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.

Attended Orpheus in a modern adaptation in a 1:30 performance at the opera house. A beautiful production with great acting, acoustics as great seating from our second level balcony. At 110 pln, seemed to be a great value for a world class performance. Even with 9-11 year old children, we were not detracted by the Italian and Polish language and could still follow the performance and story as only being English speakers.

This isn't a very long road but boy is it busy! There are cars, busses, taxis, and so many people hurrying everywhere. There are lots of shops and so many restaurants it was difficult to decide where to eat. After the rush hour traffic has passed then it's a lot more peaceful and you can relax and have a nice meal with the compulsory shot of vodka of course.

The Teatr Wielki - Polish National Opera is Poland's leading opera, ballet and concert venue, where rich tradition and a clear vision for the future meet. Offering each season a host of first-rate productions - many developed in co-production with international partners - the opera house contributes significantly to the richness of Poland's cultural life. The Teatr Wielki's building, erected in the first half of the 19th century according to a design by Italian architect Antonio Corazzi, was a haven for Polish culture and heritage at a time when the country was under foreign occupation from 1772 to 1918. After a short spell of Poland's independence, the Teatr Wielki was turned into rubble as Warsaw succumbed to German forces at the onset of World War II. Rebuilt from ruins, the opera house reopened just over 50 years ago, in 1965, and is currently home to the Polish National Opera, Polish National Ballet, and Opera Gallery. It is a place where the universal idea of synthesis of the arts has been consistently put in action, providing audiences with superb works by leading contemporary artists to see and savour. Being a thoroughly modern institution, it draws from the synergy of various ideas, goals, and aspirations.
For 17 years I have visited the National Theatre and Opera House every time I visit Warsaw. I have witnessed many a splendid and memorable opera and ballet here. I am 70 and tonight was the first ever performance to bring tears to my eyes. The dancers,orchestra,pianist and choreography held the audience in the palm of their hand. Bravo. I will keep coming to Warsaw for artistic stimulation!
