Walk through the center of Warsaw. Old Town in Warsaw Where it will be most interesting for tourists
Until the Second World War, when it was completely destroyed. Over the years, many cultural monuments have been restored, however, much of Warsaw is built in a modern style. Today Warsaw is conventionally divided into the Old and New Towns. The updated, modernized look of the city is also impressive.

Warsaw Central Station - Warszawa Centralna.
Urban transport in Warsaw
It is convenient for foreigners to use Warsaw public transport - buses, trams, metro. All buses and trolleybuses operate according to a schedule, which can be found at each stop. Closer to the center, there is also a detailed map of the city at the stops. Travel is carried out using tickets, which are sold at special kiosks or at terminals directly in the transport. Tickets are universal and allow you to travel on buses, trams and metro; the ticket is valid for several hours or days.
Warsaw tram.
The metro operates around the clock and has specially equipped elevators that go down from the street to the platforms. They are used by the elderly, disabled people, people with luggage and strollers. Escalators generally start from the street.
Transport is mostly new and extremely clean, runs strictly on schedule and quite quickly. There is a special schedule for night transport. In trams and subways there are no separate carriages; rubber inserts, “accordions”, allow the transport to be maneuverable on turns and develop high speed. All city transport has a specific red and yellow color.
Old city
Warsaw divided by the Vistula into two parts. In the western sector on the left bank is the city center, and to the north of it is the Old Town. Despite the fact that the Old Town seems quite small, in fact, walking along its narrow cobblestone streets, you might not even notice how the whole day flies by.
Admiring the Old Town, it’s hard to believe that all the buildings are copies of ancient buildings that were completely destroyed in the 1940s and restored in the second half of the 20th century. This historical site is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The heart of the Old Town is considered Market Square, which was once the center of Warsaw. Fairs, celebrations and other outstanding events were organized here. Today, this picturesque corner, framed by colorful houses, with many cafes and souvenir shops, is an inspiration for local and visiting artists. On the square there is a beautiful fountain with a monument to the Warsaw Siren, which is a symbol of the city. Sventoyanska Street leads deep into the Old Town.
Palace Square is the first thing visitors to the Old Town see when approaching it from the modern center of Warsaw. Along the eastern side of the square stretches the Royal Castle, built at the beginning of the 17th century on the site of a wooden fortress from the 14th century. Today the Palace houses an art museum and often hosts concerts.
The Royal Castle.
Not far from the castle there is a Gothic Cathedral of John the Baptist- the oldest temple in Warsaw, built in the 13th-14th centuries. Organ sounds are often heard from there.
A beautiful street of the Royal Route - Krakowskie Przedmieście. On the left is the Radziwill Palace, where the young Chopin gave his first concert. Among the famous buildings in Warsaw is the University of Warsaw. It is easily recognized by its majestic Baroque gates. Also pay attention to the monument to Adam Mickiewicz. Behind the back of the great poet - Discalced Carmelite Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph.
Not far from him - residence of the President of Poland. On 76 hectares there are lakes, fountains, a greenhouse, gazebos, statues and even a Greek amphitheater - all of this is the Royal Lazienki Gardens of the park. Dozens of peacocks roam freely in the park. At the entrance you can buy nuts to feed the squirrels. Entry to the Royal Gardens is free.
From the Royal Gardens of Lazienki Park you can take buses No. 116 and No. 180 to another Warsaw sights- Wilanów Palace (final stop). This place is called “small Versailles”. Wilanów was supposed to remind the wife of King John III Sobieski of her native France.
In the Ostrogsky Palace, on the street. Tamka, 41, there is one of the most unusual museums - Frederic Chopin Museum. The museum's collection includes about 5,000 exhibits: handwritten scores, letters, autographs, pianos, etc.
The road from the Old Town to the New passes through the ruins of the Barbican defensive walls, once designed by the Italian architect Giovanni Battista.
The streets of the New Town take your breath away. Here, together with numerous temples and cathedrals, there are modern buildings that simply cannot fail to attract attention. Modern Warsaw is a real European metropolis. The capital was filled with tall skyscrapers made of modern materials, glass and metal. New architectural projects are spectacular, bold, using curved lines and asymmetry in design.
Along with the achievements of modern times, there are also historical places, for example, on the banks of the Vistula there is one of the best preserved military structures - the Warsaw Citadel. The fortress was built by order of Nicholas I.
