Love the IYP guides too! Great tip of the Panorama bar :) I only ever spent 2 hours in Warsaw between trains. So I guess I should revisit one day.

Great tips for a great city. Sounds like the city is maturing nicely into the 21st century. In '91 & '98 it was a little transitional. Then the Hotel taxis were more dependable & the locals often scammed us. This city deserves good reviews. Thx...Tom
