Why visit Warsaw

Rebuilt from rubble after 1944, Warsaw’s Old Town is a UNESCO site of meticulous copies, with the Royal Castle and St John’s Archcathedral fronting the market square. The Palace of Culture and Science rises 20 minutes’ walk south, and the Vistula’s right bank holds Praga’s neon and the Copernicus Science Centre. Milk bars still ladle pierogi for around 20 złoty a plate, and the POLIN museum covers a thousand years of Jewish life.
