Warsaw is an extraordinary city where western and eastern cultures meet. Historic buildings, palaces and churches destroyed during the War have been reconstructed with great care, but traces of its heroic past can still be seen.
Warsaw features a splendid Old Town, with Market Square, St. John's Cathedral, the Barbican and Castle Square. Take a taxi along the Royal Route with its numerous churches, monuments, historic buildings and palaces, past the Parliament. Stroll through the grand Lazienki Park with its "Palace on the Water" and Chopin's monument. On the way back, pause to pay respects at the former Jewish Ghetto monument, followed by a drive past the imposing building of the Grand Theatre and the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.
Lazienki, one of the most beautiful parks in Europe, was founded in 1766 by Stanislaw August Poniatowski, the last king of Poland. The Palace on the Water, is the most famous building in the complex. The palace burned down at the end of WWII and was carefully reconstructed and now hosts Thursday art-receptions.
A spectacular sight just outside of Warsaw is the summer residence of King Jan Sobieski, often called "Little Versailles". Its magnificent interiors includes furniture and china from the period of Sobieski’s victory over the Turks at the gates of Vienna in the 17th Century. The grounds consist of an Italian Baroque garden, a rose garden, as well as an English park.
