Warsaw, Poland
Warsaw is the capital city of Poland, which is the 8th most populous capital city in the European Union. Once described as the Paris of the East, Warsaw was believed to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world until it was ravaged during World War II.
To recap, from Warsaw Chopin Airport, my BFF and I took the train to Warszawa Srodmiescie railway station to reach
Metropol Hotel.

| Which city in Europe do you really want to go to? |
One of the most notable landmark in Warsaw is the Palace of Culture and Science, which is 237 m tall. For those familiar with the Seven Sisters, a group of seven skyscrapers in Moscow, Russia designed in the Stalinist style, the building is informally referred to as the Eighth Sister.
To go to Centrum metro station from the hotel, we walked through an underpass.
 |
| Any money changers in town gives better rates than the one at Warsaw Chopin Airport. |
 |
| The station looks pretty new compared to others in different parts of Europe. |
From Centrum Nauki Kopernik metro station, you can take a nice stroll along the path next to Vistula River.
 |
| Do you prefer cloudless or cloudy sky? |
 |
| Care for a drink or two? |
Just slightly outside of
Warsaw Old Town in the northwest direction is the Warsaw Uprising Monument that was unveiled in 1 August 1989.
 |
| Interesting pillars! |
 |
| The monument, which is roughly 10 m tall, is made of bronze. |
 |
| The monument has shown some signs of deterioration due to atmospheric pollutants. |
We left the old town area from the southern end, seeing a lot of interesting buildings along the way.
 |
| An equestrian statue of Prince Jozef Poniatowski stands in front of the Presidential Palace. |
 |
| Hotel Bristol (5*) does look grand, right? |
 |
| Speaking of Copernicus, I'm forever laughing at the ridiculous Flat Earth International Conference. |
Did you know that there's a street named after Winnie the Pooh in Warsaw? Kubusia Putchatka is the name in the local language.
 |
| BTW, have you watched the newly released movie titled Christopher Robin? |
After that, we went back to the hotel via Nowy Swiat - Uniwersytet metro station that looks cool.
We explored a bit of the area to the west of
Ogrod Saski as we were trying to find a particular restaurant to go for lunch.
 |
| The Ghetto Wall circled the area of the city predominantly inhabitated by the Jews in the past. |
 |
| Had I known that it's a traditional market, I would've dropped by. |
On our last evening in Warsaw, we checked out the bustling Nowy Swiat Street lined with an eclectic mix of restaurants, bars and shops.
 |
| Inglot is a Polish cosmetics company. |
