This is the capital of a progressive and dynamic east European country.
The city where Chopin grew up may have had a devastated past due to World War II, but the fighting spirited that runs through Warsaw’s veins made it the thriving metropolis that it is today. However, if you want to explore Polish history, what Warsaw has to offer goes beyond World War II: national museums, a science centre, art galleries, a rebuilt fortress, royal residences, and the Palace of Culture and Science, which is the tallest building in Poland and it offers the most amazing panoramic view over the city.
In a city where the past meets the present, you’ll find out that there’s so much to see, and when it comes to the best places in Warsaw, Farol City Guides will be there for you.
