"WARSAW, THE EUROPEAN PHOENIX BIRD" Warsaw by elcolibri

Warsaw Travel Guide: 2,957 reviews and 7,158 photos

To Adam, Ania and Alina who show me Warsaw

Warsaw is a great city with many faces to taste. You can find here the charming of the Old Town or the Castle Square and the modernity of its commercials street. You can leave the historical part of the city and visite the peaceful parks, remember the history in the Ghetto, listen a concert in Royal Lazienki Park or merely walk by its quarter breathing the spirit of the city, but always remember you are looking a New City because almost 85% of the buildings of Warsaw were destruyed during WWII and rebuilding later as they were before and preserving their historical roots.
Warsaw is the European Phoenix Bird. All the world should say: Thanks polish by restore your charming capital!
Varsovia es una gran ciudad, que sólo puede disfrutarse si se visita con el conocimiento de su historia pasada y reciente. Varsovia es el ave fenix de Europa, destruida una y otra vez siempre ha resurgido de sus cenizas gracias al esfuerzo y dedicacion de su noble pueblo.
Un amigo me comentaba si no hubiera sido mejor y mas barato hacer una nueva ciudad en lugar de reconstruir la antigua Varsovia pero los polacos prefirieron demostrar al mundo que podian ser destruidos pero no vencidos y con el testimonio grafico de fotos y pinturas volvieron a levantar su ciudad: Un valiosisimo trabajo que los foraneos reconocemos y que solo visitar ese milagro reconstructivo amerita un viaje a Varsovia.
