This is the unquestioned culture, entertainment and economic capital of Poland apart from being its official capital. The Warsaw Must Do's guide will visitors in-depth information on attractions and activities offered by the charming Polish city.

1. Łazienki Palace

Visitors can’t leave Warsaw without visiting one of the city’s most popular landmarks, the Łazienki Palace, which is a picturesque Neoclassic monument floating on Lake Łazienki in Warsaw’s Royal Baths Park. It’s breathtakingly beautiful architectural nuances and master craftsmanship are worth witnessing. The Royal Baths Park is the most expansive spread of greenery in the city and also links the Royal Castle to Wilanow. The Ujazdow Castle housed a little further down from the park is another must see royal destination. The roman influenced amphitheater on the banks of the Łazienki Lake is embellished with antiques and motifs from Poland's cultural past and is a good visit. Come here in the late evening for a spectacular moonlight view of the palace. 

2.  Belwender Palace

Another fine illustration of Warsaw’s tryst with monarchy, the Belwender Palace is built in Baroque style architecture and whispers untold tales of the legacy of King Stanislaw August Poniatowski who acquired it and set it up as a manufacturing plant. The structure has been restored several times yet retains its original grandeur with élan.

3. Old Orangery

This is one of the most beautiful structures to be erected in the late 18 th century in Poland. It is replete with a horseshoe-like architectural pattern, arcaded windows and splendid interiors. The wooden theatre nestled inside the monument is worth witnessing for its quaint 18 th century European appeal and classic auditorium adorned with exquisite paintings, statues and chandeliers. This is a great place to go heritage hunting.  

4. Egyptian Exoticism

Visit the ancient remains of an Egyptian Temple that was erected in 1822 at the southern shore of Lake Łazienki. A towering fortress constructed by Lubomirski flanks it on the southern side and a charming bridge connects the temple to the old part of the town. Witness icons and other depictions of Egyptian civilization within the walls of the northern part of the temple. 

5. Water Tower

Another Neoclassical structure to ornament Warsaw’s streets, the Water Tower was built in the 18 th century by Jan Kamsetzer and restored on the patterns of the Caecilia Metella in Rome. The pristine white cylindrical structure is one of the most gorgeous sights of Warsaw.

For a off-beat holiday that packs in a lot of culture and history and yet salvages you from the bustle of major tourist towns, Warsaw is a great option.
