles that belonged to the country’s now defunct monarchy, and even a skyscraper given as a gift by Stalin during the period when it was under Russian control (which is now home to one of the city’s most exclusive clubs).
One of Warsaw’s most surprising features is the river Vistula promenade, with which the city has achieved a symbiosis based on parks and green areas where the city’s residents come to walk, exercise, and enjoy the lovely views.
Starówka, Warsaw's charming Old Town
The heart of the Polish capital is an enchanting place and, above all, strongly marked by history. It is clearly a must.
The Royal Castle, a symbol of Poland’s independence
This historic edifice, which dates back to the fourteenth century, was destroyed by the Nazis and later rebuilt with money donated by the public.
Auschwitz: a journey to Nazi hell
Auschwitz was the largest Nazi extermination camp and is a journey to the very worst of humanity, while acting as a reminder of what should never happen again.
The Wolf's Lair, the place that could have changed the history of Europe
The Wolf's Lair was the secret headquarters where Hitler led his army for much of World War II and where he could have died.
Warsaw Ghetto, the largest ghetto in Nazi-occupied Europe
Warsaw’s Jewish ghetto was destroyed by the German army at the end of World War II. Today, it’s remembered through museums, monuments, and the remains of buildings and the wall.
Typical Polish food: hearty, spiced, and meaty
Winters in Poland are extremely cold and these chilly temperatures have shaped a cuisine where soups, stews, and roasts feature heavily on restaurant menus and in traditional dishes.
