Explore Warsaw

Warsaw is a fast-changing, modern city with a rich, though turbulent, past. Despite the fact its allure may not be immediate, it has plenty of scenic corners and places of historic significance that will send tingles down your spine.

Polands proud capital for over 400 years, Warsaw is a bustling city which has reinvented itself as a tourist destination as well as Central Europes financial hub. High-rise glass and steel buildings contrast with the luscious green of its numerous parks and squares, while the citys long and often bitter history has left a lasting imprint on its architecture, producing an eclectic mix of contrasting architectural styles, from the monolithic Palace of Culture and Science to the quaint streets of the Old Town.

Enormous changes since the 1989 democratic elections and Polands accession to the EU in 2004 have turned Warsaw into a thoroughly European, metropolitan capital. Cafs are full of people enjoying leisurely coffee and cake breaks, bars and restaurants are packed with power-suited business people, and a growing number of shops stock everything from Cartier, Versace and exotic foodstuffs, to local specialities such as folk crafts. The city has a thriving nightlife scene with numerous bars and nightclubs, particularly in the centre and, in summer, along the riverside.

Geography and layout

Warsaw lies in the heart of the Mazovia region in central Poland, on the banks of the River Vistula (Wisa). Unlike most other European capitals, it doesnt have a proper centre and the entire city, along with its numerous attractions, is spread across a large area of 517 sq km (200 sq miles), posing a serious challenge even for the most hardened walkers. Fortunately, the modern public transport system including trams, buses and a shiny metro is efficient, punctual and easy to use even for people with a minimum knowledge of Polish. Licensed taxis and Uber cars, as well as Veturilo city bike stations, are also omnipresent in the greater city centre.
