What a fun way to see the sunset in Warsaw! For a really spectacular visit, make sure you time your…read moreentry about 20 minutes before the sunset to catch the colors and view. You can buy a ticket before on their website, or there is an electronic vending machine (accepts credit cards) in the lobby. I believe that there is also a physical ticket sales booth inside. A regular ticket is 30 Polish ZT. They advise that on the day you'd like to visit the viewing platform that it's best to check if it is open beforehand on their official website: www.pkin.pl Tickets purchased on-line are valid for 12 months after purchase, until used. To make inquiries, the phone number is 22 656 73 82. The hours of the Viewing Terrace ticket office are daily (Monday to Sunday) from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The elevator is fast and takes you to the 30th floor where there is a sightseeing terrace which surrounds the top. It takes the elevator only 19 seconds to reach the top. The 30th floor includes a mid century style Gothic Hall, a photo gallery and a coffee bar.

Built in the 1950s, this massive soviet communist era monstrosity was Stalin's gift to the people…read moreof Warsaw, whom really didn't have a say. The local Poles also called it "Stalin's P***S"...I don't see it, do you? :) Despite the dark history, seeing this building certainly makes an impression on you, especially architectural nerds like myself. The interior reflects the era. I didn't have a chance, but building has a couple of large theaters to see shows and concerts. 25PLN/$6 will let you ride up to the "tip", I mean top of the building at 30 floors up. You'll get some sweeping panoramic views for some pretty good photos and Instagram posts...though the Warsaw skyline is rather flat and dull compared to other views. Still worth the cheap $6, and it won't take much time out of your day. I think I paid $45 to go up Seattle's Space Needle a few months ago.

Tourist trap. Ordered wine 13 zlotys on the menu and was charged 27. I pointed this out and they…read moresaid I was a tourist so they gave me a Polish wine instead. Too many spiders in the window near our table.

Given rows of restaurants and (tons of ice cream parlors) are located within a UNESCO area of the…read moreOld City, these places have little competition among restaurants. Food was good to savor, but nothing too incredible to be hyped about The sautéed mushroom was so-so, salty. The duck was over-cooked, a tad dry. But nevertheless, the surrounding visuals of this incredible place make up for the overall experience. Next stop: Ice cream!

Plac Konstytucji - Constitution Square - is a large square located close to Centrum and Plac…read moreZbawiciela (Savior Square). You can access the square either by tram, by walking or by a number of both express and innercity buses. Constitution Square is well worth a visit - the architecture is almost exclusively communistic from the 1950's (I'm not an architect nor do I know anything about building styles but the architecture of the buildings around the square is very characteristic for the Polish post-IIWW years when the People's Republic was taking form) and while some might consider the buildings ugly, I find them interesting. There are several very popular restaurants and bars around Constitution Square - Szwejk (a large "Czech-style" restaurant with cheep food and cheep alcohol, beer mostly), Aioli Inspired By Mini (they serve a double burger for the same price as their regular Aioli Burger - 26 pln - on Mondays for instance), Pulp Fiction Shot Bar (a shot of Soplica vodka costs 5 pln and the whole place is highly inspired by the legendary Tarantino classic from which the shotbar takes its name) and they're about to open Warsaw's second pancake restaurant "Manekin" here as well. Additionally, the Polonia Theater is also located here, right by the tramstop. Here's an interesting fact - most people tend to think the name, Constitution Square, is in honor of Poland's first constitution, adopted at the end of the 18th century, but they're all mistaken. The name comes from the Stalinist constitution adopted in 1952.

Warsaw's best attraction in my opinion - mainly because it's FREE to check out! I love the…read morearchitecture I checked out here and how everything felt as if we were in the old days of Warsaw. The area is also very safe and kept well clean. This area is a bit of a tourist trap - but why wouldn't it be? Everywhere you walk you WILL definitely stop to take photos. It is so easy to get lost in the beauty of this area - you'll see what I mean if you come here. There is no better time to visit this place - any time of the day will do just fine. My preference though is to come here at night time - the place is beautifully lit then. This old town may not be as old as some other old towns in Europe, but it is still well preserved as if it was like the other old towns.

Warsaw was almost fully destroyed with World War II, and the old town of the city was no exception…read more However the old town was built to remodel the past. They did an amazing job in restoring it. UNESCO in 1980 notes the Old Town of Warsaw as a wonderful example of near total reconstruction of history of Warsaw from 13th to 20th century. The palace surrounding this area is also remodeled to the prewar times. The Old Town environment is tourist friendly and walkable in day and night time. There are many shops, restaurants, cafes, churches, palace etc around it. We did our Warsaw walking tour from this area too. The walking tour meeting point was Sigismund's Column. Side Note- The money exchange is very good in this area. It's better to get currency from the Old Town compared to the airport or other areas.~
