Warsaw is the capital and largest city in Poland, situated on the banks of the River Wisła. By rights, it could be called the most beautiful city not only in Poland, but in all of Eastern Europe. Warsaw has a population of roughly 2 million people living in a 500-square-kilometer area. The population of Warsaw is more than 3,000 people.
Warsaw is first mentioned in the 10th century. In the present day town of Warsaw, a small village was formed, and it was mainly inhabited by fishermen. It became a city in the 14th century, and in the 15th century it became the capital of the Great Monarchy. In the 16th century, Warsaw was the capital of the Polish state. From then on, the city began to develop rapidly. At that time, when Poland was part of the Russian state, it was the third most important and largest city in Poland. It took a lot of effort, time and money to restore its historic center. Today, the restored, almost toy-like center of Warsaw is not such an attractive tourist destination. Surprisingly, this is one of the most attractive factors in traveling to Warsaw. In addition, there are a lot of special features as well.
Warsaw is a city that is beautiful in both warm and cold seasons. On their way to Warsaw for Christmas, many tourists are caught up in the huge Christmas sales.
Warsaw has a major airport named after Chopin. It is also not difficult to get to Warsaw by rail, which can be either direct or through. It will take at least one day to travel from Moscow to Warsaw. For those who want to save money, its a good idea to know that there are trains to Warsaw from Brussels, a small town in Belarus, and you can save up to 50\% of the cost of the airfare by taking their services. You can also take a bus to Warsaw. It takes about as much time as a train. But the train, of course, offers more convenience.
You will also need transportation when you arrive in Warsaw. What are the most popular means of transportation in Warsaw? One of the most frequently used means of transportation is the metropolitan. It hasnt been open that long, just 15 years ago. One single branch of the metro is 23 kilometers and has 21 stations. The railroad has been running on the citys roads for three decades now. It was launched in the 19th century. It has a length of 470 kilometers with 34 routes. Nearly 900 machines are operating on these routes. There is also a city bus with a route length of 3,000 kilometers. The buses carry the bulk of the passenger traffic. Ticket prices in the city vary depending on the time of day.
Warsaw is a very varied city, where many different architectural styles from different eras have intermingled. One can see the mix of Gothic and modern skyscrapers in which the Stalinist Empire is built.
The old city of Warsaw is not very big. Tourists can pass through it in a single day. Here they can see attractions such as Castle Square, Corroboro Castle, the Column of Sigismund the Third Vase, Bárbacán, the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, and the Market Square, Church of Our Lady of Grace, St. Johns Cathedral, Palace of Culture and Science, Lazenkov Palace, Viljanuvu Palace, Uyazdowski Castle, Belvedere Palace, Pototoksky Palace.
Each of these features has its own history.
The Castle Square is the main square of the old part of the city. The Castle of Kiev is a castle located in Castle Square. It was destroyed during the war. The castle was built in the early 17th century by the King William Vaza, and was rebuilt many times in the following years. In 1988, restorers restored the structure to its original form.
The Colonnade of Sigismunda Tertiary is one of the oldest monuments in Warsaw, having been built in the 17th century. The column is 22 meters high.
