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)

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

Seems to be larger , but just like the Krakow barbican - this one is a beautiful must . Crowds of tourists , street vendors , it is one of the gates to the Old Town . From here you can stroll along Nowomiejska street into the Old town Square ; You can walk along Miedzymurze Jana Zachwatowicza to the the look out terrace and the statue of Wars & Sawa below it ; Or you can exit here towards the interesting Freta sreet and the Uprising Monument .

The church is located outside the walls of the Old Town on (New Town) Dluga/Freta streets , a couple of minutes walk from the Barbican . This Gothic style church was originally built in the 14th Cent. . Destroyed almost completely during WWII , and rebuilt in the same form in 1956 . Find more interesting history on google . Very beautiful , and we recommend it to be on your "churches must see list" of Warsaw .

It's hard to miss Sigismund's clock if one were to take a walk along the fortress walls. It shimmers and glimmers as the sun bathes it with her warm rays. It's a modern depiction of an astronomical clock which combines yellow and brown stones (perhaps of amber) which serve as the backdrop of the elements of the clock. Aside from regular numbers the zodiac signs are also represented as well as the lunar phases. Quite an interesting clock.
