The Old Town is the heart of Warsaw, full of charming townhouses, narrow streets, and picturesque squares. Walking through this historic area, you will feel as if you have traveled back in time.
The Old Town Market Square was the site of many historic events, including the famous election of 1764, when Stanisław August Poniatowski was chosen as King of Poland.
This touching monument commemorates the youngest participants of the Warsaw Uprising. It is a symbolic tribute to the children who fought for the freedom of their city.
The monument was unveiled in 1983, on the 40th anniversary of the outbreak of the Uprising, as a tribute to the bravery of young Varsovians.
The Royal Castle is a true architectural and historical gem of Warsaw. Built in the Baroque style, it served as a royal residence. While visiting, you can walk through its beautiful halls and admire the richness of Polish history.
According to legend, mysterious treasures were hidden in the castle’s underground chambers and have never been found to this day.
Near the Vistula Boulevards, in the Multimedia Fountain Park in Podzamcze, Stołeczna Estrada annually stages a new light and sound show. On a water screen, viewers witness a spectacular combination of images, water, music, and lights based on Warsaw legends. The entertainment and educational value of the multimedia shows have contributed to this venue recently becoming one of the most popular public spaces in the capital.
This charming street is a great place for a walk and some shopping. You will find numerous cafés, boutiques, and restaurants here, creating the unique atmosphere of the area.
Nowy Świat was famous for being a favorite meeting place for intellectuals and artists during the interwar period.

King Stanisław August Poniatowski often organized summer concerts and social gatherings here, attracting aristocracy from all over Europe.
Not far from the Royal Łazienki (a 13-minute drive) lies one of the most beautiful parks situated on the escarpment of the former Vistula River valley – Skaryszewski Park, considered one of the most picturesque parks in Europe. It features charming ponds, sculptures, and old-growth trees, creating a green oasis in the heart of the city.
This is one of the most recognizable buildings in Warsaw. Built in the socialist realist style, the palace has served many different functions since the 1950s.
Many residents have mixed feelings about the palace because it was built as a form of post-war compensation funded by the Soviet Union.
It is a perfect place for a walk away from the noise of the city. The park surrounding the Wilanów Palace delights visitors with its diverse vegetation and picturesque pathways.
According to legend, the park has its own ghost – the Golden Lady, who is said to appear near the palace.
a Baroque royal residence located in Warsaw, in the Wilanów district. It was built between 1681 and 1696 for King John III Sobieski and Queen Marie Casimire, designed by Augustyn Wincenty Locci.
The palace, together with the surrounding park and outbuildings, has preserved its original architectural form as well as its historical and artistic value. In 1994, the Wilanów palace complex, along with Morysin, was recognized as a historic monument. It is now a venue for cultural events, concerts, and meetings. A garden is located next to the palace.
The monumental Baroque church towers over Krakowskie Przedmieście with its two tall spires, and the statue of Christ carrying the cross standing in front of the entrance is one of Warsaw’s most recognizable sights.
Admire the vast, gold-adorned main altar, pause in the side chapels, or find the place where the heart of the outstanding Polish composer Frédéric Chopin is laid to rest. Each year, on the anniversary of his death, the entire church resonates with the sounds of Mozart’s Requiem.
The Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art creates and promotes art in all its forms while encouraging reflection on culture and society. Its strength lies in its community of artists, audiences, and team. The institution is guided by values such as social engagement, openness to experimentation, transparency, and ecological awareness.
