What to do in WARSAW Poland.
Warsaw Poland is a massive international city. If you're looking for things to do in the city we got you covered. We start out in old town and eventually head to the indoor market called Hala Koszyki. After that.. we head over to a back alley hidden gem full of street vendors and local watering holes.

Warsaw is a mixture of relaxing green spaces, historic sites and vivid modernity. Discover the charming Old Town, Wilanów Palace and amazing Lazienki Park, where you can watch free Chopin concerts every Sunday during the summer. Experience a few of the dozens of interactive museums, including the Warsaw Uprising Museum, the Museum of the History of Polish Jews and the Copernicus Science Centre. For exciting nightlife, visit the vibrant Vistula boulevards and upscale clubs.
The outbreak of WWII brought with it new suffering, however. Occupied by Nazi Germany, Warsaw saw the majority of its 350,000-strong Jewish population die in the ghetto or killed in the gas chambers of Treblinka. With liberation in sight the Polish population rose against occupying German forces in the 1944 Uprising. Expected help from the West never materialised, and Soviet tanks looked on from the other side of the Wisła as the full weight of the Nazi army crushed the rebellion. The Uprising cost the lives of 150,000 civilians, and what remained of the city was systematically dynamited.
But that was then, this is now. Combining elements of both East and West this is a town of complex character and hidden appeal. The dark, negative images of yesteryear no longer apply as the city moves boldly forward - dynamic and developing. Changes have been meteoric, and the city now hums with energy and optimism. Whether you are here to explore the cobbled streets of the Old Town, enjoy world-class dining, or lose yourself in some of Europe’s best bars, you’ll hardly be disappointed by all that modern Warsaw has to offer, and Warsaw In Your Pocket is the best tool for discovering it.

Getto Żydowskie (Jewish Ghetto)
What is markedly absent from Warsaw contributes as much to its history as anything that has been preserved or reconstructed. Pre-war Warsaw had a Jewish population second only to New York. After the Nazi invasion, some 450,000 Jews were rounded up and forced into the city's so-called ghetto. A 3m (10ft) wall encircled the area, from the Palace of Culture and Science to the Umschlagplatz monument, at the corner of Ulica Stawki and Ulica Dzika. This stark monument marks the place from where Jews were despatched by train to the Treblinka concentration camp, following the Ghetto Uprising of 19 April 1943. Only three sections of the actual wall remain.
Admission Fees: No
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: Jewish Ghetto, Warsaw, Poland
Pałac Kultury I Nauki (Palace of Culture and Science)
Varsovians are divided over this prime example of Socialist Realism. For decades , it was, at 231m (758ft), the tallest building in Poland and a reminder of Stalin's bravura - it was a gift from him to the city, built between 1952 and 1955. Detractors still reckon that the best views of the city are from the top of the structure since it is the only place in Warsaw where you cannot see the Palace of Culture and Science. The viewing platform on the 30th floor at 115m (377ft) does indeed give a terrific view over Warsaw. Besides offices, the building houses a concert hall, a multiscreen cinema, three theatres and two museums.
Opening Times: Daily 0900-2000.
Admission Fees: No (charge for the observation deck)
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: Plac Defilad 1, Warsaw, Poland
Zamek Królewski (Royal Castle)
Walking through the Royal Castle, you have to remind yourself constantly that most of it was reconstructed between 1971 and 1984, although the darker elements of the décor were salvaged from the ruins. The castle, located on a plateau overlooking the Vistula River, was built for the Dukes of Mazovia and expanded when King Zygmunt III Vasa (Waza) moved the capital to Warsaw. From the early 17th until the late 18th century, this was the seat of the Polish kings. It subsequently housed the parliament and is now a museum displaying tapestries, period furniture, funerary portraits and collections of porcelain and other decorative arts.
Opening Times: Tues-Sat 1000-1600, Sun 1100-1600.
Admission Fees: Yes (free on Sun)
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: Plac Zamkovy 4, Warsaw, Poland
Pałac w Wilanowie (Wilanów Palace)
In the mid-1600s, King Jan III Sobieski commissioned Augustyn Locci to build the baroque palace and garden of Wilanów for his summer residence. Construction continued from 1677 until the king's death in 1696. Called Vila Nova in Italian (from which the Polish name is derived), it remained popular with subsequent monarchs. Visitors can tour the interior and the gallery, which features portraits of famous Poles. Artistic handicrafts are on display in the Orangerie. Also here is the Muzeum Plakatu (Poster Museum), the first of its kind in the world. Poles have excelled in the poster arts since at least the end of WWII.
Opening Times: Mon, Wed and Sat 0930-1830, Tues, Thurs and Fri 0930-1630, Sun 1030-1830 (May-mid-Sep); Mon and Wed-Sat 0930-1630, Sun 1030-1630 (mid-Sep-May).
Admission Fees: Yes (free admission to the park on Thurs and the palace on Sun)
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: Ulica Wiertnicza 1, Warsaw, Poland
Salonik Chopinów (Chopin Family Drawing Room)
Frédéric Chopin only lived in Warsaw until he was 20 years old, but he is the city's most respected local boy. This drawing room or parlour, in his family's former home, is open to the public; the great composer's heart is interred in a pillar at the Parish Church of the Holy Cross (Kościół Parafialny Znalezienia Świętego Krzyża) next door. His body, however, lies in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. There is also the new and very high-tech Muzeum Fryderyka Chopina, located in Ostrogski Castle, with exhibits on the different phases of his life and career.
Opening Times: Mon-Fri 1000-1400.
Admission Fees: Yes
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: Ulica Krakowskie Przedmieście 5, Warsaw, Poland

