One Day in Warsaw

Warsaw is a reborn city as it was completely destroyed in the Second World War. I was there for one full day and I was pretty impressed by the Polish capital.

I satrted my day in Lazienki Park in the city center, which is the largest city in Warsaw. Built in 1600s, it initially served as a bath park. I walked on its green alleys, spotted some squirrels playing around and admired the park’s amphitheater.

I paid a visit to Palace on the Isle, also on Łazienki Park, situated in the middle of a small lake. Initially a bathhouse pavilion, was later the king’s summer palace, now it serves as museum of royal art.

On my way to the city center, I walked by Palace of Culture and Science building, a masterpiece of Soviet architecture. The tower is the tallest building in the country and it offers panoramic views over the city.

I paid a visit to Warsaw Uprising Museum, one of the most popular museums in Poland, that documents the history of Warsaw Uprising of 1944, the major (eventually failed) Polish underground resistance.

I got to the city's old town, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. I walked on the cobblestone alleys and admired the medieval buildings reconstructed after Second World War.

Beautiful medieval square with a famous mermaid statue, also destroyed in 1944 and rebuilt after Second World War.

I ended my day in Warsaw with good traditional food at Podwale 25 restaurant, near the old center.
