Warsaw

Okay, after being to Warsaw recently I can help lots of people who are wondering what they should do first when they go to the capital of Poland and stay in Budapest apartments. Well, as a beginning I should say that there are lots of things worth seeing in this city and it is quite hard to visit all of them, especially if you don’t have enough time. The first thing I should start with is the Old Town of Warsaw. As you know it was completely destroyed when the Nazis left, but thanks to the hard work of good people, all of the gothic style streets and buildings were reconstructed. Don’t forget to take your photo camera with you because you will have the chance to take some amazing pictures.

The second place on my list is the Warsaw Rising Museum. It is located 3 km from the city center so it will not be hard for you to find it. It is quite an interesting place. After that you can head and visit the University of Warsaw. This place has a really rich culture and if you are interested you can try hiring a guide to explain you all about it. It’s situated near the center as well – if I remember correctly around 0.8 km.

You should pay a special attention to the museums. Visit the national museum of Warsaw, Gestapo headquarters museum. On the other hand, if you don’t like visiting museums you can always go and check out the Royal Castle named Zamek Krolewski. Another city famouse with the castles nearby is Krakow where you can stay in Apartment Krakow.

But anyway, if you are a young man and you don’t want to go sightseeing don’t worry. Warsaw is a great place for the youth. You will be able to find lots of nice places such as pubs, clubs, cinemas and malls. The prices are really affordable at most of them so this should not bother you at all. In Poland’s capital the nightlife is definitely popular. Dekada is one of the best clubs you should visit. The last time I was there the people were really nice, cheap drinks, beautiful girls all over the place, what more can you want? Everyone was really friendly.

As I mentioned above there are many sights in Warsaw but I didn’t have enough time and I managed to visit only the things I’ve listed above. But anyway if you intend to spend around 1-2 weeks in Warsaw then one quick internet research will help you a lot. Just google “things to do in Warsaw” and you will see that you will find what you need for sure. One last advice….just book a hotel room two or three weeks earlier before you go there because the city is really crowded and sometimes finding a hotel at affordable price can be a tough decision. I made the mistake to go there without a reservation and had some hard time finding a proper place to stay so in order to protect yourself from such a mistake listen to my advice.

Anouther destination in Europe that is worth visiting is Berlin where you can stay in Berlin apartment.
