5 Reasons to go to Warsaw

1. Taste local cuisine

If Poland is mainly known for its milk bars offering traditional cuisine reminiscent of the times of the People's Republic, it has also in store several true culinary surprises. It is most notably the case of sweets, symbols of Warsaw culinary art! Take advantage of your stay in Warsaw to taste the new « Zygmuntówka » cake or traditional Polish fritters. 

2. See the city from the sky!

In Warsaw, there are multiple overlooks from which one can contemplate the urban landscape, and the extent of the Mazovian Lowland. To climb up, you may go to the 30th floor of the Palace of Culture and Science, to the gardens located on the rooftop of Warsaw University library, or to the top of the Uprising Museum observation tower.

3. Follow in the tracks of Frederic Chopin

Frederic Chopin is undoubtedly one of the most well-known Varsovians!  His story is linked to that of Warsaw, the city where he learned how to play the piano, before becoming the famed composer we know today. Music lovers will be captivated by the discovery of places related to Chopin, by Fryderyk Chopin Museum, in Wessel Palace, as well as by Warsaw academy of music.

4. Dive into the heart of history

Warsaw cultural and architectural heritage is tightly connected to history, and more specifically to World War II events. After 85% of the city was destroyed by the war, the Polish population undertook an exceptional effort to preserve their heritage, leading a 5 years long campaign for the reconstruction of the city. Recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Warsaw old town is today one of the most meaningful accounts of Polish culture.

5. Walk in the parks of the city

One fourth of Warsaw is made up of green spaces. The parks and the gardens offer their visitors small havens of peace, ideally located far from the urban commotion. The outskirts of Wilanów Palace, a genuine remnant of Polish baroque art, are made up of an English landscape garden, a romantic Anglo-Chinese garden and a Neo-Renaissance garden, decorated with fountains and sumptuous sculptures, for example.
