Warsaw Travel Guide - Poland Magical Experience
Warsaw (Polish: Warszawa) is the capital of Poland and, with 1.7 million inhabitants, its largest city. It is located on the Vistula River (Polish: Wisła), roughly equidistant (350 km, 217 mi) from both the Baltic Sea (Bałtyk) in the north and the Carpathian Mountains (Karpaty) in the south. The medieval capital of Poland was the southern city of Krakow, but Warsaw has been the capital of the country since 1596, and has grown to become Poland's largest city and the nation's urban and commercial center. Completely destroyed by the Nazis during World War II, the city lifted itself from the ashes. Today, almost every building in Warsaw dates to the postwar era — with what little remains of the old structures being confined largely to the restored districts of Stare Miasto (the 'old city') and Nowe Miasto ('new city'), as well as selected monuments and cemeteries, plus midwar modernist districts Ochota and Żoliborz.
Districts of Warsaw :
Centrum (Śródmieście, Wola, Mokotów, Żoliborz, Ochota, Praga Północ, Praga Południe)
The Centrum area, which also comprises the famous Warsaw Old Town. It's made up of six diverse districts and is a mixture of industrial areas and prestigious residential neighborhoods. It will be here that most travelers will spend their time in Warsaw, as most major attractions and hotels are primarily located in Śródmieście, Wola, and Mokotów.
Northern Warsaw (Bielany, Białołęka)
Western Warsaw (Bemowo, Włochy, Ursus)
Eastern Warsaw (Targówek, Rembertów, Wawer, and Wesoła)
Southern Warsaw (Ursynów, Wilanów)
The southern terminal of the Royal Route, Wilanów is home to the Wilanów Palace. Ursynów is home to the historic Natolin park and nature reserve, which hosts the College of Europe Natolin in the Potocki Palace. The area saw intense activity on the part of the Polish Home Army during the Warsaw Uprising.
Historically, the right bank was the first one to become populated, during the 9th or 10th century. However, the present city's central district, called Śródmieście lies on the left bank. The Old Town is fully contained within the borders of the city center. The central point of the city is located at the intersection of Al. Jerozolimskie and ul. Marszałkowska, near the entrance to the Metro Centrum subway station. It is good to know that the Palace of Culture is a landmark visible from almost any location in Warsaw. Should you ever get lost in the city, just walk toward the Palace of Culture and Science. The quarter delimited by Al. Jerozolimskie, ul. Marszałkowska, al. Jana Pawła II, and ul. Świętokrzyska, contains Dworzec Centralny, the main railway station, and the Palace of Culture and Science.
The public transport system in Warsaw is generally well-developed, with some 200 bus routes and 30 tram lines. The route descriptions on the tram stops are easy to follow and the tickets are cheap. It can be painfully slow, however, to travel between destinations far from the city center.
There are plenty of accomodation options in Warsaw at all budget levels. The best accomodation options are located in Śródmieście, Wola, and Mokotów. There are also many business travel hotels in Warsaw/Włochy, near the airport. If you are on a budget, do not assume that hostels are your only option.

