Warsaw Old Town a historical place to visit.
I love beautiful old cities and Warsaw is definitely one of them! I fell in love with the Warsaw Old Town with its cobbled streets and eye-catching buildings. The Old Town, situated between Brzeze Gdanskie, Grodzka, Mostowa and Powale Street, cannot be missed.
Wondering the streets of Warsaw Old Town.
Andrey and I spent many hours wandering the streets of Warsaw Old Town and taking photos. I found the architecture very interesting. World War II destroyed nost of this beautufl city. Polish people restored the buildings from pictures! That is incredible.
Many restaurants and markets where you can taste traditional Polish cuisine.
People love to gather in the Old Town Market and here you can find many traditional Polish restaurants, cafes and shops. We bought delicious shwarmas that didn’t cost us an arm and a leg. I loved the vibe in the market. Many artists were performing or displaying their goods in the market square.
Admiring the architecture in Warsaw Old Town.
The architecture is amazing and places to see include the City Walls,The Barbican, St. John’s Cathedral and the Royal Castle. In fact there are so many places to see that I could easily spend a week in Warsaw!
Most of the major attractions are at the Market Square or Rynek Starego Miasta. As we were walking to the old town I immediately noticed how clean this city was. Not a single piece of paper was lying around.
This part of town is mostly closed off for traffic and you can enjoy walks and picnics. We even saw a bicycles race there one evening.
ooh, I love going places I've never been…thanks for sharing your trip!
It is a beautiful city Melissa! I honestly would not mind to live there but it is pretty expensive. They have done an amazing job restoring the city to its former glory.
Thank you so much for your visit Dmarie! Glad to have you along for the journey 🙂
I really look forward to your blog I see all these great places in countries I may or may never visit but just enjoy them through your eyes and words!!!
Wow…I imagine this place and how it underwent transformation…It looks pretty cool to me along with the beautiful edifices built here 🙂
Thank you so much Jim! This is one place that I would not mind to visit again. Such a beautiful and clean city. I loved the atmosphere, the food, the buildings, the history, the photo opportunities!
OMG ..You started this post with a fantastic image .. really i m stunned by seeing the buildings and street .I guess i should add Poland to my dream list .K how did you find this place Nelieta ? through lonely planet and what type of accommodation you stayed ??
Thanks Sheril, I also like the first photo! Warsaw is an amazing city. My husband is from Kaliningrad in Russia and we have to cross through Poland to get there. We flew from Argentina to Switzerland and then to Warsaw. We had 5 wonderful days in the city and stayed in a hostel called "Hostel Tamka".
You are right Cathy! War is such a terrible thing but it is so hard to believe that this poor city was almost bombed to the ground. It looks so beautiful now 🙂
What great images! Glad to see it has been rebuilt and is thriving…the war destroyed so very much.
Both of my husband's parents were born and raised until they were teenagers and Poland and I have relatives from there as well. I'd love to visit it someday and we are planning on hopefully, in the next few years, taking a trip. Warsaw seems like a lovely and enchanting place to visit…we will have to try to make our way there if we ever get a chance!
That is very interesting Jessica! I was wondering about your surname. Does your husband speak any Russian? I know that there is a big similarity between Russian and Polish. My husband spoke Russian and they could understand each other. Warsaw is a beautiful city and I hope you can make it there one day!
Hı Nelıeta Wonderful photos. I've just added Warsaw to my must visit places. It's great that they restored rather than rebuilt the city.
Warsaw is a magnificent city to visit! When you look at it you will never guess that it had been rebuilt. It comes hightly recommended 🙂
Wow it looks like a movie set! Very well-maintained heritage site.
Gorgeous! My favorite image is the second one "A Restaurant in Warsaw" — Stunning! Thank you for sharing!
Looks likes a beautiful magical city to explore on foot, no doubt there are many narrow alleyways to wander down while discovering the real Warsaw. I've never been to Poland but I'd love to in the future as your post makes it so appealing. Would like to sample some authentic Polish cuisine!! Great pics..thanks for sharing!!
It is a beautiful city AJ and indeed very well maintained. I loved it there!
Thank you Linda! There are so many photo opportunities there 🙂
Oh David there are! The food is to die for. I found a place close to the hostel where we were staying that sold the most delicious food. It was incredible!
Thank you Jan! I had so much fun in this beautiful city. There were many artists in the market square. I have a lot of photos 🙂
beautiful images, What a beautiful city. I love the image of the two men talking with the art in the background.
Nobody go to warsaw without visiting the old town , stunning
