Husband was attending Fi CEE Exhibition , so I went to help him. I even ended up taking over when he was ill, which meant my sightseeing had to be curtailed. However it did mean I was able to see a lot of VT evaanna who helped us set up and man the stand , and took us to Wilanow with her husband, and advised us of what else we could see in the time we had.
There is no way I can add anything to the information she gives in her Warsaw pages, so my comments will be of a more personal nature.

The Old Town

VT evaanna told us that whatever we did, we must visit the Old Town. So after checking out our stand at the Exhibition Centre we took the 175 bus to the Old Town and spent hours wandering around that beautiful place.
For more see my tips.

She also insisted we should go to Lazienki Park. We decided that it didn't look too far to walk to, and set off. It was fine until two hours later we still hadn't reached it. In the end we gave in and stopped a Taxi. We had turned in the wrong direction when in another park, but it gave us an unexpected tour . After wandering this magnificent park and enjoying the spring flowers, we met up with Ewa and her husband again for lunch and atrip to Wilanow , and their home for tea and cookies.

    I see Warsaw has some lovely buildings and gardens, and some interesting shops! Wooden toys I think are a great buy, they last nearly for ever! Nice page!

    Ewa gives very good advice. Glad you visited Old Town and Wilanow, and all the rest. I fell in love the first visit and hope for many more to come.

    I liked Warsaw and it looks like we saw a lot of the same things :) But I also live in the second largest Polish city. Only Warsaw has more Poles. :)

    Beautiful pictures of Warsaw on your page. You saw quite a lot in the little time you had. I think you didn't try enough kinds of dumplings to appreciate them.:) You obviously must come again. :)
