Clustered around a wiggling bend in the mighty Vistula River, Poland’s capital forms the country’s bustling economic hub. It’s noticeably less historic than its compadres to the north and south, and has undergone massive rebuilding projects since nigh on total destruction during World War Two—a fact that’s left its proud locals to claim it as the forefront of this burgeoning country’s modernistic drive. Consequently, downtown Warsaw is a tooting, traffic sea of New York-esque roadways and cosmopolitan coffee shops, where suited bankers stroll between crowds of beer-drinking locals, and Art Nouveau rises loom over the iconic parks. Don’t miss the Palace of Culture, or the Łazienki gardens, with their glorious monuments and curiously Oriental vibe. Further afield, the exquisite palatial grounds of Wilanów stand a stone’s throw from the Vistula banks, hearkening back to a time when the ditties of Chopin still echoed throughout the town. Eager visitors should also ask their Warsaw tourist guide for tips on the Old Town hub that lingers, reconstructed to the north end of town, and the countless hidden side streets leading away from it, which can be found laden with the baroque rises of the Borch Palace and Collegium Nobilium, and peppered with the crumbling remnants of the infamous ghetto wall.

OUR GUIDES’ RECOMMENDATIONS

People like you orange umbrella tours.

I’ve been on many free walking tours all across Europe and today’s Old Town tour with Goska was by far one of the best I’ve been on! Much better than the one in Krakow I did a few days ago with the main competitor. Goska was a very informative guide and in contrast with other guides, it didn’t sound like she was just going through all her facts and knowledge, but really brought it like if you are visiting the Old Town with a local that is your friend. She also brought pictures to illustrate her stories and added some personal notes. I highly recommend the free tours with Orange Umbrella and very much looking forward to the Jewish Warsaw tour I’m going to join tomorrow.

I love Orange Umbrella! We lived in Warsaw for more than 2 years and often used or recommended these tours to friends and family members. The guides are always locals and friendly. They provide a unique perspective about Warsaw’s history! Definitely recommended! And nice to give a tip at the end for the guide’s good work!

gerberagirl76, Great Britain

Anna and Gawel are very prepared and friendly guides. The tours we have followed (“old town” and “jewesh warsaw”) have made us discover and appreciate the many events, aspects and curiosities of the city to which we are fond of. Walking along the streets with their guide is a real pleasure and a real discovery. We highly recommend it for the quality of the guides and the knowledge you can acquire

We did three tours with them — old town tour with Beata, Jewish heritage tour with Gawel, and alternate Warsaw with Joanna who took us to Praga. They were all amazing, full of wonderful stories about Warsaw. No stop at a cafe or souvenir shop and buy this or that – just content based tour that we really enjoyed. Very smart way to see and learn about Warsaw. And, getting some local tips. Highly recommended!!

For the Warsaw at war free orange umbrella walking tour we had Piotr and he was fabulous. The passion that he spoke of in the pride for him to be Polish made me proud to be in an ancestral country. He let us take our time and gave us a few moments when it was overwhelming and sad like at the ghetto wall. Could’ve listen to him all day. So interesting so passionate about everything that he was teaching us. Read the trip advisor reviews before I went I was so excited to have Piotr. He lived up to their reviews. And exceeded it in some areas. I gave 100 zlotys as a donation. Well worth it thank you Piotr also went on the old town walking tour. Both tours were fabulous and incredible amount to history in these countries that needs to be shared. Polish people are very proud of people and it shows in everything they do.

travellersmith2015, Canada

We did 3 tours with Orange Umbrella. They were all excellent. Our first tour of Old town was with “Kate”. She has a wonderful understanding of her subject matter. Next, we did a tour with Gawel who was very informative. I think that tour was about WWII. And then, we did a tour about the Jews in Warsaw again, with Kate. I highly recommend this tour company. It was recommended to me and I’ll pass on the recommendation.

hikingnana, USA

I’m so glad I decided to do the old town walking tour, Gosia was a fantastic guide. Either you travel alone or in a group these walking tours are really a must do in Warsaw. I learned so many things about the city, its history, the habits and so many more… Everything is totally different when you see it with a local’s eye, I was so excited that I also had the alternative Praga tour, which was great as well! I had so fun! Thanks a lot Gosia and Piotr, keep on doing this excellent work! George from Greece

yiorgos160, Georgia

A ‘must’ for the short-time visitor to the city. My wife and I are sure that all the guides from Orange Umbrella are good at their roles but felt extremely lucky to have had Beata as our guide – she was excellant. The morning tour of the Old Town was so good – with local knowledge plus the history – put-over so well that we joined the later afternoon tour with the same guide. The afternoon tour, titled WWII in Warsaw, maintained thesame high standard. We were extremely grateful. The tours are billed as ‘free’ and they are, but we beieve that a tip at the end should be measured to the satisfaction gained. Well-done Beata. A gem.

DavidB027, Great Britain

Went on several, all amazing! Would recommend 100% if you want to learn and see the city. The guides are great.

15 Best Warsaw Tours

With a population of nearly two million residents, Warsaw is the largest city in Poland and the seventh-largest in the European Union.

Located in the east-central portion of the country along the scenic Vistula River, and is also the capital of the Mazowieckie Province.

The city is full of old-world charm, abundant historical sites, vibrant art and food scenes, and some of the most stunning natural beauty in the area.

For first-time visitors and those who’ve been before, there are a variety of tour options to fit travelers of nearly all ages and interests.

Below are 15 of the best tours of Warsaw.

1. 3-Hour Communism Tour in an Original Socialist Van

For much of the 20th century, Poland was held firmly in the grips of the Soviet Union behind the infamous Iron Curtain, and some of the city’s most prominent attractions harken back to its communist past.

From the relative comfort of a Soviet-era Nysa 522 van, guests and their guide will depart on an intriguing excursion into Polish history.

The tour gets underway at Constitution Square and includes other attractions, like the Palace of Culture and Science and the United Workers’ Party Headquarters.

Tours begin mid-morning, include round-trip transportation, and hefty doses of culture, art, architecture, and shameless propaganda as well.

2. Christmas Tour

Warsaw really seems to hit its stride during the holiday season. For those who find themselves in the capital city in December, it’s awash with lights, decorations, music, and vendors selling every manner of Christmas trinkets.

Tours begin mid-afternoon and start at the Nowy Świat, which is one of Warsaw’s most beloved and photographed streets.

Tour guests will get a street-level view of attractions like the Old Town Christmas Market, hear interesting stories about historic areas and famous city residents like Frederic Chopin, and sample a variety of local treats like Polish donuts and cherry liquor at a comfortable bar.

View Prices & Reviews

3. 3-Hour Car Tour of Jewish Warsaw

In the years leading up to World War II, Jews made up a significant portion of Warsaw’s population, but that percentage was reduced significantly as residents were shipped to concentration camps in the country.

