The old town offers many sights: Royal Castle square with Sigismund's Column, Market square, st. John's Cathedral, narrow streets of Old Town, monuments of Old Town, the Barbican and city walls, New Town street, churches and market Square

The Royal Route The Royal Routeis the most representative of the city thoroughfare, where the route joins the old royal residences.The Royal Route begins at Warsaw's Castle Square and runs south along the river down to Ujazdów (king Stanislaus Augustus Summer Residence), finally to arrive at Wilanów (King Jan III Sobieski's Summer Residence).
The most important sights along the Royal Route: St. Anna Church, Presidential Palace, Bristol Hotel, Warsaw University campus, the Holy Cross church with Chopin’s heart, Copernicus monument, Łazienki Royal Park and Palace, Belvedere Palace and others….

Built between 1952-1955, till 1957 was the tallest building in Europe. The building was originally known as the Joseph Stalin Palace of Culture and Science, but in the wake of destalinization the dedication was revoked; Stalin's name was removed from the interior lobby and one of the building's sculptures. It is now the 187th tallest building in the world. Warsaw todayis a vibrant city with 21st cent. modern architecture. The city centre offers excellent restaurants, cafes and shops….
