Old Town is the highlight of Warsaw (for whatever that's worth). It was rebuilt after Germany destroyed it during WWII and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. However, you have feeling of being in Disneyland when you realize this is a recreation (compared to original old towns like Colmar, France). However, definitely visit Warsaw's Old Town! It's the highlight... more

Stare Miasto (literally Old Town) in the center of Warsaw is a living gem. This section of town was completely reconstructed after the Nazi bombing of Warsaw, from the original plans drawn up in the 1600s. You would never know that what you see is a reconstruction. Make sure to visit some of the wonderful restaurants that face on the... more

Just avoid the kebabs!! Haha... ended up having a gelati for dinner instead. The buildings there are... more

The old town is situated right next to the Royal Castle in Warsaw. Completely destroyed during WWII and then rebuilt to historical expectations, it is truly magnificent. Plenty of shops and restaurants offering everything from Kababs, Mexican, Japanese, and traditional Polish fair. In the summer which Is when I visited last you can expect the square to be filled with... more

I really loved this very beautiful attraction in the very centre of Warsaw. You should visit it for sure if you are in Warsaw and enjoy its wonderful atmosphere sitting at some of the numerous cafes, of course, if you are fortunate enough to find places there, cause this attraction is always crowded with tourists. more
