About Warsaw
Warsaw, Poland's capital, is a city of resilience. Destroyed by 85% during World War II, the Old Town was rebuilt so faithfully that UNESCO declared it a unique example of reconstruction as a World Heritage site. Today, Warsaw is a vibrant metropolis that combines historical heritage with a dynamic startup scene and exciting nightlife. The Palace of Culture and Science — Stalin's "gift" and the tallest building in Poland — overlooks a skyline that can compete with any European metropolis. The POLIN Museum tells the thousand-year history of Polish Jews. In the trendy Praga district on the eastern bank of the Vistula, you can find street art, neon museums, and industrial ruin bars. Łazienki Park, with its palace on the water, is one of the most beautiful city parks in Europe. Warsaw combines tragedy and triumph, history and innovation into one of the most exciting capitals in Europe.
