Warsaw is the capital city of Poland and also its largest city with a population of about 2.8 million in the metropolitan area. The name Warsaw means in Polish “belonging to Warsz”, a nobleman who owned the village from which the city grew, although many prefer the folktale where a fisherman, “Wars”, fell in love and married a mermaid, “Sawa”. Warsaw is often called the “phoenix city” for, after the Warsaw uprising, the Nazis destroyed every building they could in reprisal. Only 1 in 5 was left standing. As a result, Warsaw has primarily modern architecture of both communist and capitalist design and a culture that knows both adversity and resolve.


The most prominent building in the city is the Palace of Culture and Science which was built for the Poles by Stalin in the 1950s. While the building is striking and an incredible view of the city is available from the observation deck, many Poles resent the building for Stalin’s cruelty to Poland. A visit to Warsaw required a walk through Krakowskie Przedmieście which has the Presidential Palace, the University of Warsaw, and several other important Palaces and Churches. The Old Town Market had to be rebuilt but it’s design replicates the original 17th century square and nearby is the Warsaw Historical Museum. Another, though slightly macabre, site is Powązki Cemetery which has 60,000 graves and ornate mausoleums and is the resting place of many of the heroes of Polish resistance and the Wars.


During your stay in Warsaw there will be a number of festivals and events to attend. Every year on Midsummer’s Night there is the festival “Wianki” (Wreaths) which has developed from a pagan ritual of floating wreaths to one with speeches, performances and fireworks all along the banks of the Vistula. In October there is the Warsaw Film Festival, a perfect event for a language student because the films are screened in their original language with Polish subtitles. There will be many more peculiarities of Polish culture to discover in Warsaw everyday with a visit to the “bar mleczny”, cheap communist-era cafeterias. Or, at the largest outdoor market, you can experience a development on the traditional Slavic bazaar. Warsaw offers all the amenities of a Western city without losing the distinct Polish culture that draws so many visitors.
