Muzeum Pawilon-X (Block 10 Museum)
Housed in the Citadel, a solid 19th-century fortress northwest of the Old Town and overlooking the Vistula, this Warsaw museum was once used as a prison for political enemies of the Russian czars. The lucky inmates were shipped to labour camps in Siberia; the less fortunate were executed at Brama Straceń (Gate of Execution) on the prison grounds. The original cells are still standing and labelled with some of the prison's more famous residents, and paintings by Alexander Sochaczewski, a former inmate transported to Siberia with 20,000 other anti-Russian insurgents in the mid-19th century, adorn the walls.
Opening Times: Wed-Sun 0900-1600.
Admission Fees: Yes
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: Ulica Skazańców 25, Warsaw, Poland
Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego (Warsaw Rising Museum)
The Warsaw Rising Museum is a must-see for those with any interest in history and tales of bravery and self-sacrifice. In order to get a taste of what life in Warsaw must have been like for Varsovians during WWII, this thoroughly comprehensive museum shows examples of how residents resisted the German forces through film footage, photographs, recorded interviews, life-size dioramas, soundscapes and informative plaques, written in both Polish and English. Cityscape pictures pinpointing the handful of buildings that survived WWII are located on the museum's elevated viewing platform; they are a grim reminder of the destruction wrought by the Nazis on Warsaw.
Opening Times: Mon, Wed and Fri 0800-1800, Thurs 0800-2000, Sat-Sun 1000-1800.
Admission Fees: Yes
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: Ulica Przyokopowej 28, Warsaw, Poland
Muzeum Więzienia Pawiak (Pawiak Prison Museum)
This eerie old prison symbolises the oppression that has dogged Warsaw over the last two centuries. Originally built in 1839 at the order of the czar, the prison counted among its inmates many victims of the Nazi reign of terror from 1939 to1944, when it served as the largest political prison in Poland. A third of the estimated 100,000 detainees never made it out alive. The Nazis tried to dynamite the evidence of their crimes as they fled but Pawiak and its exhibits stand as a testament to Warsaw's seemingly endless ability to suffer and survive.
Opening Times: Wed and Fri 0900-1700, Thurs and Sat 0900-1600, Sun 1000-1600.
Admission Fees: Yes
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: Ulica Dzielna 24/26, Warsaw, Poland
Muzeum Narodowe w Warszawie (National Museum in Warsaw)
The National Museum's impressive collection of artworks and other items dates from ancient times to the present day and total some 800,000 pieces. Highlights include Jan Matejko's monumental Battle of Grunwald (1878), which celebrates the Polish victory over the Teutonic Knights in 1410, and the Faras Collection of early Christian and Egyptian art, which is unique in Europe. The collection of medieval art is also remarkable -- if somewhat gruesome in parts. Unusually, there are also galleries of Polish and European decorative arts. Frequent temporary exhibitions bring prized international works (from Andy Warhol to Caravaggio) to Warsaw.
Opening Times: Tues-Thurs, Sat-Sun 1200-1800, Fri 1200-2000.
Admission Fees: Yes (free on Tuesdays)
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: Aleje Jerozolimskie 3, Warsaw, Poland
Park Łazienkowski (Łazienki Park)

Pałac na Wyspie (Palace on the Water) is best viewed from near the monument to Jan Sobiewski, on the bridge where Ulica Agrykola crosses the water. Dating from 1624, Zamek Ujazdowski (Ujazdowski Castle) now houses the Centre for Contemporary Art. The 1764 Pałac Belweder (Belvedere Palace) was of the residence of Poland's presidents until 1994.

