We had a great time in Warsaw, and we have
already decided that we will return to this great city.
Polish: Miasto Stołeczne Warszawa is the capital of Poland
and its largest city ....
Warsaw straddles the Vistula river, approximately 370 kilometres
from both the Carpathian mountains and Baltic Sea.
It is located in the heartland of the Masovian Plain, and its average
altitude is 100 m above sea level, although there are some hills
(mostly artificial) located within the confines of the city.
Warsaw is a powiat (county), and is further divided into 18 boroughs,
each one known as a dzielnica, each one with its own administrative body.
Each of the boroughs is divided into neighborhoods which are not officially
recognized by the city but known by most Varsovians.
The best known neighborhoods are the Old Town (Stare Miasto) and
New Town (Nowe Miasto) in the borough of Srodmiescie.
Although Warsaw is a reasonably new city, it has a lot of tourist
attractions. Apart from the Old Town quarter, carefully reconstructed
after World War II, each borough has something to offer.
Among the most notable landmarks of the Old Town are the Royal Castle,
King Zygmunt's Column, and the barbican.

The Warsaw Uprising Museum
The Warsaw Uprising Museum, located in Warsaw, Poland,
is a Museum dedicated to the Warsaw Uprising. It opened on
July 31, 2004.
The Museum sponsors research into the history of the Warsaw
revolt of 1944, and the history and possessions of the Polish
"resistance state". It collects and maintains artefacts from the
Uprising, and has many interesting exhibits.
Exhibits range from weapons used by the insurgents to love
letters, to present a full picture of the people involved.
The Museum's stated goals are the creation of an archive of
historical information on the Uprising, and the recording of the
stories and memories of revolt participants before they die.
The Museum uses the newest audiovisual techniques to enhance
interactive participation in the viewing of exhibition articles, and
it has received good reviews and the strong support of the Warsaw
public. The director of the Museum is Jan Ołdakowski ....

Great tips - very good suggestions. The Uprising Museum is probably the best one I ever visited in Poland, may compete (not by size though) with Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. | scottishvisitor Tue Dec 12, 2006 20:23 UTC
You had some great meals in Warsaw & the apartments look great with good views | Pawtuxet Fri Dec 8, 2006 21:12 UTC
I see you are adding to your Warsaw page. I just had to go through with more ratings and enjoy the "flavor". Is there a bad restaurant in Poland? I haven't found one. | garridogal Sun Nov 26, 2006 22:57 UTC
What great views from your apartment and what a beautiful city! |
