City Guide Warsaw, Poland

Small Town

At first there didn't seem to be much to do or much people around at all. But once we got to the central square we saw that there was a little something there. I really liked the town, but you really don't need more than an afternoon.

AMAZING culture

This is an amazingly historic city that deserves to be in the same breath as all the other great European cities. Great history, restaurants, and nightlife. The shopping is great also.

Insider Tip:Take the free walking tours. It's GREAT.

Capital City

Lots of museums and new museums to see, great night life if you know where to find it, and lots of history

Insider Tip:Go in the spring.

Warsaw, Poland

Spent a five day weekend in Poland. Mostly in Warsaw. Great city even in February. Cheap accommodation, food and sights. Good public transportation system and very friendly people. Highly recommended.

Insider Tip:Ask the locals about the kind of places you want to go, Warsaw can offer nearly anything, so you just have to ask about it.

I lived in Warsaw for six months on a study abroad program and have visited a few times since then. It's a fantastic capital city as it's small enough to conquer, but big enough that there's always something new to discover. I highly recommend taking trams, they're slower than the metro, but above ground so you can see the city better. Take a nice stroll down the whole length of Nowy Swiat all the way to the old town. You won't regret it as the street is full of beautiful architecture!

Insider Tip:Make sure you see the Uprising Museum! There's also a fantastic pierogi restaurant in Plac Zbawiciela. It's off the touristy path, but still has an English menu.
