3 days in Warsaw

Our trip to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, will hardly forget it! Before we even land, in the air literally, we had the first unexpected! But these are not as important as the experiences we have gained and we do not see the time to share with you!

Warsaw, a vibrant city, welcomed us with very cold and refreshing air! We landed almost 7 in the afternoon and our favorite Uber served us by going to our hotel, the MDM Hotel! After we got settled we put on our food! Luckily the U Szwejka restaurant that we had chosen was incredibly close to our hotel. We enjoyed the traditional dishes, the cold meats and the huge Schnitzel, and then we walked around the same area to listen to the rhythm of the city. The time was already 11 o’clock in the evening and the bed called us as we wanted to have forces for the next day!

First Day of Exploration!

Palace of Culture and Science

After having a good breakfast, we dressed warmly with a cap, gloves, scarves and all that and we took the road to explore the city. The first station is the palace of Culture and Science, an imposing building with a height of 231 meters, which forces you to turn your eyes high. We paid the ticket 20 zlotys we climbed to the highest point you were allowed to admire the magnificent view!

Warsaw Uprising Museum

The Warsaw Rebellion Museum is dedicated to the 1944 uprising of the city in the Second World War. Inside you will find objects of fighters, erotic letters, clothes and toys of children killed while you can watch the documentary presenting the time. The music and the marching sounds make you feel an awe for those people who have fought to be released.

Approved tips: Entry is free on Sundays! Of course you can meet many people and queue! Also, make sure you have 5 zloty in coins for the box that will leave your stuff.

The Old Town of Warsaw

We finished our tour in the museum and walked out to the Old Town. On the road we took pictures of the Copernicus statue and the Royal Castle of Warsaw, which is at the entrance to the Old Town. The shocking thing is that this fabulous area of ​​Warsaw was created just a few decades ago after being completely demolished in the 2nd World. Please note that it has been designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Coffee, food and beer!

The order we usually follow when traveling!

Approved tips: Coffee Kafka is the perfect place to enjoy over your coffee and breakfast. It has a great variety of delicacies and unbelievable natural juices!

For traditional Polish food, visit Podwale and Kufle I Kapsle for unbelievable beer. All of these places are mostly locals!

2nd day of exploration

Lazienki Park

Lazenki Park is huge, clean and well-kept. It takes at least two hours of walking to get it back. The combination of the greenery, the lakes and the palace make it unique. If you are lucky you can also meet the shadows and the beautiful peacocks living inside. Local people prefer it either for a morning walk with their children or for reading in the magic of nature. It is definitely a place to visit when you come to Warsaw.

Approved tips: On that day we enjoyed cold drinks in the Relaks coffee. We then bought a daily card of 15 zlotys per person. Warsaw has a decent public transport system that serves you to see the whole city. You can get a card for 72 hours with only 36 zloty the person for zone 1.
