Warsaw Photo Gallery

My week-long adventure to Poland covered Warsaw, Krakow, and Wroclaw. I was surprised to find new and clean infrastructure as well as a good contrast between restored historic and Communist-era architecture. The World War II relics are quite moving and heavy on the heart but well worth seeing.
Devastated during World War II, Warsaw was rebuilt in the following decades, with the restored Old Town earning UNESCO World Heritage status in 1980.

Palace of Culture and Science & Royal Castle

Head up to the observation deck to admire the changing face of Warsaw, then see how their old landmark was rebuilt and redecorated after Nazi devastation.

Praga

This decrepit neighbourhood across the river is seeing a renaissance.

Wilanow Palace

Although located in a distant location, the trip out is easy by bus and the palace is well worth a visit.

Highlights

View a summary of my favourite photos from Warsaw.

Krakowskie, Old Town

Take a walk along the city's main boulevard, and explore the reconstructed Old Town, as well as the neighbouring New Town.

Lazienki Park and Palace

The palace on the isle has been renovated. Arriving early in the morning shortly after opening, I had most of the rooms all to myself.

New Warsaw

Skyscrapers and new catchy developments have risen since the fall of Communism.

Museums

Explore air, missles, and medieval armour at the Polish Army Museum. End the day examining Polish heritage at the Ethnographic Museum.
