Warsaw Overview

In some ways, the city of Warsaw reflects the spirit of its people. Razed during the Second World War and rebuilt, in large part, in utilitarian Soviet style, the capital of Poland might not have the uniform beauty of Krakow, but it’s a lively, forward-looking city.

Take a cheap flight to Warsaw and see the Old Town’s history which spans the 13th to the 20th centuries. It is postcard pretty, but what makes it remarkable is that as the area was bombed and blown up during the war, it is almost completely reconstructed. After the war, volunteers armed with old maps and paintings sifted through the rubble for reusable bricks and decorative features. Other sights include the Royal Castle, King Sigismund’s Column, the Market Square, and the Barbican.

One of the defining landmarks in Warsaw is the Palace of Culture and Science, which was “gifted” to the Polish nation by Stalin. Many locals consider it Warsaw at its worst. As for memorials to the fallen, these include the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Saxon Garden, the Warsaw Uprising Monument, and the poignant Maly Powstaniec (Little partisan) which commemorates the children who fought in the Warsaw Uprising.

There are many excellent museums throughout the city with insights into Warsaw’s dramatic past, including the National Museum, the Warsaw Uprising Museum and the Museum of Independence.

Head to Nowy Swiat, the picturesque main boulevard where you’ll find lots of shops and restaurants, as well as the seat of Polish government. Some eateries can be expensive here and if you’re looking for cheap meals, then try a “milk bar” which offers hearty simple food in a stripped-down bistro environment. If you’re looking for trendier modern spots, head to Praga on the east side of the Vistula river where you’ll find factories converted into art and restaurant spaces.

Warsaw’s busy Old Town was rebuilt after the city’s near destruction in World War II. To keep the city’s history alive, the buildings were rebuilt in their original 17th- and 18th- century style. Restored buildings, Baroque and Renaissance merchant houses, open-air restaurants and the Historical Museum of Warsaw all surround the lovely Old Market Square (Rynek), one of the area’s focal points. Buskers, painters and musicians constantly entertain spectators and traditional horse-drawn carriages clatter down the roads. If you take one of the cobbled streets leading away from the square, you’ll run into Gothic churches and former aristocratic palaces, and eventually the medieval walls that surround the city. Also worth a stop is the Royal Castle. Once home to Polish Kings, the palace is now a museum displaying tapestries, furniture and decorative collections.

Warsaw climate

Warsaw has four distinct seasons. Spring starts out cold and ends with warm and sunny days. Summer is warm with lots of rain. July is the hottest month with temperatures reaching the mid-20s. Autumn (September – October) is the reverse of spring, and ends with cold foggy days. There can be lots of snow from December through February, and January and February temperatures can drop to minus figures. The peak tourist season is late-April through October.

Getting around Warsaw

Within the city it’s very easy to get around between the trams, buses and the Metro. And you can always set out on your own two feet.

Getting Downtown

After catching a flight to Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport (WAW), the easiest way to get to the centre is to catch a cab, bus or shuttle bus. Since the airport is so close to the city (6 miles/10km south west of Warsaw), rates are all affordable.