On this three-hour tour, travelers interested in Jewish history will walk the streets once frequented by famous residents, and get glimpses into what life was like in the peaceful years before the war.

Tours include the services of an expert local guide, stops at one of the only synagogues to escape destruction in the war, ethnic Jewish neighborhoods, and the Museum of the History of Polish Jews.

4. 3 ½-Hour Beer Tour

It’s a little known fact, but according to nameless statisticians, Poland is one of the top five beer consuming nations in Europe.

It’s also home to hundreds of small-batch and craft breweries, and many of them are located in the capital city of Warsaw.

That means lots of opportunities to sample great brews, like on this guided 3 ½-hour tour of some of the city’s best microbreweries.

Each tour makes three stops at trendy and traditional restaurants and bars, where guests will chat with locals, learn how to appreciate beer’s nuances, and sample nearly a dozen distinct varieties paired with tasty food.

5. Chopin’s Life Tour with Live Concert

Classical musician and composer Frederic Chopin spent much of his early life in Warsaw, and this 2 ½-hour walking tour explores many of the places he frequented.

Along with their knowledgeable and enthusiastic local guide, music lovers will set out on foot to learn about Chopin’s formative years.

Tour centerpieces include the Holy Cross Church, King’s Castle Square, and a church where he played as a boy.

Each tour ends with a magnificent one-hour concert which takes place in an intimate hall inside King’s Castle.

Tours last about 2 ½ hours and begin in the late afternoon.

6. Warsaw Praga Tour

This Praga culture tour packs a big punch because it incorporates many of the elements that make Warsaw such a unique and alluring place.

Praga is known as a center for art and culture in the city but is most well-known for its amazing murals and statues—some of which were done by creative local children.

You’ll also visit a Jewish bathhouse, an impressive Orthodox church and Catholic cathedral.

7. Shooting Range

Shooting military-grade guns in foreign countries is gobs of fun, and this shooting range experience is appropriate for everyone, from beginners to seasoned special-forces operatives and battle-hardened mercenaries.

Before the fun begins, everyone will get a thorough overview of the high points of firearm safety and get fitted with eye and ear protection.

Then under the watchful eye of a trained professional, it’ll be time to let loose with a variety of handguns and rifles.

Favorites include the venerable AK-47, America’s M16, and handguns like Glocks and heavy-duty magnum revolvers.

Expect an adrenaline-filled few hours before heading off to other adventures.

8. 4-Hour Polish Food Tour

To the uninitiated, Polish food is generally associated with pierogies, sausages, and lots of cabbage and potatoes.

Though they’re all traditional staples, they’re just the tip of the iceberg, because Warsaw’s culinary roots run much deeper.

On this four-hour food tour, guests and their guide will stray from the well-worn path and savor a number of dishes that aren’t usually served at typical tourist haunts.

Each tour stops at between four and six hand-picked establishments, where happy eaters will meet locals, learn little-known tidbits of Polish culture, and sample both sweet and savory delicacies and fiery local Vodka.

9. 90-Minute Guided Electric Scooter Tour of Old Town

For those who want to see Warsaw’s sights without wasting time crammed into a tour bus or expending too much energy, E-scooters are definitely the way to go.

They’re non-polluting means of transportation that are fun, safe, and able to cover lots of ground quickly.

On this 1 ½-hour tour, riders will explore the Old Town area, learn about the city’s history, and get lots of great suggestions for things to see and do on their own once the tour is over.

Tours meet at a central location, start just after lunch, and are appropriate for those of most ages.

10. Behind the Scenes Retro Minibus City Tour

Warsaw’s abundant historic attractions usually occupy most of visitors’ vacation time, but for those interested in experiencing parts of the city that usually get overlooked, this funky retro minibus tour would be a great fit.

It’s a small-group excursion, which means a more intimate and memorable experience. Along with their guide, guests will explore attractions that don’t often grace the pages of most guidebooks.

Tours include pre-war, Soviet-era, and contemporary sites that give first-time visitors unique insights into the city’s culture, geography, and multi-layered past.

Hotel pick-up is also an option, and tours include snacks and light refreshments.

11. Concentration Camp Tour from Warsaw

Located just 60 miles from Warsaw, Treblinka was the Nazi extermination camp where many Polish Jews lost their lives during the Second World War.

Treblinka operated between mid-July 1942 and the end of October 1943. All told, more than 800,000 European Jews died there.

It’s one of the country’s most disturbing and emotional attractions, but well worth a visit for history and military buffs.

This tour begins and ends in Warsaw, includes the services of an officially licensed guide and visits to some poignant sites. Entrance fees are a modest additional cost, so bring a few extra bucks.

12. Second World War Tour

Poland was ground zero for many significant events in World War II.

By some estimates, nearly 90% of the city was destroyed during the war. On this tour, guests will follow their guide’s lead and head into the rebuilt city on a fascinating World War II centered excursion.

Few places suffered as much as Warsaw during those dark years, and the city is now full of national memorials and monuments, which make up the tour’s highlights.

Tours end with a visit to the Warsaw Uprising Museum, which tends to be one of the most touching and heart-rending experiences of many visitors’ trips.

Everything is included except food, tips, and personal expenses.

13. Private Wilanow Palace and Garden Tour

Often referred to as Little Versailles, Wilanow Palace is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful examples of architecture in all of Warsaw.

Unlike many of the city’s historic structures, it survived World Wars I, II, and the partition of the country after the Second World War.

Back in the day, the palace was an opulent summer home for King John III and was built in the baroque style so popular with royal residences.

On this three-hour tour, guests and their guide will explore the palace and impressive French-inspired gardens, and discuss the interesting histories that go along with them.

14. 2-Hour Off-Road Super Segway Tour

Though they’re most commonly seen on paved surfaces, Segways are more than capable of going off-road.

On this two-hour nature tour, participants will first meet their guide and get a crash-course in how to use their gravity-defying two-wheeled machines for maximum safety and enjoyment.

Then it’ll be time to head into the wild to explore parts of the countryside known for their natural beauty.

Tour highlights include idyllic stretches of the Vistula River, old-growth forests, and the chance to see a variety of local wildlife species in their natural environment.

Tours start in the late morning and begin and end in Warsaw.

15. Discover the Secrets of Polish Liqueurs

Though Poland is most well-known as a beer-drinking nation, it’s also home to a large variety of tasty spirits.

On this polish liqueurs tour, guests will sample many types of intoxicating beverages, including Nalewki, which is infused with some delicious extracts from things like fruit, spices, honey, and flowers.

According to legend, they contain a number of therapeutic properties, so tour participants need not fret if they imbibe more than they normally would, because it’s all for good health and long life.

