Review of Warsaw
Warsaw
Take flights to Warsaw for hearty Polish food, boutique shopping and historic strolls around Warsaw Old Town.
Things to do
Be inspired by Warsaw's cobbled Old Town, rebuilt from scratch from the rubble of WWII. Here horse-drawn carriages clip-clop past pastel-hued merchants’ houses, neo-Gothic St John’s Cathedral and the turreted Royal Castle.
Shopping
Browse for amber, antiques, fine chocolates and designer fashion on elegant 19th-century boulevard, Nowy Swiat. No Warsaw city break would be complete without pausing for cakes and caviar in luxurious Blikle Delikatesy.
Restaurants
Join hungry Poles in an old-world karczma (tavern) south of Warsaw’s Old Town. Dine heartily on generous helpings of beef stroganoff with dumplings, pierogi (Polish ravioli) and fat pork knuckles with sauerkraut.
Nightlife
Lanterns cast a soft glow over Warsaw Old Town's cobbled lanes and stately plazas by night. A chattering hum rises from pavement cafés and bars framing the Market Square, a perfect spot to relax over a beer after your Warsaw flights.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Warsaw. Time your Warsaw holiday to catch open-air concerts on the Market Square at July's Jazz Festival, or movies at Warsaw International Film Festival in October.
