What to do in Warsaw?
Warszawa, Poland’s capital and largest city, is a dynamic metropolis that tells a powerful story of resilience, reinvention, and cultural depth. Leveled during World War II and meticulously rebuilt, Warsaw is a city where the scars of history meet the energy of progress, offering visitors a multifaceted experience of old and new.
At the heart of the city lies the Old Town (Stare Miasto), a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was painstakingly reconstructed to match its pre-war appearance. Walk through Castle Square, visit the Royal Castle, and admire colorful merchant houses along the Market Square, all surrounded by defensive walls and charming cobbled streets.
Modern Warsaw is a city of skyscrapers, green parks, and cultural landmarks. Łazienki Park, with its Palace on the Isle, peacocks, and sculptures, offers a tranquil escape. The POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews and the Warsaw Uprising Museum provide emotional and educational journeys into the city’s complex past.
In Praga, on the east side of the Vistula River, you’ll find a grittier, artistic vibe with street art, galleries, and retro bars. This district is becoming Warsaw’s creative hub, contrasting the business and political energy of the city center.
Food is central to the Warsaw experience. From Michelin-starred restaurants to cozy milk bars serving pierogi and żurek, the city is a culinary crossroads. The café culture is thriving, and the nightlife ranges from riverside bars in summer to underground clubs all year round.
Warsaw is a city that never forgets its history, yet it constantly looks forward. Bold, intellectual, and surprising, it invites exploration beyond first impressions—and always rewards it.
