Warsaw holidays and city breaks

The capital city of Poland, Warsaw is located on the banks of the Vistula river and only 200 km from the Baltic. Warsaw has famously given its name to the Warsaw Convention, Pact of Warsaw, Warsaw Confederation and Treaty of Warsaw. Though the city suffered great damages in World War II, it has emerged through the rubble and many of the marvellous buildings have now been restored to their former glory. The Old Town was even deemed a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1980.

Today, the city thrives with energy and is a dynamic and forward-thinking place. Though it’s full of marvellous museums and monuments to the past, the city firmly faces the future. Performing arts, theatre, and nightlife are truly alive and unparalleled in the rest of Poland. The music scene is also absolutely legendary. Home of Fryderyk Chopin, classical music has top billing, but music of every genre is popular.

The banks of the river play host to festivals, fairs and fireworks and the annual Midsummer's night "wreath floating" festival truly brings the whole city to life. The Praga district is fast becoming a little artistic and creative oasis in the city and, surrounded by modern buildings and glass skyscrapers, the tallest 4 faced clock tower in the world stands proud. A city with a big heart, Warsaw is an excellent destination to spend several days exploring!