Guests will also meet locals, discover traditional distilling recipes, and enjoy light snacks.

Warsaw Travel Guide

Last Updated: September 1, 2023

Warsaw is a bustling, revitalized city that has cast off the long shadow of communism. While a lot of grim, gray architecture remains, I found Warsaw to be a lively place with plenty to keep you busy. There’s a growing culinary scene, a wild nightlife, and lots of budget-friendly activities in (and around) the city.

Stroll down the boulevards, explore the wealth of Chopin’s music, admire traditional art pieces, and soak up this modern city — all for a fraction of what you’d pay in Western Europe!

While Krakow gets all the attention, I really enjoyed my time in Warsaw.

This travel guide to Warsaw will help you plan your trip, save money, and make the most of your visit!

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Warsaw

1. Wander the Old Town

The streets of the Old Town offer a nice contrast to the modern, bustling city that surrounds them. The area suffered heavy damage during World War II so many of the medieval buildings have been reconstructed, but it’s nevertheless a great place to start your trip. The Old Town is also a UNESCO World Heritage. Start in the colorful Old Town Market Square and go from there. You have tons of choices when it comes to museums and historical sites; the Royal Castle is located here, as is the Museum of Warsaw.

2. Explore the Chopin Museum

Frederic Chopin (1810-1849) is one of the most famous composers in history and his works can still be heard in concert halls across the globe. Chopin grew up in Warsaw before the November Uprising of 1830 and this museum provides an overview of his life and work. Admission is 23 PLN and is free on Wednesdays. This museum is temporarily closed for renovations until April 2023.

3. See the Royal Castle

Located at the entrance to the Old Town, the Royal Castle was the former residence of the Polish monarchs. Construction began in 1598 and lasted over 20 years. The castle was partially destroyed (and looted) by the Nazis in 1939 and then was almost completely destroyed in 1944 during World War II under direct orders from Hitler. It has since undergone extensive restoration and is now a museum and home to royal apartments, paintings, and an ornate interior design. Admission is 40 PLN and is free on Wednesdays.

4. Learn about the Warsaw Uprising

Opened in 2004, this museum is home to hundreds of artifacts from the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, when Polish citizens rebelled against German occupation. The uprising lasted 63 days and was the largest resistance during World War II. Some 15,000 members of the Polish resistance were killed, as well as 2,000-17,000 German troops. The museum has tons of clothing, letters, and interactive films. Admission is 25 PLN.

5. Wander around the Lazienki Park

Designed in the 17th century, this park is home to a small palace that sits on an artificial island. There are several pavilions, an amphitheater, and lots of places to sit, relax, and enjoy the day. It takes a long time to stroll around and is beautiful when the sun is shining. Bring a book, pack a picnic, and lounge the day away!

Other Things to See and Do in Warsaw

1. take a free walking tour.

One of the best things you can do when you arrive in a new city is to take a walking tour. It’s a great way to get the lay of the land and learn about the culture, people, and history of the destination. Orange Umbrella offers daily free tours that provide much more insight than any guidebook. Plus, you can connect with an expert local guide who can answer all your questions. Just be sure to tip your guide at the end!

2. Visit the Powazki Cemetery

Established in 1790, this cemetery is the final resting place of many important figures in Polish history, including the family of Frederic Chopin (he is buried in Paris, though his heart was brought back to Poland when he died in 1849), some of Chopin’s early teachers, Krzysztof Komeda (a famous jazz composer), and Nobel Prize winner Wladyslaw Reymontamong others. It’s the city’s oldest cemetery and the sculptures and architecture surrounding the tombs are both serene and eerie. It makes for a quiet place for a stroll.

3. Admire St. Anne’s Church

St. Anne’s Church (Kosciol Swietej Anny) is one of Warsaw’s oldest buildings. Construction started in 1454 and the building has survived several wars (the roof was destroyed a few times but the rest has remained intact). The Neo-Classical facade dates to the 1780s and the interior is lavishly designed in the High-Baroque style. There are also some stunning hand-painted frescoes inside as well. Admission is free but dress respectfully as it is a place of worship.

4. Tour the Gestapo Headquarters Museum

Officially known as the Mausoleum of Struggle and Martyrdom, this museum focuses on the conflict between the Polish resistance and the Gestapo. It has a profound exhibit that takes you through the old detention cells which were used to hold and torture prisoners. Prisoners were subjected to beatings, attacked with dogs, and even electrocuted. And if they didn’t cooperate, their family would be brought in and tortured before their very eyes. It’s a sobering place but one that shouldn’t be missed. Admission is free.

5. Visit the Museum of Modern Art

Established in 2005 and located only a short walk from the Central Railway Station, this small museum features contemporary art by Polish and international artists. I’m not much of a modern art fan, but there are some cool exhibitions here as well as some thought-provoking art. Admission is just 15 PLN and there are regular guided tours in English. Check the website for more details, including what temporary exhibits are available.

6. Check out the National Museum

This museum is one of the largest in the country. It boasts a substantial collection of ancient art (including 11,000 pieces of Greek, Egyptian, and Roman works), Medieval art, Polish paintings, sculptures, works from international artists, and a collection of Chinese art with over 5,000 pieces. They also have some paintings from Adolf Hitler’s private collection. Admission to both the permanent and temporary galleries is 20 PLN and guided tours are 300 PLN.

7. Relax in Multimedia Fountain Park

The Multimedia Fountain Park is comprised of two fountains that spray water in choreographed patterns to music. One fountain is a massive 2,200 square meters, and the other is 120 meters in length. Kids can play in a nearby water playground and watch the water shoot into the air to the music, which varies from Chopin to Lady Gaga. Each Friday and Saturday night in the summer, there is a light show to accompany the waterworks (in the winter it’s just a light show since the water is frozen). It’s a popular spot in the summer so expect crowds.

8. Tour the Copernicus Science Center

The Copernicus Science Center, named after the famous Polish astronomer and polymath, is one of the most modern science centers in Europe (it was Copernicus who first suggested the sun, not the Earth, was at the center of the universe). Located on the bank of the Vistula River, it has over 450 interactive exhibits, allowing visitors to take part in all sorts of experiments involving light, sounds, electricity, and more. It’s a great place to visit with kids. There’s a planetarium here as well. Admission is 37 PLN on weekdays and 39 PLN on weekends and holidays.

9. Visit the POLIN

The Museum of the History of Polish Jews is a new museum with both permanent and temporary exhibitions as well as performances and workshops about Jewish history and culture. The museum documents the history of the Jews in Poland from the Middle Ages to the present. Over 90% of the Jewish population in Poland was killed by the Nazis in World War II and the museum was built on the spot where the Warsaw Ghetto was located (be sure to take a walking tour of the area to learn more about the Warsaw Ghetto and the fate of Jews in Poland during the World War II). Admission is 30 PLN and entry is free on Thursday.

