Interesting Warsaw Information

Four hundred years of sitting by the Wisla River, Warsaw has endured stories of intrigues, uprisings, and heroism. Warsaw's role has been detrimental to the succession from past to future power. As the reputation of communist Poland blurs in the past, Poland's capital and largest city is has been revitalized into an economical, political, and cultural powerhouse.

During the War, Warsaw's buildings were reduced to rubble. After the accession of the state into the European Union in 2004, Warsaw saw an extensive renovation and development, which left the city looking distinctively and elegantly Polish, away from the shadows of Vienna or Prague. At present, Warsaw remains to be one of the greenest metropolises in Europe, blessed with the world's 4-faced clock tower. The Socialist symbol is only one of many architectural greats - The Palace of Culture and Science and the Wilanow Palace are a must-see. The Old Town, though only half a century old, has been placed among the UNESCO's World Heritage Sites.

Tourists will love the displays of glass skyscrapers, Art Noveau, gothic churches, and the art district of Praga. Listen to Chopin's recitals that pervades throughout Lazienki Park, and see that Warsaw is a city of wonderful contrasts.
