Warsaw is the capital of Poland. Warsaw’s history of rapid development after many wars that ravaged and destroyed the city has earned it a reputation as a “phoenix city”, able to recreate itself from the ruins and regain its erstwhile glory every time. Today, Warsaw is a bustling metropolis and one of the European Union’s fastest-developing capitals and the Union’s ninth most populous urban centre. It boasts a mixture of new and old in its eclectic architectural mix, and is constantly changing. While quite sprawling, it is quite easy to navigate for tourists thanks to a good public transit system, and most important sights are quite close to each other. There is no shortage of accommodation options and a wide choice of restaurants and bars. Warsaw’s nightlife is also on a rebound, and a reborn cafe culture has taken over the city. There is a large variety of museums, galleries and other tourist attractions, and there is always something happening throughout the year.