On May 2, 1945, around 6:00, during the rally through the Tiergarten park made by the 2nd battalion, part 1 of the battalion of the 3rd Infantry Regiment and tank battalion of the 66th Armored Brigade, soldiers of 7 batteries of 1 Light Artillery Regiment from the 1st Kościuszko Division, stuck in the middle of the third floor Siegessäule (Prussian victory column) in the Tiergarten park a white and red banner. The second flag on the balustrade of the second floor, at the order of Lieutenant Piotr Potapski, was hung by soldiers from 8 batteries of the 3rd Squadron. The third flag was hanged by five Polish soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division (former lieutenant Mikołaj Troicki , Kazimierz Otap , Antoni Jabłoński and canons Aleksander Karpowicz andEugeniusz Mierzejewski ). After capitulation, white and red flags hung on the Victory Column and on the Brandenburg Gate. The Soviet soldiers hung the red banners next to them. Hitler's Germany was defeated.
The Polish First Army (Polish: Pierwsza Armia Wojska Polskiego, 1 AWP for short, also known as Berling's Army) was a Polish Army unit formed in 1944, from the previously existing soviet Polish I Corps as part of the People's Army of Poland (LWP), a formation of the Polish Armed Forces in the East. The First Army fought westward, subordinated to the Soviet 1st Belorussian Front, during the offensive against Germany that led to the liberation of Warsaw in January 1945, and the capture of Berlin in May 1945.
In September 1944, after the occupation of the right-bank part of Warsaw (Praga) by the Soviet and Polish troops, the units of the 1st Army fought heavy and lost, struggling to capture and maintain bridgeheads on the left bank of the Vistula. The purpose of the fighting was to support the ongoing Warsaw Uprising . The fights ended in defeat and withdrawal to Prague.
On January 14-17, 1945, the 1st Army of the Polish Army, operating in the 1st Belorussian Front, participated in the Warsaw Operation. Warsaw , destroyed by the Germans after the 1944 uprising in 84%, was declared a fortress . She was liberated as a result of the operation of three armies. The Soviet 61th Army from the Vorkovoye-Magnuszew bridgehead and 47A from the Modlin area hit Błonie, creating the so-called a Warsaw boiler, in which part of the strength of the 9th German Army was found. The 1st Army of the Polish Army attacked Warsaw with main forces from the south, from the bridgehead near Warka, and part of the forces frontally, from the area of Łomianki, Prague and Wilanów.
However, the course of the operation was not consistent with the previously planned plan. The enemy, wanting to get out of the boiler, withdrew some of his forces from Warsaw. In this situation, the 6th Infantry Division grouped on the right bank of the river, crossed the Vistula near Śródmieście, Żoliborz and Wilanów, and on January 17 , it was the first to enter left-bank Warsaw. A little later, units of the 2nd Infantry Division reached the city, which forced the Vistula north of the city and the rest of the forces of the 1st Army from the south.
After fending several street fights and skirmishes, the units of the 1st Army of the Polish Army took Warsaw and cleared it from the enemy. Engineering departments began to mine and built the first pontoon bridge on the Vistula. On January 19, on the streets of the extinct capital, separate units took part in ul. Marszałkowska in the parade, which was guarded from the air by the 1st Regiment of the fighter aviation Warsaw ( perhaps it was only the march of units to the front )
Between 19 - 29 January troops of the 1st Army performed a march from the region of Warsaw to Bydgoszcz , at the same time shielding the endangered right touchline 1 Byelorussian Front , and then, in two columns, marched westward.
On January 31, the leading elements of the Army's operational group met resistance of the opponent in the belt of obscuring the strongly fortified defensive position of the Pomeranian Wall.

Polish People´s Army in Battle of Lenino, Warsaw, Berlin!
Yes Polish People´s and soviet Army helped the partisans in Warsaw Upring!
In subsequent days, the division was regrouped to the north and on August 26, 1944 continued battles on the Vistula River in the area between the rivers: Wilga and Auger. September 5, 1944 the division was temporarily reassigned from the First Army commander and resubordinated to the 47th Army. Between September 10–15, 1944 bloody battles were fought for the liberation of right-bank Warsaw – Praga. There is a memorial to this in the same area built in the 1980s.
Later, the division fought in Berlin around the Reich Chancellery and the Reichstag.

The great Monument is today in a very bad condition and vandalised. The gevorments in Poland after the restoration of Capitalism they are waiting the destructon of the monument with Vandalsmus and the destruction of the time. No Reconstruction only new luxus apartments for the Oligarchs.
----------------------
The Kościuszko Infantry Division Memorial (Pomnik Kościuszkowców) commemorates the attempt to aid the Warsaw Uprising by soldiers of the Soviet-organised Polish 1st Tadeusz Kościuszko Infantry Division during World War II. It stands at the intersection of Wybrzeże Helskie and Okrzei Streets at the entrance to Port Praski (the port of Praga) in North Praga in Warsaw, near the former Komora Wodna building on the Vistula river.
By September 14, 1944, troops from the Polish 1st Infantry Division and the Red Army had cleared the Wehrmacht from the capitol city's right bank (known as (Praga)), while the Warsaw Uprising was still ongoing from August 1 across the river in Warsaw proper. Detachments from the Polish Division attempted several landings at Czerniaków (in Solec) and Kępa Potocka (in Żoliborz) to give their support to the Uprising. However, due to insufficient planning and non-existent tactical support, the landings ultimately failed to relieve the Polish partisan army in the capitol.

Maharaja Helped Save the Lives of 640 Polish Children and Women During World War II
The ravages of the Second World War left Poland a shadow of the country it once was. The nation was torn apart by destructive forces, its people held captive in concentration camps and countless of its children left orphans.
Overcoming grave obstacles and challenges, hundreds of Polish children (and women) managed to escape the dire circumstances in their country. Contradictory reports exist on how the kids planned their escape. However, it is known that they were turned away from every country they approached for help.
When their ship docked in Mumbai, the British governor too refused them entry. Maharaja Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja of Nawanagar, who had heard of the plight of the refugees, sought to help them and pressurized the British government to allow the refugees to disembark. Frustrated by the lack of empathy and the unwillingness of the government to act, the Maharaja ordered the ship to dock at Rosi port in his province. Thus began the story of Little Poland in India.

