✨ “Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears.”

– Italo Calvino

When I set foot in Warsaw, I only had a vague idea of what awaited me. The city, once devastated during World War II, has risen from the ashes with broad avenues, towering skyscrapers, and sleek modern architecture. But what truly struck me was how effortlessly I navigated the city, thanks to its well-connected bus, metro, and tram lines. Plus, the affordability compared to the rest of Europe was a delightful surprise.

🍴 A Culinary Adventure

Polish cuisine itself is a delightful discovery. From pierogi and żurek to hearty bigos, trying traditional Polish dishes added an authentic flavor to my journey. And when I ventured beyond local cuisine, Warsaw’s diverse culinary scene, from Georgian and Vietnamese delicacies to Turkish delights, made it nearly impossible to sample everything in just two days.

🏛️ Iconic Monuments

One of the perks of exploring Warsaw solo is that many of its iconic landmarks are within walking distance from one another. Strolling through these historical sites felt like walking through the pages of a history book, with each place whispering stories of Poland’s past into my ears.

Palace of Culture and Science: An iconic symbol of Warsaw’s skyline, this towering structure dominates the flat cityscape and offers breathtaking views from the observation deck.
Museum of Fryderyk Chopin: Housed in a beautiful historic building, the museum captures the spirit of the legendary composer. Although I didn’t explore the exhibits, due to time constraints, the architecture alone was worth the visit.
The Royal Castle: Standing proudly in Castle Square, this historic structure tells the tale of Poland’s past. The square in front of it is rich in atmosphere and history makes it a perfect spot for soaking in the city’s heritage.
Palace of King Jan III: The grandeur of this baroque palace and its serene gardens transported me back to the 17th century, where I imagined royal banquets and elegant dances.
The Mermaid Statue: This legendary protector of Warsaw stood proudly, embodying the city’s strength and resilience.
Lazienki Palace and Park, including Belweder Palace: Strolling through the lush greenery and admiring the classical architecture, I found peace and tranquility in the heart of the bustling city.

🔭 Copernicus Science Center: A Must-Visit

The highlight of my trip was the Copernicus Science Center (Centrum Nauki Kopernik). Bursting with interactive exhibitions, it’s a haven for curious minds of all ages. The exhibits raised awareness about plastic and CO2 pollution, delved into the wonders of physics, biology, genetics, and medicine, and demonstrated the transformation of light and waves. There were even lessons offered in separate rooms, though, unfortunately, only in Polish. The most fascinating feature? A mannequin of Nicolas Copernicus answering questions—again, only in Polish. I could have easily spent hours here, getting lost in the world of science and innovation.

🕯️ A Sobering Experience: The Warsaw Ghetto Markings

Walking through the remnants of the Warsaw Ghetto was a poignant reminder of the city’s tragic history during the Holocaust. These markings serve as silent witnesses to the suffering endured by thousands of Jewish residents during World War II.
