Warsaw, the capital of Poland is a grown beauty with fascinating contrasts. The old town was destroyed in the Second World War, but rebuilt to its former splendour. The Royal Palace with the Wladyslaw Tower and the imposing stone portal is a masterpiece of the Baroque period. On 3 May 1791, the Constitution was adopted in the Hall of Senators.

The Gothic John-Cathedral from the 15th century is the oldest church in town. Right next door the Jesuit church was built as part of a monastery. Dedicated to the Mother of God. The patron saint of Warsaw radiates over the interior.

The Nozyk - Synagogue is the only one that survived the Second World War. It is located in the former Jewish Quarter, which was once the second largest Jewish community after New York with 450,000 inhabitants.

The Mary-Magdalene church is the seat of the Metropolitan of Warsaw. Inside, the world of eastern mysteries overwhelms.

The Potocki Palace is one of several late-Baroque palaces that, in full dignity, accompany the Royal Path on both sides. Also the official residence of the president, once belonged to influential families and the luxury hotel Bristol gleams again today in the splendour of Art Nouveau and Neo-Renaissance.

Nicolaus Copernicus is considered the country's most influential researcher. He looks towards the impressive twin towers of the Church of the Holy Cross. For here is the place of pilgrimage to the urn with the heart of the famous composer Frédéric Chopin. The baroque royal castle of Wilanów is known as the "Polish Versailles".

One of the youngest capitals of Europe has had to endure dramatic events before life blossomed again. But the city is reborn. Beautiful, proud, modern, but also mysterious.