10. Visit the Palace of Culture and Science

This is the most iconic building in the city, dominating the city skyline and looming over the city. It’s the tallest building in Poland, home to 42 floors, theaters, a multi-screen cinema, museums, and much more. The building was a “gift” to Poland from the Soviet Union in 1955 and many people want to demolish it for that reason (Poland suffered heavily under Stalin). It offers a great view of the city from the 30th floor (there is an observation deck there which is free to access with the Warsaw Pass; it’s 25 PLN without it). Access to the building is free.

Budget hotel prices – A double bed in a budget hotel with free Wi-Fi and a TV costs around 275 PLN per night. Many include a simple free breakfast as well.

Food – Polish meals are quite hearty, usually containing potatoes, meat (pork and chicken), and seasonal produce like beets or cabbage. Stews and soups (like borscht, a beet soup) are popular and can be found at most local restaurants. Pierogis are also a common staple and can be found everywhere for cheap. For some traditional Polish food, try beef tongue or pork knuckles. The country also has lots of traditional desserts too, like paczki (a Polish donut) and makowiec (poppy-seed cake).

Most cheap meals of traditional cuisine (served at local restaurants called bar mleczny or “milk bars”) cost around 35 PLN. For a three-course meal with a drink and table service, expect to pay 90 PLN. Fast food (think McDonald’s) costs 26 PLN for a combo meal.

Beer costs around 14 PLN while a latte or cappuccino is around 13 PLN. Bottled water is 6 PLN.

If you buy groceries and cook your own meals, expect to pay around 165 PLN per week for basic staples like pasta, rice, seasonal vegetables, and some meat. The cheapest grocery store is Biedronka, which you can find almost everywhere. Outdoor markets are also a great and cheap place to get fresh produce and other local products.

Backpacking Warsaw Suggested Budgets

On a backpacker budget of 185 PLN per day, you can stay in a hostel dorm, cook all your meals, limit your drinking, take public transportation to get around, and do some cheap activities like free walking tours and visiting the free museums. If you plan on drinking, add 15-30 PLN to your budget per day.

On a mid-range budget of 375 PLN per day, you can stay in a private Airbnb or private hostel room, eat out more at cheap milk bars, enjoy a couple of drinks, take the occasional taxi to get around, and do more paid activities like visiting the Uprising Museum.

On a “luxury” budget of 725 PLN or more per day, you can stay in a hotel, eat out anywhere you want, drink more, take more taxis, and do whatever guided tours and activities you want. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

You can use the chart below to get some idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages — some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in PLN.

Warsaw Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

Warsaw is an affordable city so there aren’t too many tips out there to help you save money. That said, here are a few ways you can save money while you visit Warsaw:

• Eat at Milk Bars – If you’re eating out, stick to the mleczny (milk bar). These are no-frills and cafeteria-style where you order from a counter, but it’s a great way to save money and take in the scene. Expect plates of hearty pierogis, homemade soups, plenty of meat, and a local beer for around 35 PLN.
• Get the Warsaw Pass – For 119 PLN, the single-day Warsaw Pass provides free public transportation and access to all of the city’s main attractions. It’s a great deal if you plan on seeing a lot. There is also a two-day pass for 159 PLN and a three-day pass for 189 PLN.
• Watch your drinking – Warsaw is known for its partying and pub crawls and long nights out. While booze is cheap here, nights out can add up quickly. Start off by grabbing your favorite drinks from a grocery store first whenever possible. You’ll save a ton compared to the bar.
• Take a free walking tour – Free tours from companies like Orange Umbrella are a great way to explore the city while learning about its history, culture, and architecture. Just be sure to tip!
• Use ridesharing apps – Ridesharing apps like BlaBlaCar are a great way to get around the country for cheap. You simply download the app, find someone looking for passengers, and go! Everyone is rated and verified and it’s usually more convenient (and cheaper) than other forms of transportation. For travel within the city, use Uber. It is cheaper than the local taxis if you’re leaving the city to explore.
• Stay with a local – While accommodation is not expensive in Warsaw, Couchsurfing is a great way to lower your accommodation costs. Not only will you save some money by getting a free place to stay but you’ll also be able to make a local friend and get insider knowledge about the city!
• Bike share – For 10 PLN, you can register with the bike-share company Vetrulio. After you sign up, bike use is free for 20 minutes, making it essentially free to bounce around the city during your visit. After 20 minutes, it’s just 1 PLN for the first hour and 3 PLN for the next hour.
• Bring a water bottle – The tap water in Warsaw is safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. LifeStraw is my go-to brand as their bottles have built in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.

Where to Stay in Warsaw

Warsaw has a handful of hostels in town and they’re all comfortable, safe, and sociable. Here are my suggested places to stay:

• Oki Doki Old Town
• Warsaw Centrum Hostel
• Safestay Warsaw
• Chillout Hostel

How to Get Around Warsaw

Public transportation – Buses and trams are the most common way to get around and run from 5am-11pm. They cost 3-5 PLN depending on how far you go. These tickets last 75 minutes. 90-minute tickets are available for around 7 PLN. For a day pass, prices start at 15 PLN per person while a 3-day pass starts at 36 PLN.

From the Warsaw Chopin Airport to the city center the quickest way is by train and the journey takes 20-minutes. Fares start at 3.40 PLN for a 20-minute ticket while a single ticket costs 4.40 PLN. The public bus is also available for 4.40 PLN or you can take an airport shuttle for 67 PLN per person.

The subway in Warsaw is fast and reliable. Prices for the subway are the same as the bus/tram prices above. Validated tickets let you transfer between each mode of transportation (as long as your ticket time hasn’t expired).

Taxi – Taxis are common and safe, with prices starting at 8 PLN and going up 3 PLN per kilometer. Just make sure you use official taxis as there are often illegal taxis that try to take fares (and who overcharge). Official taxis have the company logo and phone number on the car. They also use a meter.

To ensure you get a reputable company, have your hotel/hostel call a taxi before you go just to be safe.

Ridesharing – Uber is available in Warsaw and is cheaper than using taxis. Stick to Uber if you need a private ride.

Bicycle – For 10 PLN, you can register for Vetrulio, a bike-rental company in Warsaw. After you sign up, bike use is free for 20 minutes, making it essentially free to bounce around the city during your visit. After 20 minutes (and up to an hour) it’s just 1 PLN and then 3 PLN for the next hour.

There are also scooter share programs that cost 2 PLN to start and then 0.55 PLN per minute after that.

Car rental – You don’t need a car to get around Warsaw, however, if you plan on exploring the region you can find rentals for around 100 PLN per day for a multi-day rental. Drivers must have had their license for at least one year and an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required for citizens of certain countries.

