Warsaw

More about the book

Magnificent churches, grand palaces and elegant townhouses, often painstakingly reconstructed after wartime destruction, stand alongside modern steel-and-glass office buildings and shopping malls. Here life has a markedly faster pace than in other parts of Poland. This guide will show you the sights you musn't miss. Take a stroll around the historical centre with its concentration of picturesque old architecture and explore the city's suburbs. Sample the splendour of the classical Łazienki and baroque Wilanów, two widely popular park-cum-palace complexes. Visit delightful places around Warsaw such as Kampinos National Park, Frédéric Chopin's Żelazowa Wola, the spa of Konstancin-Jeziorna or the ancient towns of Czersk and Pułtusk. And whatever practical information you may need - on accommodation, restaurants, cafes, clubs, theatres, cinemas, concert hall, museums or galleries - you will also find it here.