The center of Warsaw unites the districts of Śródmieście, Wola, Mokotów, Żoliborz, Ochota, Praga Północ and Praga Południe, where industrial facilities and fashionable residential areas are concentrated. Eastern Warsaw consists of the districts Targówek, Rembertów, Wawer and Wesoła, which are probably not of much interest to tourists.
Speaking about the center of the capital, one cannot fail to mention, from the upper terrace of which there is a stunning view of the entire city.
Ocher-colored tiled roofs, modern high-rise buildings, squares, squares, roads - everything is in full view. A high-speed elevator will take you to the 30th floor of the palace, where the observation deck is located, in a matter of seconds. The entrance ticket for adults costs 20 zlotys (5 euros); there are discounts for groups of tourists and children.
Warsaw surprises with a large number of parks, gardens and green areas. In addition to more than ten nature reserves and two botanical gardens, the city has numerous squares and green spaces near private houses, roads, etc.
Along with the residential complexes, modern playgrounds are equipped and street exercise equipment is installed. In parks and squares there are dry toilets and many benches where you can relax, chat with friends and simply bask in the sun.
Warsaw is a very clean city; there are spacious trash cans everywhere, made in the same style as the city flower beds. There are several utility services that constantly monitor order.
You can walk around the capital, enjoying its delights, not only during the day, but also in the evening. With the onset of dusk, the whole of Warsaw is lit with thousands of lights; good lighting will allow you to see those places that you did not have time to see during the day and take a fresh look at the city at night.
It is safe to wander the streets of the city at late hours, because police patrol around the clock.
Warsaw attracts tourists with modern shopping centers and sales. Directly in the city center, near the central railway station, there is a huge shopping center for amateur shopping Złote Tarasy.
Arkadia is considered the most interesting shopping center. And just 19 km from the city center and 10 km from the airport is the MAXIMUS outlet, where you can always buy branded items from old collections at discounted prices.
The total area of the stores is 192,000 sq. m. m. For the convenience of visitors, shopping centers have special navigation terminals where you can see a map of store locations by floor and find the objects you need, as well as high-speed elevators and large parking lots.
Cycling Warsaw
In 2013 alone, Warsaw bicycles were rented 1,800,000 times, and since its inception, the city's cycling network has been used by 2.2 million people. City residents use city bicycles more often, since a 20-minute ride is free. Therefore, it is very convenient to go shopping to the store.
“Veturilo” is the second largest European urban cycling system, which ranks honorably 10th among similar transport systems in the world. City bikes are available at any time of the day, from March to November. The maximum rental duration is 12:00. If you fail to return the bike to the station within the specified time, you will have to pay a fine.
For cyclists, there are bicycle paths everywhere, separated by special markings or laid out with red cobblestones on the sidewalks.
There are also special markings on the roadway. In general, the roads in Warsaw are quite good, there are all the necessary signs, modern traffic lights and clear markings that determine the traffic mode.
In Poland, bicycle strollers are actively used for transporting children, towed baskets, etc. There are many specialized stores where you can buy brightly tuned bicycles.
We spent less than a day in Warsaw, along the route from to. We stayed at the Dizzy Daisy Hostel Riviera, in the very center of the city. We were attracted to the hostel by its location, walking distance to the Warsaw central train station and, of course, its reasonable price. The hostel turned out to be terrible - dusty, dirty with an unpleasant smell. I won’t talk about the hostel here, that’s not what the article is about, and we already talked about it in some detail in the previous article, if you want, you can.
Naturally, you can’t stay in such a hostel for long, so we went for a walk around the center of Warsaw at night. They walked without any purpose to see or visit anything, they just walked along the streets, wandering wherever their eyes looked. Our route ran mainly along the following city streets - Marszalkowska, Mokotowska, Nowowiejska, Aleje Jerozolimskie (Jerusalem Alleys) and some other small streets and alleys.
Warsaw, as well as the whole of Poland, does not make an impression, except that in addition to the historical quarters in the cities, they are also called old cities, if in every European town. The “Old Town” consists of one or two blocks in which the architecture of medieval Europe has been preserved and maintained. In Warsaw, such a quarter is called Stare Miasto or Starówka.
So Warsaw, like any city in Poland, is basically gray shabby buildings, garbage on the streets, a large number of drunks and homeless people, tastelessly dressed people constantly rushing somewhere with gloomy expressions on their faces. Why go far, go outside, the picture will be exactly the same. Only our roads are worse, prices are more expensive and the quality of goods is lower.