Safe Poland Day in Zagan, Poland, Jan. 14, at Gen. Stanislaw Macek Park. The celebration was an opportunity for the Polish citizens to welcome the Soldiers of 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. The 3-4 ABCT’s arrival marks the start of back-to-back rotations of armored brigades in Europe as part of Atlantic Resolve. This rotation will enhance deterrence capabilities in the region, improve the U.S. ability to respond to potential crises and defend allies and partners in the European community. U.S. forces will focus on strengthening capabilities and sustaining readiness through bilateral and multinational training and exercises.

Tribute to teared monument of the Red Army in Warsaw
On 1st on November 2018, during the All Saints' Day that is considered one of the most important celebration day in Poland, a group of inhabitants of Warsaw paid a tribute to the soldiers of the Red Army. They decided to gather next to the monument of the gratitude towards the soldiers who died during the liberation of Warsaw’ Praga that was removed from the Skaryszewski park since the beginning of October. Its elements were relocated to the Museum of the Cold War in Podborsko. The monument standed in the place where 26 soldiers who died on 13th of September 1944 were burried.
The organizers „Red History Campaign” (Kampania Historia Czerwona) created an event on Facebook. They organized a gathering of people who are against removing the monument and decomunization itself. Officials from the district council say that the monument has been frequently devastated. Vandals were painting svastikas or symbols of Warsaw Uprising (PW) on it.
The Relocation of the monument is a part of the wider program of decomunization that takes places in Poland since the Law and Justice party won the parliamentary election in 2015. During the process names of streets that reffer to the communist past are being changed and monuments removed. Activists as members of the Red History Campaign defends that decomunization is a way of falsificating the history.

폴란드의 중심이 바르샤뱌라면 바르샤바의 중심은 잠코비다. 16세기 지그문트 3세가 이곳으로 왕궁을 옮긴이래 광장은 폴란드 사람들과 흥망을 함께 해왔다. 사람들이 맞이한 독립 100년은 그래서 또한 이곳 광장의 자유100년이다. 바르샤바에선 누구나 자유다. 아이들이 신나게 뛰노는 거리, 멋스럽고 고풍스러운 풍경들, 하지만 이 모든 건 사실, 현대에 와서 지은 것들이다. “독일군은 바르샤바를 네 구역으로 나누어 도시 전체를 완전히 폐허로 만들었어요. 1944년 8월 1일 독일군에 대항해 바르샤바 사람들이 무려 63일간 싸우고 수만 명이 죽어간 ‘바르샤바 봉기’에 대한 보복이었어요” 2차대전 말 폴란드 사람들은 스스로의 힘으로 독일군을 몰아내고자 봉기를 일으켰다. 하지만 그 결과는 참담했다. 봉기는 실패했고 도시는 완전히 잿더미가 됐다. 하지만 사람들은 도시를 포기하지 않았다. 폐허 속에서 남은 주춧돌을 모으고 옛 그림들까지 동원해 바르샤바를 벽돌 한 장까지 완벽히 되살렸다. 바르샤바는 유럽의 여느 도시들처럼 과거의 유물이 아니라 오늘날 사람들이 일궈낸 저항과 부활의 도시다.

If the center of Poland is Warsaw, Warsaw's center is Zakovy. Since the 16th century, Sigmund III moved the palace to this place, the square has been in a hurry with the Polish people. The centennial of independence that people have welcomed is also 100 years of freedom here in the plaza. Everyone is free in Warsaw. The streets where children are excited, the scenic and antique scenery, but all of this is, in fact, something that has come to Hyundai. The Germans divided Warsaw into four zones and completely ruined the entire city. On August 1, 1944, the Warsaw war against the German army was a retaliation against the Warsaw Uprising, which fought for 63 days and killed tens of thousands. At the end of World War II, the Polish people uprised in their own efforts to drive the Germans. But the results were terrible. The insurrection failed and the city became completely ashes. But people did not give up the city. He collected the remaining stones in the ruins and used old paintings to completely revive Warsaw to a brick. Warsaw is not a relic of the past, as is the case in Europe, but a city of resistance and resurrection that people have made today.

Jeśli centrum Polski jest Warszawa, centrum Warszawy jest Zakovy. Od XVI w. Zygmunt III przeniósł pałac w to miejsce, plac spieszy się z Polakami.

Ulice, na których dzieci są podekscytowane, malownicza i zabytkowa sceneria, ale wszystko to jest w rzeczywistości czymś, co przydarzyło się Hyundai. Niemcy podzielili Warszawę na cztery strefy i całkowicie zrujnowali całe miasto. 8 rok 1944 był odwet za Powstanie Warszawskie, Warszawa solidny 63 dni dziesiątki tysięcy ludzi, którzy zginęli walcząc z Niemcami jeden dzień, „koniec ludzi II wojny światowej polskich spowodowała naegoja powstanie wyparli Niemców w sile własnych.

