Warsaw

Warsaw was long known as one of the most beautiful cities in central Europe, until the Second World War when much of the city was reduced to rubble and ruin. Thanks to a meticulous restoration programme after the war most of the Old Town has been faithfully restored to its 17th century glory, and palaces and parks stand as tributes to Poland's last monarchs. Warsaw is divided into two distinct halves by the Vistula River, with the Old Town, the modern city centre and many of the city's highlights on the western side, and residential and business areas located on the eastern side. The fascinating contrast of Warsaw's collection of Stalinist high-rise buildings with the baroque castles and palaces, open parklands, impressive churches and restored streets of the historic centre, is an impressive testament to the city's glorious and colourful past.
