Warsaw

Love music, fine food and history? Don’t overlook dynamic Warsaw. The city is at once vibrant, contemporary and edgy, with eclectic architectural styles reflecting its various influences throughout the ages. Spend a morning exploring Old Town’s tall church steeples, colorful houses and narrow, cobblestone lanes. Move on to the city center and its nearby palaces, including Łazienki and Wilanow, then on to Mokotowska Street, home to some of the finest boutiques of Polish design. As you wander, notice how the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings have been exquisitely restored to their former glory in the post-World War II era. Take a privately guided tour of POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, the Palace of Culture & Science or the Copernicus Science Centre. Music lovers can’t miss the Chopin Museum, or a day trip into the countryside to visit his home, Zelazowa Wola.
