Polish city praised abroad. "I didn't expect to like it so much"

Many foreign tourists choose Krakow as their first destination for a trip to Poland. It is in the City of Polish Kings that all the historical monuments are concentrated in the strict center, creating an extremely compact and intuitive space to explore. Warsaw is a bit different, because not everything can be found within a short walk. Despite this, more and more travelers are giving the Polish capital a chance. "Warsaw does not impress you right away. It is not Paris or Rome, but that is the point. It reveals itself slowly and leaves you wanting to return," writes British METRO.

The British write about Warsaw

Although Warsaw has been an important point on the tourist map of Europe for years, in the minds of many travelers it is still a rather avant-garde destination. Foreign tourists sometimes end up here by accident, tempted by cheap flights. According to a journalist from British METRO, there are many moments of surprise during their stay. "I didn't expect to like it so much," say travelers who after a few days notice much more of Warsaw's advantages. "The city has gone through many stages: struggles and desperate attempts to impress. Now it is finally fully itself," we read.

This must be done in the capital of Poland

In addition to the most important monuments of the capital, METRO also recommends several city attractions known mainly to residents. Among them is, for example, a visit to the roof of the University of Warsaw Library, where there is a large garden with a view of the skyscrapers in the center. Tourists visiting Warsaw in the summer should not forget to visit the Vistula River, where it is best to ride a bike or an electric scooter. The article also mentions Hala Mirowska and Mokotowska Street, which has been called one of the most elegant places in the capital. "This is the city's answer to the Parisian Rue Saint-Honoré," we read.