Auschwitz Day Trip from Krakow
A visit to the Auschwitz concentration camp is a deeply dispiriting experience, but for many, a must when in Krakow. It is estimated that well over a million people were killed here, the majority of them Jews, alongside many tens of thousands of Poles, Roma, prisoners of war, and others. We offer private or group day trips there as part of our comprehensive vacation packages for people interested in Poland and its neighbors.

Schwebebahn or floating tram. One of the city’s greatest attractions is the globally unique suspended monorail Wuppertaler Schwebebahn, which was established in 1901. The tracks are 8 m (26.25 ft) above the streets and 12 m (39.37 ft) above the Wupper. In 1950, a young elephant named Tuffi was forced to ride the Wuppertal Schwebebahn (monorail), as a promotion for the Althoff Circus. The swinging tram upset the elephant, and she trumpeted, charged, and plummeted 40 feet into the river below. Tuffi suffered minor injuries; she lived until 1989. In 1999, the Schwebebahn had its thus far only fatal accident.

Railway station at Bełżec

The below film shows the railway station at Bełżec, filmed in June 2013. In the film I describe what happened here during 1942 when the nearby death camp killed at least 434,000 people. The station itself however is much older and as it was a border station had facilities which were much greater than its passenger and goods traffic would require. Today the station operates only very limited services. I also describe my first visit here in November 1995.
The Nazi death camp at Bełżec operated from 16 March 1942 until July 1943 although mass killings stopped at the end of November 1942. During this short time, at least 434,000 people were killed here, not only the Jewish population of the Lublin district and Galicia but also people were brought here from other countries including Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia.
It was here that the Jewish populations of such large communities such as Lublin, Kraków and Lwów were brought to be murdered. In this film we can see the names of the towns where the victims came from.
Bełżec was chosen due to the access from various railway lines there. It was formerly a border point between Austria to the south and the Russian Empire to the north until the Treaty of Versailles placed it in Poland. The early twentieth century engine sheds which had been built to house Austrian locomotives were used to store the possessions of the victims.
Killing was done via what appears to have been an engine from a Soviet BT tank in gas chambers which were little more than garden sheds with two walls with the interior filled with sand. The bodies were buried in massive pits dug by a group of around 500 prisoners who were replaced as they grew weaker. The SS garrison was only around 20 - 30 people supported by around 200 auxilliaries made up largely of former Soviet POWs.
The first victims came from the Lublin ghetto with around 1,600 - 2,000 people being killed every day but later this was stepped up as the wave of killings took in other towns in the region.
After the killings stopped in November 1942, a group of POWs stayed behind to dig up the bodies and burn them on three or four pyres - work that took until the summer of 1943 when the SS decided that they had had enough and stopped the work. This is why some mass graves were not opened. The prisoners were then sent to Sobibór where they were murdered.
