WE ARE OPEN! 21st of May we reopen our Museum! We work as before, maintaining the safety rules. Our guest are requested to disinfect their hands at the entrance and to wear masks. Pinball Station is the first Interactive Pinball Museum in Warsaw. Established in June 2016, thanks to the great passion and commitment of two hobbyists and collectors. We started with 30 flippers. Today, our collection has over 100 pinball and arcade games, of which 70 have been restored and are available to visitors at Pinball Station. If you want to come back to the 80s and 90s, play on machines nowhere inaccessible like Bord-Golf from 1933 or simply – you want to feel like a kid again, come to our Museum.

On a grey, wet afternoon in Warsaw when most of the listed museums are closed there are few better options than this place. My wife and I, enjoyed a couple of hours here having a drink and reminiscing about our teenage years, stimulated by arcade games from the 70s-90s . It cost £8 each for “unlimited play” and the drinks were a fair price. It’s a fun place

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)

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

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.

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.
Reviewed By TravelerO279 - Washington DC, United States
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.

German soldiers led Jews captured during the suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to this assembly point for deportation.
Reviewed By steve1934
Very sobering to think what these Jewish people must have gone through, still hard to believe this happened just relatively a short time ago during WW2,a fitting tribute to the 300.000 that lost their lives on the journey to or at extermination camps.