When to Go to Warsaw

The best (and most popular) time to visit Warsaw is during the summer, from June to August. Temperatures are hot and rain is infrequent. Expect daily highs around 25°C (77°F). There are crowds, but they aren’t nearly as oppressive as what you find in Western Europe. Just be sure to book ahead so you don’t miss out on the cheapest accommodation.

The shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) are great times to visit as well. You’ll beat the crowds and have much milder temperatures, with temperatures ranging from 14-19°C (57-67°F) in the spring and 3-12°C (39-54°F) in the fall. You’ll get more rain but you’ll get the stunning autumn colors in the fall and lots of blooming flowers in the spring which make for a stunning backdrop to your trip.

Winter in Warsaw is cold, with temperatures dropping below 0°C (32°F) during the day and down to -5°C (23°F) overnight. Snow is common, which can affect conditions if you’re traveling by car. In short, I wouldn’t recommend a winter visit unless you plan on leaving the city to go skiing or take part in other winter activities.

How to Stay Safe in Warsaw

Poland is consistently ranked one of the safest countries in the world (it ranks higher than Italy, Spain, and Australia in terms of safety).

Of course, you should still take some precautions while you’re here. Keep your valuables secure and out of sight when riding public transportation and while you’re in popular tourist areas.

Taxi scams in Warsaw are rare, but always make sure your driver is using the meter. If they aren’t, ask them to stop and find a taxi that will.

ATM skimming can occur here so always make sure you use verified ATMs. If you can, go into the bank to withdraw your money (as opposed to using outdoor ATMs that are easier to tamper with).

If you rent a car, don’t leave any valuables in it overnight. Break-ins are rare but it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here, however, the standard precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone at night intoxicated, etc.).

If you’re worried about getting ripped off, you can read about common travel scams to avoid here .

If you experience an emergency, dial 112.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. You can use the widget below to find the policy right for you:

Why Go To Warsaw

Kraków may be known as Poland's cultural capital, but the country's official capital – Warsaw – is just as appealing to culture hounds. After all, this is the city where iconic figures like Marie Curie and Frédéric Chopin grew up. Following a day spent at a music festival or the Copernicus Science Centre , you can explore the historic Old Town neighborhood. Or, soak up Warsaw's rich (and often dark) past at museums like the Warsaw Uprising Museum and the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews . No matter how you fill your day, you can end it with locally made vodkas or hearty traditional fare (think: meat and potatoes) at one of the city's restaurants, bar mleczny (government-subsidized eateries) or street vendors.

Warsaw Travel Tips

Best months to visit.

The best time to visit Warsaw is between June and August. Although these months constitute Warsaw's peak season, summer's pleasant temperatures (which hover in the 50s, 60s and 70s) and ample seasonal activities make up for dealing with larger crowds at attractions. If you're sticking to a tight budget, you'll score discounted rates on rooms and flights between December and February (Warsaw's winter) thanks to the region's chilly 20- to 30-degree weather. March to May and September through November (the city's spring and fall seasons) are also cost-effective times to visit, with May and September providing relatively comfortable temps in the high 40s to high 60s.

Weather in Warsaw

Data sourced from the National Climatic Data Center

What You Need to Know

Stay in or near Old Town  This central neighborhood (and its adjacent districts) boast several top attractions and feature everything from affordable hostels to five-star properties.

Restroom customs differ here Public restrooms – such as ones found in metro stations and some cafes – generally cost 1 or 2 Polish zloty (or less than $1) to use. Also, keep in mind the symbols used to designate gender-specific bathrooms: Women's restrooms are marked with circles, while men's facilities have triangles.

The nightlife scene is growing Poland produces about 40 percent of the European Union's vodka, so it's hardly surprising that Poles like to drink. You'll find watering holes and nightclubs throughout Warsaw, especially in trendy neighborhoods like Praga and Powisle.

How to Save Money in Warsaw

Buy a Warsaw Pass If you plan on visiting multiple sights and using public transportation, consider buying an upgraded Warsaw Pass card . These passes, which cost 105 to 219 Polish zloty (or between $29 and $61) per person, cover one to three days of unlimited rides on Warsaw's metro, trams and buses, as well as entrance fees for attractions like the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews and the Copernicus Science Centre .

Skip traditional restaurant meals Warsaw's street food vendors and bar mleczny (or milk bars, government-subsidized cafeterias that were popular during Poland's communist era) are some of the city's best spots to enjoy cheap, authentic Polish dishes like pierogies (potato-filled dumplings) and zapiekanki (a pizza-like dish made with a baguette half instead of dough).

Take advantage of free days at museums  Most of Warsaw's must-see museums – including the Warsaw Uprising Museum and the Lazienki Królewskie Museum – offer waived admissions on Thursdays or Sundays.

Culture & Customs

Warsaw's occupation by Nazi Germany during World War II is one of the darkest periods in the city's history. Many Polish Jews living in the city at the time died while trying to survive in ghettos and death camps or fighting against their oppressors during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943. Their suffering during World War II and their far-reaching cultural impact is commemorated at many of Warsaw's museums and monuments, including the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews and the Warsaw Uprising Museum .

Although Warsaw's historic attractions and ample museums are the main reasons visitors flock to the city, Poland's capital also boasts a lively nightlife scene, especially in up-and-coming neighborhoods like Powisle and Praga. What's more, famous musicians like Frédéric Chopin and Wladyslaw Szpilman once called Warsaw home, so it's hardly surprising that the city hosts an array of music-focused events, including free outdoor piano concerts at the Lazienki Królewskie Museum and various jazz festivals. Famed scientist Marie Curie and art deco artist Tamara de Lempicka also lived in the capital.

English is spoken by many Poles, so you shouldn't have any issues communicating with locals. However, Poland's official language is Polish, and learning a few basic words and phrases in Polish – like " czesc " (hello), " prosze " (please), " dziekuje " (thank you) and " do widzenia " (goodbye) – will likely come in handy.

Unlike other members of the European Union, Poland uses the Polish zloty as its official currency (1 Polish zloty is equal to $0.28). But, euros are occasionally accepted as a valid form of payment for select tours and at a limited number of stores. Since the Polish zloty (or euro) to U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuates, be sure to check what the current exchange rate is before you go. And keep in mind Poland's tipping etiquette: Leaving a tip is not customary, but if exceptional service is provided, feel free to tip 10 to 15 percent of your bill.

