Cool and fresh air with nice old town building❤️"Warsaw.Stare Miasto2km from downtownHighlights: The Old Town of Warsaw is an older urban area in Warsaw, Poland, and it is also a major tourist destination in Warsaw. It is bounded by the Gdansk Riverfront Road, Grodzka Street, Mostova Street and Podwale Street on the Vistula River. The heart of Warsaw's Old Town is the Old Town Market Square, surrounded by restaurants, cafés and shops. The surrounding streets are flanked by medieval buildings such as city walls, watchtowers and St. John's Cathedral. The buildings in the old city were all rebuilt later, but this did not affect people's appreciation of its beauty. There are many attractions in the old town, such as the Mermaid Statue, the Royal Palace, the Old Town Square and the Marie Curie Museum. You can spend half a day in the old town slowly admiring the surrounding buildings and tasting authentic Polish specialties by the way. Out of love for the architectural heritage of the motherland, the teachers and students of the Department of Architecture of the University of Warsaw have made surveying and mapping records of the main blocks and important buildings of the ancient city of Warsaw. When the war broke out, they hid all these drawings and materials in caves. Although the houses and streets were destroyed, their image materials were preserved. The Old Town of Warsaw was later included in the World Heritage List in 1980 as a special case. World heritage is generally something that refuses to accept reconstruction, but the people of Warsaw spontaneously rose up to protect their national culture and historical traditions, setting an example for all ancient cities in the world, and also having an important impact on the protection of ancient cities in Europe.Show Less - 5.54.2/541 ReviewFree"There are many city gardens and squares in Warsaw, Poland, and of course there are church attractions. There is a sculpture that is very famous, called mermaid. This sculpture is not very big, but the popularity is very high. You can see it in Warsaw."Warsaw.Centrum1.8km from downtownHighlights: There are many legends in Warsaw, all of which are related to mermaids. Even the origin of the word Warsaw is said to be related to mermaids. All the mermaid statues in the old town of Warsaw have become the symbol of Warsaw. 85% of the buildings in Warsaw were destroyed in the Second World War, and most of the buildings today are rebuilt after the war. This mermaid statue in the old city is located on the sparkling Vistula River. It is made of bronze sculpture. It is the city emblem of Warsaw and is the pride of Warsaw. The statue is 4 meters high, the upper body is a naked young girl, and the lower body is a beautiful carp tail. The mermaid held a sword in her right hand and a shield in her left hand, leaping above the turbulent waves. The mermaid has a graceful and dignified face with a slight majesty.Show Less

It was once the headquarters of Napoleon and is now the residence of the Polish president."Warsaw.Centrum1.5km from downtownHighlights: The Presidential Palace in Warsaw, located on the Royal Avenue, was built by the architect Constantia Tencalli for the then Polish military commander Hetman Stanislaw Koniecpolski. Since 1995, it has been the seat of the Presidential Palace in Warsaw.Show Less - 4.64.6/5159 ReviewFreebased on 8705 reviews"Must see attraction in Łazienki Królewskie (Royal Bath) Park. The monument is very expressive and bigger than anticipated."Warsaw2.2km from downtownHighlights: Łazienki Królewskie literally translates as "Bath Park", because there is a statue of Chopin in the park, also known as Chopin Park, with English garden style, because the water palace Lazienki Palace is also located here, the local is also known as "Wakizin Park". The palace was originally the villa of the last king of Poland and is now the Polish State Guest House. Not far to the northeast is the Meshilevitsky Palace.Show Less
- 4.44.4/553 ReviewFreebased on 5269 reviews"The highest height in Warsaw, with a total height of 234 meters, was built by the Soviet Union and presented to Warsaw with a strong Soviet architectural style. It is a landmark in Warsaw known as "Stalin's Syringe" or "Russian Wedding Cake". But such a beautiful building is completely inconsistent with the old city style in the distance of the surrounding new city. The complex historical process makes the Polish people have a complex mood of love and hatred for this building. It is said that there is a lot of space inside. It often holds various exhibitions. This reminds me of the above. The "China-Suzhou Friendly Building" in the sea is really a style building."Warsaw.Centrum488m from downtownHighlights: The Palace of Culture and Science was built in 1955, with a height of 230 meters, which is currently the tallest building in Poland. The Palace of Culture and Science was a gift from the Soviet Union to Poland at that time. The whole building is in the style of Soviet architecture, which is incompatible with Warsaw. Many Poles see it as a symbol of Soviet rule, so they have given him many other meaningful aliases.Show Less
