Castle Square (Plac Zamkowy)

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)

Rynek Starego Miasta

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.

Reviewed By richardmoore55 - Chester, United Kingdom

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

Saxon Gardens

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.

Reviewed By israroz - Ra'anana, Israel

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.

Lazienki Palace (Palac Lazienkowski)

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.

Museum of King Jan III's Palace at Wilanow

Reviewed By ziemowitiwanski - Warsaw, Poland

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.

Old Town

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.

Reviewed By AdrianK6 - Warsaw, Poland

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.

Lazienki Krolewskie w Warszawie

The Royal Łazienki was King Stanisław August’s summer residence, in which a classicist architecture is harmoniously blended with its natural surroundings featuring fabulous gardens

Reviewed By 146andrzejz

This is the most popular site-seeing spot in Warsaw, a real must! Fantastically located on two levels of terrain and on the slope between them. It is actually an English garden with several-hundert years old trees, artificial lakes and cannals, picturesque “Palace on the water” (the residence of the last Polish king) and all the historical buildings beautifully composed into the terrain and park, delivering many spots of an unusual beauty (for example: a magnificient view from the bridge on the channel on the lake and a slope crowned with classical Belweder building). All this makes Łazienki a natural destination for all the first-time visitors to Warsaw and a perfect leasure place for the people living here. In my opinion, its perfect for a nice one-hour-stroll or if you have more time, just take a seat on one of the benches and imagine yourself the 18th century king playing cards or just having a walk. You may also consider entering Palace on the Water - a museum. If you are interested in the Polish history there is a lot to learn here if not just enjoy!

Nowy Swiat

Reviewed By barbarasJ4484WM - Coventry, United Kingdom

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.
