Warsaw is the proud capital of Poland and is, with 1.7 million inhabitants, the largest city of the country. The Second World War has been disastrous for Warsaw. The city was in ruins and the Jewish ghetto was destroyed. But then reconstruction began. The old city centre was restored and new modern buildings were constructed. The Old Town is now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ‘Miracle of Warsaw’ is complete...
Standing tall on an enviable history of innovation and culture, the Polish capital city of Warsaw has a passion for everything new. Here you will find the perfect combination of old-Europe charm and cosmopolitan cool that easily rivals the heavy-weight tourist capitals of Europe. Amongst the glittering five-star hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury is never far away. But don't mistake Warsaw for just another luxury destination, as it is also the thriving music and arts capital of Poland, with an exciting selection of festivals, art exhibitions and good old-fashioned parties.
