Warsaw, Poland's capital, was almost completely destroyed in 1944 and rebuilt with remarkable care. Today its reconstructed Old Town stands beside a fast-growing modern skyline.
The Old Town
The Old Town Market Square, with its mermaid statue, and the Royal Castle were rebuilt from old paintings and photographs, earning UNESCO status. The Royal Route leads past palaces and churches.
Parks and museums
Łazienki Park has a palace on the water and free Chopin concerts in summer. The Warsaw Uprising Museum and POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews are powerful. The Palace of Culture and Science offers views over the city.