흐드러지게 피어있는 붉은 장미꽃이 새하얀 집과 한 폭의 그림이 되는 곳. 이곳이 쇼팽이 태어난 집이다. 1810년 2월 22일 따뜻한 차가 끓던 평온한 저녁 쇼팽의 탄생은 가족에게 얼마나 큰 축복이었을까? 나는 그의 집을 돌아보다 쇼팽이 진실로 사랑했던 유일한 여인 그의 어머니와 쇼팽의 사진에 시선이 멈춰졌다. 유달리 몸이 약했다는 쇼팽의 가냘픈 얼굴이 거울 속에서 나를 보고 있는 것 같았다. 새하얀 커튼에 스며드는 햇살을 받으며 들어선 곳, 쇼팽의 방에는 그의 손길이 묻어있는 피아노가 있다. 건반을 만지며 노느라 시간을 보냈다는 쇼팽의 어린 모습이 어땠을까 궁금했다. 7살, 고사리 손으로 그렸다는 폴란드의 음악 폴로네즈 그 손을 가만히 지켜보았을 어머니 내 가슴속에 두 모자의 사랑이 잔잔히 울린다.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Poland.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. Poland was the only European country which never officially collaborated with the Nazis at any level, and no Polish units fought alongside the Nazi army. Poland never officially surrendered to Germany, and the Polish Resistance movement in German-occupied Poland during World War II was the largest resistance movement in Europe.
2. Marie Curie (Manya Sklodowska) was born in Warsaw (Warszawa), Poland, on November 7, 1867. She moved to Paris in early 1880 and married Frenchman Pierre Curie in 1895. With her husband, she discovered the elements polonium (Po), named after her native Poland, in the summer of 1898 and, soon thereafter, radium (Ra). She is credited for coining the term “radioactivity”.
Nicolaus Copernicus (Mikołaj Kopernik) was born in 1473 in Toruń (Thorn), Poland. he later wrote down in De revolutionibus orbium coelestium; its revolutionary contention was that the sun, not Earth, was the center of the planetary system. The work was published by church authorities in Nuremberg in 1543, the year Copernicus died.
In October 1978, the Bishop of Kraków, Poland, Cardinal Karol Józef Wojtyla, became Pope John Paul II, the 264th head of the Roman Catholic Church on October 16, 1978 at 5:15 p.m.
Frédéric François Chopin (Fryderyk Franciszek Szopen), is Poland’s most famous composer. Chopin was born in Żelazowa Wola, Poland, in 1810.
3. Geographically, Poland is not actually in Eastern Europe – it is in fact in the very centre of Europe.
4. Nearly 35% of the 60 million Poles live abroad and large Polish speaking communities can be found in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Australia, Brazil and Argentina. Polish has the second largest number of speakers among the Slavic languages after Russian.
5. Poland has a desert: the Bledow Desert. It’s an oddity in such a lush countryside. In the 13th century, the forest here was felled to foster silver and lead mining. It revealed a hitherto hidden deep layer of sand, deposited by waters flowing from melting glaciers perhaps a century before. Humankind's destruction of native plant life, in league with the natural deposit of sand, created the desert.
6. Paradoxically, Warsaw’s Old Town is only 50 years old. During the Invasion of Poland (1939), much of the district was badly damaged by the German Luftwaffe. Immediately after the Warsaw Uprising (August–October 1944) what had been left standing was systematically blown up by the German Army. After World War II, the Old Town was meticulously rebuilt.
7. Some of the first shots fired during the WWII took place in Gdansk – Westerplatte. The first cannon shots of WW2 fell here from a German Battleship in the Baltic Sea. There is a monument there in honour of the Polish solders that stood for seven days against the German’s attack.

Excursions from Warsaw
Kampinoski Park Narodowy (Kampinoski National Park)
Kampinoski National Park, with walking trails, education centre and abundant wildlife, begins at Warsaw's northwestern border and stretches west for about 40km (25 miles). One of its major features is its inland sand dunes, which stand in stark contrast to the surrounding peat bogs. The park is open from dawn to dusk and admission is free. Reach it by bus from the central station, Warszawa Zachodnia, Aleje Jerozolimskie 144.
Toruń
This UNESCO World Heritage walled medieval town is where the 16th century astronomer and mathematician Mikolaj Kopernik (Copernicus) was born. Picturesque pathways along the Vistula River lead to the ruins of the 13th-century castle of the Teutonic Knights; the gothic townhouse where Copernicus was born is located at Ulica Kopernika 17. The city is 227km (141 miles) northwest of Warsaw and can be reached by train from Warszawa Centralna station in three hours.
Zelazowa Wola
This tiny village 54km (34 miles) west of Warsaw is where the great composer Frédéric Chopin was born in 1810. A museum dedicated to him is located in his family's manor house. Żelazowa Wola is located inside Kampinoski National Park and can be reached by bus from the main station, Warszawa Zachodnia, Aleje Jerozolimskie 144. Both Mazurkas Travel and Polish Landscape offer day trips here from the major hotels in Warsaw.
Łódź
This somewhat gritty city-- it's pronounced `wooch - located 140km (87 miles) southwest of Warsaw, hides a treasure trove of palatial mansions, art nouveau public buildings and museums. By all means, visit the vanguard art galleries but the Central Museum of Textiles in an early 19th-century spinning mill is where the city's heart lies and the Jewish Quarter is worth a stroll around. Frequent trains form Warsaw complete the journey between 2-12 hours.

이제 나는 잠코비 광장에 위치한 폴란드의 왕궁을 찾았다. 1596년 크라쿠프에서 수도를 옮겨와 지어진 이 왕궁은 2차 세계 대전 당시 나치에 의해 완전히 파괴되었던 것을 재건한 것이라고 한다. 왕궁의 정문 앞에는 2차 대전 당시의 상황을 보여주는 충격적인 사진 한 장이 전시돼 있다. 나치에 의해 문 하나만 남은 채 완전히 파괴되고 불태워진 폴란드왕궁의 사진. 문화재의 거의 대부분이 약탈당하고 불 타 없어져 ,전쟁의 아픔을 고스란히 담고 있는 이 왕궁은, 그러나 전쟁이 끝난 후, 국내외 동포들의 성금으로 벽돌 한 장에서 문고리 하나까지도 옛 모습 그대로 다시 태어날 수 있었다. 왕궁 앞 광장엔 수도를 바르샤바로 옮겨오며 폴란드의 부흥을 꿈꾸었던 지그문트 3세의 동상이 도심을 굽어보며 서 있다.
