Sightseeing
We recommend seeing this city, one of whose characteristic and interesting features is an abundance of contrasts. The reason for this phenomenon results from the fact that antique palaces, churches, buildings and architectonic complexes, monuments in Warsaw, which had suffered a heavy war damage, were meticulously reconstructed and today stand in the vicinity of edifices inspired by modern architecture. Monuments in Warsaw were highly valued by UNESCO. As a consequence, the Warsaw Old Town was honoured with an entry in the list of the World Cultural Heritage.
Visiting the city can be excellently combined with the participation in one of numerous cultural events, for instance, unforgettable piano concerts in the open air at the Memorial to Frederic Chopin, in Łazienki Park. The generally high level of musical performances in Warsaw comes from the fact that the city receives world class artists who participate in international festivals and competitions, such as, the Frederic Chopin International Piano Competition, International Festival of Modern Music named “Warsaw’s Autumn”, “Jazz Jamboree”, or “Warsaw Summer Jazz Days”.
