These are the top attractions that you simply shouldn’t miss during your time in Warsaw! First off, take a walk around the Old Town, where you can see the Royal Castle with its two original Rembrandt canvases, as well as the Cathedral and the Mermaid Statue. Then enjoy a stroll along the Royal Route, with its many shops and charming cafes. Or visit the Palace of Culture and Science – the tallest building in Poland and a prime example of social realism architecture – and its viewing terrace on the 30th floor which overlooks the entire city and affords a perfect view of all the parks and green spaces that cover nearly half the city’s area… Then you can take a leisurely stroll through one of the large parks, like the Royal Łazienki Park or the Saxon Garden. Finally, the city also boasts a number of excellent museums, such as the Fryderyk Chopin Museum which holds the world’s largest collection of Chopin memorabilia, the National Museum in Warsaw, and the multimedia filled Warsaw Rising Museum which will give you a better understanding of the city’s unique identity.