Walking along Mokotowska street
We came across the Savior's Square (Plac Zbawiciela). The area is quite large, with many cafeterias and small restaurants.
The undoubted decoration of the Savior Square is.
We turned left and walked along Nowowiejska Street.
We went out onto the wide central street Marszalkowska.
There are many catering establishments on both sides of the street.
We came across a small market square with tents. The tents were imported; when we left the station to check into the hostel, there was no market yet. The tents sell honey, cheeses, sausages, oils, seasonings, dates, sweets and much more interesting things.
We got hungry and went to have a bite to eat at Kebab. Kebab establishments in Poland are the main source of street food, here they are everywhere. We ordered a kebab for 11 PLN each and a 0.5 liter bottle of Coca-Cola for 5 PLN. The bill was 27 PLN (Polish zloty).
Having satisfied their hunger, they continued on their way. We came across a building of beautiful architecture. We don’t know what was previously located in it; currently the building belongs to a bank.
We came across the Warsaw Palace of Culture and Science. The palace building is famous for its architecture and history, attracting tourists with an observation deck located at an altitude of more than two hundred meters. We talked about the palace in detail in one of the previous articles. Read.
Opposite the Palace of Culture and Science there is a small shopping center. They don’t sell anything remarkable in the center, just ordinary clothes and other everyday items.
But if you go behind the shopping center building, you find yourself on the pedestrian street Chmielna. There are numerous catering establishments on both sides of the street. The street was full of life, people were walking, having fun and drinking coffee in cafeterias. There was even a Russian “entrepreneur” present who, while entertaining the honest people, played the guitar and sang Vitas’ song “Mama.” The backup dancer was a Pole, he danced in tattered clothes and barefoot.
And we, succumbing to the general mood, decided to sit down in one of the coffee shops and drink coffee and cake. Coffee, cake and buns in Poland are not tasty.
We ordered two cappuccinos, two buns and a cake. The bill was 44.50 PLN. Coffee for 12.50, buns for 4, cake - 11.50 zlotys.
We returned to the Palace of Culture and Science and walked along the Jerusalem Alley (Aleje Jerozolimskie).
On the right, near the Palace of Culture, there is a drama theater (Teatr Dramatyczny m.st. Warszawy. Scena im. Gustawa Holoubka) and a museum of technology with fountains at the entrance.
We walked a little more and came to the main entrance of the Warsaw central railway station - Warszawa Centralna. We went into the station building, we needed to buy tickets to Modlin airport. It was from this airport that we flew to 6 o'clock in the morning.
How to quickly and cheaply get from the center of Warsaw to Modlin Airport and vice versa.
The railway tracks and station stations are located on the ground floor, that is, underground. Cash desks are on all floors.
To the right of the central entrance to the station there is a shopping center - House Złote Tarasy. The shopping center's opening hours are from Monday to Saturday from 9:00 to 22:00, on Sunday from 9:00 to 21:00. Exact address: Złota 59, 00-120 Warszawa Poland.
The shopping center building has a rather interesting shape.

Over the seven centuries of its existence, Warsaw has experienced several conquests and destructions. The entire historic city center was razed to the ground during World War II. For decades, restorers painstakingly studied documents, old engravings and photographs and literally brick by brick restored the capital of Poland from the ruins.
As a brilliant example of restoration, the historical center with its squares, castles and churches was included in the UNESCO heritage list. Nowadays, a tourist walking along the Market Square and contemplating the powerful royal castle will have a hard time guessing that these attractions are only a few decades old.

What to see and where to go in Warsaw?
The most interesting and beautiful places for walks. Photos and brief description.
Historical city center. In the 13th century, the first stone of the future Polish capital was laid here. For centuries, life was in full swing around the Old Town - merchants gathered at fairs, traveling artists staged street performances, crowds of onlookers gathered to watch the bonfires where witches and sorcerers were burned. Almost nothing of the historical buildings has survived, only the ground floors and basements, but this does not make the Old Town lose its charm.
The palace is 10 km away. from the Polish capital. It was built in the 17th century for King John Sobieski and his wife Maria Casimira Louise. At the request of the queen, during construction the creators were guided by the French architectural school (the Baroque style predominates). At the beginning of the 19th century, one of the first art museums in Poland was opened on the territory. During the Nazi occupation, the museum's collections were looted, but then they were returned back to Poland.
