Warsaw Tourist Information
Tourist Information for Warsaw, Poland
Warsaw is the capital city of Poland and a city, which has until recently struggled to shrug off its dour Eastern Bloc / Communist image. That's all gone now and the transformation to a big, modern city is well under way. A good way to judge investment in a city is to look at the skyline and count the number of modern skyscrapers and Warsaw has plenty of these in addition to some striking older buildings such as the Palace of Culture pictured above next to one of its more modern neighbours. Without any doubt, Warsaw is a new city located in a very new looking Europe and there are very few places in the world, which offer the tourist such a variety of things to do and place to visit.
