Palace of Culture and Science

It is hard to miss this place. The Palace is a controversial building for many Varsovians. Some of them feel that it does not fit in with the rest of the city, others regard Warsaw as a „multi”-the spirited city in which there is a place for such a building. The tremendous structure houses restaurants, a university, theatres, cinemas, offices, conference and concert halls, and even a swimming pool – that is over 3000 different rooms. The whole palace is a perfect example of the social realism style of the 50s. The interiors are covered with marble and mosaics, the light gets in through gigantic windows and all this contributes to this place’s one-of-a-kind atmosphere. After getting to the terrace on the 30th floor, the visitor is rewarded with a marvelous view of Warsaw. It simply has to be seen!

Lazienki Krolewskie w Warszawie

A magical place. – in the Autumn it shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow, – in the Winter, covered in snow, it looks like a scenery from a fairy tale, – in the Spring, when everything blooms and awakens, it will give you a gigantic boost of optimism and positive thinking, – and in the Summer it looks like the most beautiful postcard. The Lazienki Park covers the area of almost 80 hectares (!!!). One can find many historical buildings there, some of them erected in the 18th c. Among many fascinating monuments are the Palace on the Isle, the Amphitheatre, the New Orangery, the Chopin Monument and the Myśliwiecki Palace. On a regular day, Varsovians visit the Łazienki Park for a stroll, to have dinner or to attend a concert.