An architectural and cultural monument in the center of Warsaw, erected in the 16th-17th centuries by the Lithuanian prince Sigismund. During the Northern War, the castle was plundered by the Swedes and gradually fell into disrepair. It is noteworthy that in 1829 Russian Emperor Nicholas II was crowned here as the Kingdom of Poland (at that time the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was part of the Russian Empire). The modern Royal Castle is a copy of a structure blown up by the Nazis during World War II.
The central square of Warsaw, surrounded by the main attractions. Located within the Old Town. In the center of the square there is a memorial column in honor of King Sigismund III Vasa. The Royal Route begins from Castle Square, which leads to the country residence of John III. In the Middle Ages, this place was the center of city life; all the main events took place here.
Another central square surrounded by houses with colorful stucco. Each building is unique, each facade has a different pattern and color. In previous centuries, the Market Square was the commercial pulse of Warsaw. It was always crowded, lively and fun. Taking a leisurely walk through this place, you can feel the real atmosphere of the Middle Ages.
A powerful fortification structure of the 16th century in the fortification system of the Old Town, built according to the design of the Italian master D. Batista. The building did not perform defensive functions. At the base of the Barbican tower there is a monument to the Siren. According to legend, in ancient times, the Siren emerged from the river and told people that a great city would soon appear on the banks. Today, an exhibition gallery is located on the territory of the fort.
A Russian fortress of the 19th century, built by order of the imperial authorities after the November Uprising. It housed a prison for political prisoners and rebels. Important historical milestones of the Polish national liberation movement are associated with the fortress. After the occupation of Poland in 1915, the citadel passed into German hands. But they were expelled in 1918. The fortress went to the newly formed Polish independent state.
A monument that perpetuates the memory of fallen Polish patriots during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. It was officially opened in 1989 on the very spot where freedom fighters hid from the German occupiers. The composition depicts two groups of rebels who seem to rise from the ruins and courageously rush into battle. The monument is one of the most interesting and visited monuments in Warsaw.
The Polish name of the temple is St. John's Church. This is the oldest Catholic church in the capital, which was built in the 12th-14th centuries. Important events have taken place here over the centuries: coronations, peace treaties, magnificent funerals of royalty. The church played the role of the spiritual center of the Polish state. The modern building of the temple is a new building, since the historical building was demolished during the German occupation.
The church of the 16th century, which also could not avoid the fate of being destroyed during the Second World War. In the mid-19th century, a statue of Jesus carrying the cross stood in front of the temple. The church is notable for the fact that in one of its walls there is an urn with the ashes of Frederic Chopin. In the 20th century, the temple was completely rebuilt, but work on the exterior and interior decoration continued in the 21st century.
The temple was founded by ruler John III and his wife in the 17th century at their own expense. Inside is the tomb of the Polish princess, daughter of John III. The church was built in the classicism and baroque style with strict adherence to geometric proportions according to the design of the architect T. Gamerski. After the bombing, only the 17th century garden remained. The temple was rebuilt in the middle of the 20th century.
The current cathedral, which arose thanks to the generous funding of Princess Anna Radziwill. Her ashes rest inside the church. Due to numerous reconstructions, a single style is not visible in the architectural composition; a mixture of elements from different eras predominates. The bell tower of the church is used as an observation deck. According to legend, if a young couple gets married in the Church of St. Anne, the marriage will be long and prosperous.
Frederic Chopin is a famous Polish composer whose creative path was connected with Warsaw. The museum's exhibition consists of items belonging to the musician.

The first permanent exhibition opened in 2010, and after 1.5 years the museum was visited by about 2 million people.
A high-rise building, an almost exact copy of Stalin's skyscrapers in Moscow. It was erected by the Russian architect L. Rudnev by order of I.V. Stalin, who thus wanted to make a gift to the Polish people. There are offices, cinemas, a large conference hall, museums and exhibition galleries here. The spire of the building dominates all buildings in Warsaw and serves as a landmark for tourists who do not know the city.
The former residence of the Saxon Elector and King Augustus II, an exact replica of a 17th-century building that was destroyed during the Second World War. Since 1975, the castle began to be restored from its very foundation; in 1981, the Center for Contemporary Art opened on its territory. Nowadays, Ujazdowski Castle has become a platform for numerous creative festivals, screenings of original films, art salons and photo exhibitions.
Another former residence of Elector Augustus II the Strong. This majestic and picturesque building was called the “palace by the water”, since its base was installed directly on the surface of the river. The palace complex consists of the main building, bathhouse, White House with galleries and pavilions. Inside the main building there is an art gallery where more than 2 thousand paintings are exhibited.