What to Eat

Warsaw may not be known as a foodie destination, but its dining scene is arguably the best in Poland. Many of the city's best restaurants – including Stolica , Restauracja Polska Rózana and Soul Kitchen Bistro – feature Polish classics like pierogies (a dumpling-like dish that features a potato stuffing) on their menus. Other must-try dishes include  zurek (a sour rye soup that's loaded with hard-boiled eggs and sausage) and bigos (a dish made of fried and stewed cabbage, sauerkraut, mushrooms and meats like bacon and kielbasi , grilled sausages). Modern versions of traditional Polish items, meanwhile, can be found at eateries like the Amber Room Restauracja and N31 restaurant&bar .

For affordable Polish cuisine, Warsaw's street vendors and bar mleczny (or milk bars, government-subsidized eateries that were commonplace during Poland's communist rule) can't be missed. These casual eateries serve popular items like zapiekanka (a baguette half topped with mushrooms, cheese and ketchup) and fasolka po Bretonsku (a stewed version of baked beans) and are located throughout the city. Popular milk bars include Bar Bambino and Prasowy .

Warsaw also boasts multiple ethnic restaurants that specialize in everything from French to Israeli cuisine. According to recent travelers, some of the city's best ethnic eateries include Maho Restaurant (which serves Turkish fare), InAzia (a Japanese restaurant) and Mr India (where Indian dishes are on the menu).

Additionally, Warsaw produces nearly half of the European Union's vodka. Visitors ages 18 and older can sample vodkas at many of the city's bars and restaurants, but for an in-depth look at the spirit, consider signing up for a tasting with local tour operators like XperiencePoland and Eat Polska . XperiencePoland's tasting costs 29 euros (roughly $34) per person and includes eight vodka samples and two Polish snacks. Meanwhile, Eat Polska's tasting is 290 Polish zloty (or about $80.50) per person and features six or seven vodka samples, plus five or six food pairings.

Poland's crime rate is low overall, but theft and pickpocketing (especially at popular attractions and on public transportation) occasionally occur. As such, travelers should keep an eye on their belongings and surroundings at all times. It is also best to avoid public demonstrations, which are fairly common in Poland and can become violent, and to travel with others at night and in crowded areas like Old Town . For more tips on how to stay safe while visiting Warsaw, check out the U.S. State Department's website .

Getting Around Warsaw

The best ways to get around Warsaw are on foot and via public transportation. Many top attractions sit within walking distance of one another, while others are easy to reach by metro, tram or bus. Warsaw's public transportation network – operated by Zarzad Transportu Miejskiego – is extensive, offering approximately 200 bus routes and 30 tram, four train and two metro lines. The easiest way to get to central Warsaw from the airport is to use the S2 or S3 train, but once you're downtown, plan on using the metro or trams. Taxis and ride-hailing services are also available, but are not a cost-effective option for traveling longer distances. You may also opt to rent a car, but Warsaw's streets are not the easiest to navigate and offer limited parking in the city center. To get to Warsaw, travelers fly into Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW), which is about 5 miles south of central Warsaw.

Entry & Exit Requirements

Americans can visit Poland for up to 90 days without a visa, but you must have a passport that's valid for at least three months after your departure date (though six months validity is recommended). Additionally, you will be required to show proof of sufficient funds and a return airline ticket when you arrive. Visit the U.S. State Department's website to learn more about entry and exit requirements.

Everything from pastel-hued, late 18th-century buildings to communist-era apartments to modern skyscrapers can be found in Warsaw's Old Town area.

We chose a trip to Poland due to the fact that my family comes from Poland. It was the best choice. Our guide showed us the house where my family once live...

Packed with a bizarre mix of gleaming office buildings and grey, Communist-era apartment blocks, WARSAW (Warszawa) often bewilders backpackers. Yet if any city rewards exploration, it is the Polish capital. North of the lively centre are stunning Baroque palaces and the meticulously reconstructed Old Town; to the south are two of Central Europe’s finest urban parks; and in the east lie reminders of the rich Jewish heritage extinguished by the Nazis.

Chopin Museum

Drinking and nightlife, entertainment, jewish ghetto and cemetery, łazienki park, museum of the history of the polish jews, national museum, old and new town squares, the old town, palace of culture and science, royal castle, the royal way, warsaw uprising museum, wilanów palace.

Warsaw became the capital in 1596 and initially flourished as one of Europe’s most prosperous cities. In 1815, however, the Russians conquered the city and, despite a series of rebellions, it was not until the outbreak of World War I that this control collapsed. Warsaw again became the capital of an independent Poland in 1918, but the German invasion of 1939 meant this was to be short-lived. Infuriated by the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, Hitler ordered the total destruction of the city, leaving 850,000 Varsovians dead and 85 percent of Warsaw in ruins. Rebuilding is an ongoing process.

The main sights are on the western bank of the Wisła (Vistula) River where you’ll find the central business and shopping district, Śródmieście , grouped around Centralna station and the nearby Palace of Culture. The more picturesque Old Town (Stare Miasto) is just to the north.

There are plenty of good private hostels, mainly in Środmieście, most offering free internet, breakfast and free/cheap laundry services. Hotels tend to be pricier than elsewhere in Poland.

Travel ideas for Poland, created by local experts

Explore the Liberation Route in Poland

Poland was the first country that Hitler invaded and with it starting World War II. Discover the Polish sites of World War II with this itinerary, from the Northern city of Gdansk where the first battle took place to the concentration camps of Auschwitz close to Krakow.

Warsaw’s most lavish tribute to its favourite son is the achingly modern Chopin Museum , east of Krakowskie Przedmieście at ul. Okolnik 1 ( w www.chopin.museum ). With interactive handsets to guide visitors through exhibits on the musician’s life, it’s a must for Chopin enthusiasts, but only 100 people are allowed into the museum at a time so tickets must be reserved in advance.

The bar scene in Warsaw has really taken off over the last decade, and the city now genuinely provides a great night out that rivals Prague and needn’t blow your budget. Praga, across the river, is a formerly dangerous neighbourhood that now boasts a lively, bohemian bar scene – an interesting alternative to the more glitzy hangouts you’ll find downtown. Check out the English-language Warsaw Insider (available in most hotels; w www.warsawinsider.pl ) for more information on nightlife and a monthly list of events.

The tipple most associated with Poland, vodka is actually in danger of being eclipsed in popularity by beer among young Poles, so it’s well worth seeking out the varieties you can’t find abroad before they disappear from Polish shops and bars completely. Traditionally served chilled and neat – although increasingly mixed with fruit juice –vodka can be clear or flavoured with anything from bison grass to mountain herbs to juniper berries or honey. There’s even been a revival of kosher vodkas, although whether their rabbinic stamps of approval are kosher themselves or just a marketing gimmick isn’t always obvious.

The city’s festivals enhance the celebratory vibe, especially the Warsaw “Summer Jazz Days” Festival, a series of outdoor concerts held throughout July and August.

Cinema Films are usually shown in their original language with Polish subtitles. Tickets 17–30zł.

