Plan your Warsaw trip: Old Town, WWII memorials, Łazienki Park, Palace of Culture, and where to stay, eat and explore in Poland's capital.
Explore
Kraków's Old Town survived the Second World War intact — the Wawel Royal Castle, the Jewish quarter of Kazimierz, and Auschwitz-Birkenau 90 minutes by bus. Warsaw was rebuilt from rubble and tells a different story: the Warsaw Rising Museum and the Palace of Culture. Gdańsk has the amber coast, the medieval Crane over the Motława river, and a ferry to Sweden. May to September gives the warmest conditions. Each guide covers which neighbourhoods to stay in, tram and bus costs, and honest food picks.
