Located in Old Town, this picturesque open plaza was built in 1821 and features the King Zygmunt III column in its center.
It’s very crowded and very touristy but I think it’s a must go if you’re visiting Warsaw. Square itself is lovely, there are many good restaurants around and you have a nice view of National Stadium (which definitely looks better from the distance)

Surrounded by beautiful seventeenth- and eighteenth-century merchants' houses, this lively square is filled with street vendors, cafes, shops, galleries and some of Warsaw's top restaurants.
The heart of The Old Town and definitely a 'Must See Place' Home to Museums, Restaurants, Free Music Concerts, Market stalls and shops. Not all of which are Tourist orientated, so No Pressure Sellers. Lots of craft stalls with high quality goods at reasonable prices. In winter there are beer shacks set up surrounding the Open Air Ice rink as well as the restaurants

I was very impressed with this small museum and especially its informative little screens that provide a lot of information in multiple languages, much of it very detailed and not easy to find outside the museum. I really appreciated the one where you can see different victims and their personal stories. The pictures and explanations of graffiti written by the prisoners on the cell walls were very interesting. The museum is small, but not very expensive and does a good job of making the most of its space. The lights available to help you read the signs in this dark basement were also very much appreciated. It is kind of hard to find with no signs until you reach the museum door itself, so look for the large, grand entrance pictured here on TripAdvisor and then turn left just inside those gates.

On the eastern side of the Saxon Garden, in the part that survived the Saxon Palace after World War II, lies the Tomb of the Unknown Polish Corps - in memory of the soldiers who fell in the battles for Polish independence and their names and / or burial places are unknown. The place looks like a small church with a "The constant flame of fire" and a guard of honor of soldiers guarding it and giving military honor to the fallen. The honor guard exchange ceremony is held every day at 12:00.

The church of the Holy Cross dates back to the 17th century but has been severely damaged more than once, most recently by the German invaders during WWII. It has been used for many important ceremonies including the funeral of the political thinker Stanislaw Staszic (1755-1826), & Fryderyk Chopin's heart is interred in one of the main pillars. The restored interior is light & features lots of fresh gilding, magnificent altars & a very grand organ.

This church is located adjacent to Castle Square. This amazing church can be overlooked because Castle Square is stealing all the attention. Also, this church looks very different from the outside than the other churches on the Royal Route. It has a Neoclassical facade. The interior has a Baroque style with several chapels. The surprisingly rich interior is filled with frescoes. Not only the interior is stunning but there is also a viewing terrace that has panoramic views of Warsaw Old Town.

Once serving as the gardens of Saxon Palace, this magnificent park features shady tree-lined avenues, Baroque sculptures, an elegant 19-century fountain and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a grave reminder of Poland's recent past.
Spectacular gardens in a great location close to the Old City. Plenty of lawns and spectacular flower gardens. Seating and resting areas suitable for a light picnic and rest. Extensive lawns are very suitable for children. On the close side to the Old City is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an honor guard. Plenty of sculptures and fountains are placed throughout the gardens, especially striking is the amazing Marconi Fountain. Highly recommended place.

Built by King Stanislaw August Poniatowski during the second half of the 18th century, this neoclassical palace once served as a royal residence that is surrounded with ponds, canals and magnificent park-like grounds.
Great place and area to visit with family, friends, and kids. Located inside the botanical gardens area just outside the city center, it's an oasis away from traffic and people. Really enjoyed walking through the surrounding park. The building wasn't open when we were there, but was still picture worthy with plenty of good vantage points for good photos. Highly recommend going with a guide so as to ensure you get a full download on the area's history.

Well preserved French type of country palace surrounded with beautiful French garden and English type park at the pond. Furniture and paintings make walk in the palace truly of époque and gives real feeling of it. Best time to visit Wilanów Jan the 3rd Sobieski summer residence is late spring and summer when it blooms and smells with multiple flowers covered with carpet of colors and shades. Visitors may have a rest at cafes and restaurants located next to this place.

After being leveled when the Nazis left, this whole neighborhood of cobblestone Gothic streets and alleyways, baroque palaces, numerous churches and tiered burghers' houses were masterfully reconstructed to reflect the atmosphere of bygone days.
Old Town is a charming place to go, two square markets and main streets with bars and restaurants, many calm narrow streets where you can stroll for hours without bunch of tourists - especially Brzozowa street, Piwna street, Piesza street.