Music Live bands are apt to appear in bars without any warning; W Oparach Absurdu and the Irish Pub are your best bets.

West of the New and Old towns is the former ghetto area, in which an estimated 380,000 Jews – one-third of Warsaw’s total population – were crammed from 1939 onwards. By the war’s end, the ghetto had been razed to the ground, with only around three hundred Jews and just one synagogue, the Nożyk Synagogue at ul. Twarda 6, left. You can still get an idea of what Jewish Warsaw looked like on the miraculously untouched ul. Próźna.

Take tram #22 from Centralna Station to ul. Okopowa 49/51 to reach the vast, overgrown Jewish Cemetery (Cmentarz Zydowski; Mon–Thurs 10am–5pm, Fri 9am–1pm, Sun 11am–4pm, closed Sat; 8zł), one of the few still in use in Poland.

About 2km south of the commercial district, on the eastern side of al. Ujazdowskie, is the much-loved Łazienki Park (bus #116, # 180 or #195 from Nowy Świat). Once a hunting ground, the area was bought in the 1760s by King Stanisław August, who turned it into a park and built the Neoclassical Łazienki Palace (Tues–Sun 9am–6pm; 17zł) across the lake. But the park itself is the real attraction, with its oak-lined paths alive with peacocks and red squirrels.

Located in the midst of the former ghetto area at Anielewicza 6, the Museum of the History of the Polish Jews (Wed–Mon 10am–6pm; 12zł; www.jewishmuseum.org.uk ) is worth visiting for the building alone – a futuristic glassy slab filled with organic, curvy surfaces. The display pays tribute to the rich Jewish civilization that flourished on the soil of Poland, until all but snuffed out by the Holocaust. The painted wooden ceiling of the 17th-century Gwozdziec synagogue is one obvious highlight. Opposite the museum is the Ghetto Heroes Monument , commemorating the doomed Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of April 1943, when lightly armed ghetto inhabitants took on the might of the German SS.

At the southern end of Nowy Świat and east along al. Jerozolimskie is the National Museum (Tues–Fri 10am–4pm, Sat & Sun 10am–6pm; 15zł, free Sat; w www.mnw.art.pl ), housing an extensive collection of medieval, Impressionist and modern art, as well as Christian frescoes from eighth- to thirteenth-century Sudan. Particularly striking is the fourteenth-century sculpture of the Pietà, which is more reminiscent of the Modernist distortions in the room nearby than Michaelangelo’s famed depiction of the same scene.

On ul. Świętojańska, north of the castle, stands St John’s Cathedral, the oldest church in Warsaw. A few yards away, the Old Town Square (Rynek Starego Miasta) is one of the most remarkable bits of postwar reconstruction anywhere in Europe. Flattened during the Uprising, its three-storey merchants’ houses have been rebuilt in near-flawless imitation of the Baroque originals. It’s also home to the Warsaw Historical Museum (closed at the time of writing, due to reopen by early 2014; w www.mhw.pl ), where an English-language film shows poignant footage of the vibrant, multicultural 1930s city and the ruins left in 1945. Crossing the ramparts heading north brings you to the New Town Square (Rynek Nowego Miasta) at the heart of the so-called New Town (Nowe Miasto), the town’s commercial hub in the fifteenth century but now a quiet spot to escape the bustling Old Town.

The title Old Town (Stare Miasto) is, in some respects, a misnomer for the historic nucleus of Warsaw. After World War II the beautifully arranged Baroque streets were destroyed, only to be painstakingly reconstructed so accurately that the area has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Old Town comes alive in the summer, as tourists, street performers and festivals take over the cobblestone streets. Plac Zamkowy (Castle Square), on the south side of the Old Town, is the obvious place to start a tour.

West of the National Museum lies the commercial heart of the city, the Centrum crossroads from which ul. Marszałkowska, the main north–south road, cuts across al. Jerozolimskie running east–west. Towering over everything is the Palace of Culture and Science , a post-World War II gift from Stalin whose vast interior now contains theatres, a swimming pool and a nightclub. The platform on the thirtieth floor (daily 9am–8pm, Fri & Sat till 11pm; 20zł; pkin.pl ) offers impressive views of the city.

On the east side of Castle Square is the thirteenth-century Royal Castle , now home to the Castle Museum ( w www.zamek-krolewski.pl ). Though the structure is a replica, many of its furnishings are originals. After passing the lavish Royal Apartments of King Stanisław August, you visit the Lanckoranski Gallery, which contains a fascinating range of aristocratic portraits including two paintings – Girl in a Picture Frame and Scholar at His Desk – by Rembrandt.

Lined with historic buildings, the road that runs south from pl. Zamkowy along the streets of Krakowskie Przedmieście and Nowy Świat to the palace of Wilanów, on the city’s outskirts, is the old Royal Way . One highlight is the Church of the Nuns of the Visitation , one of the few buildings in central Warsaw to have come through the war unscathed. Much of the rest of Krakowskie Przedmieście is occupied by university buildings, including several fine Baroque palaces and the Holy Cross Church . Sealed inside a column to the left of the nave is an urn containing Chopin’s heart.

For flashy boutiques and department stores, first explore the gleaming Złote Terasy shopping centre (replete with such Western titles as H&M and Zara), opposite the Palace of Culture and Science on ul. Emilii Plater, before passing through to the mainly pedestrianized streets of ul. Chimielna and ul. Nowy Świat.

The Hala Mirowska market on al. Jana Pawła II is the place to go for fresh fruits and vegetables (daily); antique hunters should head for the Kolo Antique Market on ul. Obozowa (trams #13 & #23 from the Old Town; Sun 7am–2pm), where you’ll find everything from war medals to old Christian icons.

About 1.5km west of Centrum is the Warsaw Uprising Museum at ul. Grzybowska 79 (Mon, Wed & Fri 8am–6pm, Thurs 8am–8pm, Sat & Sun 10am–6pm; 14zł, free Mon; w www.1944.pl ; tram #22 from Centralna Station). Set in a century-old brick power station, the museum retells the grim story of how the Varsovians fought and were eventually crushed by the Nazis in 1944 – a struggle that led to the deaths of nearly two hundred thousand Poles and the destruction of most of the city. Special attention is given to the equivocal role played by Soviet troops, who watched passively from the other side of the Wisła as the Nazis defeated the Polish insurgents. Only after the city was a charred ruin did they move across to “liberate” its few remaining inhabitants.