West Pomerania, Poland - Unravel Travel TV
Unravel Travel TV visits Poland's West Pomeranian region to check the beaches and main cities along this area of the Baltic Coast, taking in the history and attractions and spas along the way.
Szczecin is the capital city of the region. Its turbulent history included the reign of Gryfit Dukes, the Danish Suzerainty, Brandenburg Dukes, the Prussian and Swedish Reign, the stationing of Napoleon's Soldiers and the Russian Army, as well as endless wars between economic prosperity. The Pomeranian Dukes' Castle is one of the largest cultural centres in the area, which towers over the Oder River while nearby, along the Chrobry Embankment is a large terrace offering great views over the river.
Szczecin has a slice of fame status related to the The Great Escape, as depicted in the Hollywood movie. It was here that three prisoners hid as after their spectacular breakout from the Nazi camp before travelling to their freedom northwards.
There are a number of hotels including The Radisson Blu Hotel which is centrally located and offers an excellent Baltica Wellness & Spa facility.
Wolin is Poland's largest island on the Baltic Coast which is mostly covered by the Wolin National Park which protects the sea cliffs, plants and rare birds. Closer to the heart of the island lies the town of Wolin which every year hosts the Festival of Slavs and Vikings. Warriors from all Europe visit to test their skills in combat and to showcase their traditions and crafts which range from making bread and,crafts, to the construction of a viking settlement.
A visit to the Gerhard's Fort provides a fine example of one of the best preserved 19th Century seaside forts in this part of Europe. It was constructed by Prussian fortifiers and was one out of four basic defence structures forming part of the Maritime Fortress of Swinoujscie.
The 189-km long Baltic seaside is one of the attractions, ideal for sunbathing, water sports and walking. Swinoujscie is a popular destination and a renowned health resort as well as a key Polish port. Here there are cycling lanes on both the Polish and German parts of West Pomerania as well as nine marked walking tourist trails, a 300 step climb to the top of its lighthouse and a 44 island kayaking trail. Swinoujscie can be accessed by boat from Scandinavian destinations.
Kolobrzeg, a large seaside resort and health spa, is often termed the Pearl of the Baltic Sea. Situated on the coast of the Baltic Sea, at the mouth of the Parseta River, it offers wide sandy beaches and an historic park. The micro-climate, natural resources of peat and salt saline are used in health and beauty treatments by most of the hotels which attract tourists and health spa patients year round. Kolobreg's attractions include sea cruises, fishing trips, biking and walking along its designated paths and trails.The Aquarius Hotel & Spa has been tastefully designed and offers an Aqua center and nightclub and is one of many four and five star properties offering health spa facilities.

Pulaski day Vets speak out on Poles betrayed at Yalta Polish Visa waiver program outrage
see also :
Poland is a staunch U.S. ally, but it's not included in a program that waives visa requirements for visitors. Some argue this presents an expensive hurdle that keeps many from traveling to America.
Poles were betrayed at Yalta. Poles contribution to the fighting in WWII ignored Poles were not allowed to march at the Victory day parade.
PJB :But, in truth, Yalta was only the final betrayal of Poland, and not only FDR but Winston Churchill bears moral responsibility for a half-century of communist enslavement of the Polish people.
The first betrayal came with the British guarantee to Poland, after Neville Chamberlain was exposed as a dupe when Adolf Hitler tore up his Munich pact and marched into Prague. As Hitler pressed Poland for the return of Danzig, stripped from Germany after World War I, and demanded rail and road transit to the city across a “Polish Corridor” also taken from Germany, Warsaw, encouraged by British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax, refused even to negotiate. The Poles were assured that if war came, Britain would be at their side.
But when Hitler invaded Poland from the west and Stalin invaded from the east, Britain declared war on Germany alone. Then, the British sat behind the Maginot Line while Poland was crucified. The British had goaded the Poles into standing up to Hitler though they had no plans to save or rescue Poland. Six million Poles would die as a result of having trusted in a British alliance.
The second betrayal occurred at Teheran in 1943, when FDR moved into the Soviet embassy compound and assured Stalin he would not object to his keeping the half of Poland and the Baltic states Hitler had ceded to Stalin in their infamous pact. As Robert Nisbet wrote in “Roosevelt and Stalin: The Failed Courtship,” FDR asked only that word of his concession not leak out before the 1944 elections, so Polish Americans would not react in rage. FDR told one visitor to Hyde Park he was “sick and tired” of East Europeans and their constant clamoring about boundaries and sovereignties.