The grandest of Warsaw’s palaces, Wilanów (May–Sept Mon, Wed & Sat 9.30am–6.30pm, Tues, Thurs & Fri 9.30am–4.30pm, Sun 10.30am–6.30pm; Oct–April Mon & Wed–Sat 9.30am–4.30pm, Sun 10.30am–4.30pm; 20zł, free Sun Oct–April; w www.wilanow-palac.pl ), makes an easy excursion from the centre: take bus #180 south from Krakowskie Przedmieście or Nowy Świat to its terminus. Converted in the seventeenth century from a small manor house into the “Polish Versailles”, the palace displays a vast range of decorative styles, a mixture mirrored in the delightful palace gardens (daily 9am–sunset; 5zł, free Thurs).

At the center of Old Town Square, be sure to look out for the Warsaw Mermaid statue. While not as notable as the famous European statue The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen , kids will find the local legend fascinating. 

Folklore states that fishermen noticed something in the river creating waves, tangling nets and releasing their fish. They planned to trap the creature but then heard her singing and fell in love. A rich merchant did eventually trap and imprison the mermaid, but the enamored fishermen rescued her. Legend has it, she has been protecting the city and its residents ever since. 

Take a Stroll along the Vistula River

After exploring Old Town, head to the river and see if your kids can catch a glimpse of the mermaid themselves. Not far from Old Town, the Vistula River is a scenic way to soak in some nature without venturing far from the tourist hub of Warsaw. 

Along Vistula Boulevard and the riverside, you’ll find pedestrian friendly walkways, shaded benches, cafes and boathouse restaurants, and even a recreational beach area for those who want to relax and dip their feet in the water.

It is a great place for an afternoon stroll or bike ride to take in the views of the river and the skyline.

Watch a light show at Multimedia Fountain Park

End your first night in Warsaw at the Multimedia Fountain Park . Located down the hill from Old Town, near the river, this unique attraction is best to visit at night. The park features several fountains where water and light are combined in a choreographed display of color. 

It is a great place to stop by on your way back to your hotel at the end of the day. On weekends during the summertime, you can catch a multimedia show on the water screen 

Take in the Opulence of Wilanów Palace

Wilanów Palace , on the south side of Warsaw, is a stunning Baroque royal residence where you can explore both the opulent interior of the palace and the outer gardens. 

Sometimes called the “Polish Versailles”, the palace dates back to the late 1600s. It somehow survived both World Wars and stands as one of Poland’s most important landmarks.

While the tragedies of the World Wars overshadow much of Poland’s older, prosperous history, Wilanow Palace, along with other notable Polish landmarks, like Wawel Castle in Krakow and the Wieliczka Salt Mine , are evidence of the extreme wealth and abundance that the nation once held.

Although you can take an Uber or taxi to Wilanow Palace, the easiest way to get there is to book a guided tour that includes transportation. 

Learn about Jewish History at the POLIN Museum

The POLIN Museum of the History of the Polish Jews in Warsaw is one of the most recommended museums in the city. I will preface by saying, it wasn’t the most entertaining museum for children. The audio guide and the exhibits are definitely geared more towards adults who are interested in learning about Polish history. However, we dragged her along because we wanted to check it out. 

Located on the site of the former Warsaw Ghetto, the museum takes you through how the Jewish people ended up in Poland, what Jewish life was like in Poland during the golden age, and then transitions to the devastation of the Holocaust and the post-war era. 

Take a Warsaw Ghetto Walking Tour

After touring the POLIN Museum, book a guided walking tour of the former Warsaw Ghetto to learn more about this sad chapter in Poland’s history. The tour traces the remnants of the ghetto walls, hidden memorials and landmarks that you would otherwise likely miss in the now modern city. 

Your guide will provide context and recount stories of the extreme conditions inside the Warsaw Ghetto where the Jewish community was confined during German occupation. A walking tour is a good way to better understand everything you just learned at the POLIN Museum. 

Learn to Make Pierogi at a Cooking Class

Following an afternoon of history and education, your children will welcome the opportunity to do something hands-on and fun. So, on your second evening of your three days in Warsaw, book a pierogi cooking class , where you and your kids will learn to make different types of this delicious Polish dumpling. 

You’ll mix all the ingredients, make the dough, roll it out, stuff your dumplings, learn different techniques for closing your pierogi, and finally, boil and eat different kinds of dumplings, from vegan, vegetarian, and meat-filled pierogi. 

Learn about the Resistance at Warsaw Uprising Museum

The Warsaw Uprising Museum is one of the most poignant and powerful museums in the city. The museum is dedicated to one of Poland’s most significant historical events, the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, when an underground resistance attempted to liberate Warsaw from German occupation.

The museum is a bit more interactive than some of Warsaw’s other popular museums, making it a nice, educational choice for families visiting Poland with kids. There is a reconstructed sewer system which visitors can walk through to get a glimpse at the challenges the insurgents faced as they planned their resistance.

There is also a “Little Insurgents” section, where kids can learn about the history in an age-appropriate way. 

Take a Boat Ride at Lazienki Park

After the heaviness of the Warsaw Uprising Museum, it’s time for a break from sightseeing and audio guides. Łazienki Park is a fantastic destination where kids can run freely exploring the gardens, walking trails, and playground. There is even a lake where you can take a paddleboat ride and peacocks that roam the park. 

Throughout the year, Łazienki Park hosts various cultural events, including outdoor theater performances and free Chopin concerts on Sunday afternoons during the summer months. 

From the area near the Warsaw Uprising Museum, it’s easiest to grab an Uber to reach the par, which is about a 15–20-minute drive.

Enjoy the Views at the Palace of Culture and Science

The Palace of Culture and Science is the most prominent building in Warsaw. Completed in 1955, it was once one of the tallest buildings in the world. A “gift” from the Soviet Union, it became a painful symbol of Soviet domination and Polish oppression. 

There has been ongoing debate over the years whether the building, which houses museums, theaters, libraries, and educational facilities, should remain or be torn down. However, the building has remained as somewhat of a historical monument of the city’s troubled past and has even become a notable attraction in the city. 

End your final night of your 3 days in Warsaw by going up to the observation deck on the 30th floor of this iconic skyscraper. Standing at 114 meters (374 feet) high, the observation deck provides a 360-degree vista of Warsaw’s skyline. 

Where to stay in Warsaw

We have visited Warsaw a couple of times and have always stayed near the main train station for convenience. 

We have stayed at both Hotel Polonia Palace and Novotel Warszawa Centrum and had great experiences at both. 

Conclusion: Is Warsaw worth visiting?

Warsaw was a bit of a pleasant surprise for us. We weren’t expecting to like it as much as we did. After falling in love with Krakow, we initially thought the larger city of Warsaw would lack the charm that made Krakow so appealing . However, if you are debating whether to include Warsaw on a Poland or Eastern Europe itinerary, the city is definitely worth visiting. 

As a family travel destination, you’ll find a mix of modern attractions and a beautifully restored Old Town that feels historic and cultural. From its history museums to its expansive parks and delicious food, Warsaw has plenty to keep your family entertained for 3 days or more!
