The Old Town Market Square in Warsaw, Poland is like a colorful and cute town straight out of a picture book. ❤️ 《Warsaw Old Town Market Square》 While the Royal Castle Square is also lovely, I personally prefer the quaint and charming Old Town Market Square. In the center of the Old Town Market Square, there is a statue of a mermaid. 🧜 (📷️3rd photo) The Royal Castle Square and the Old Town Market Square are two nearby squares, about a 5-minute walk apart. The atmosphere at night is also stylish. 🌃✨ Therefore, when staying in Warsaw, I recommend booking a hotel in the Old Town so you can visit as many times as you like!

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Local delicacy in Warsaw, Poland, fried pork chops bigger than your face! I thought the fried pork chops in Vienna were already very large, but I didn’t expect to eat a fried pork chop bigger than my open palm at Restauracja HEKTOR1970 in Warsaw. It was really amazing! Restauracja HEKTOR1970 is located in the center of Warsaw. The red brick interior has an Eastern European style and is antique. It mainly provides traditional Polish cuisine, and even the cooking method follows the old Polish flavor. It can only be said that the taste is full of flavor. The pork chops we ordered were thinly sliced, coated with flour and deep-fried. They had a strong meaty aroma and tasted fresh and juicy. However, since they were fried, they still had to be served with some sauce to make them less greasy. It was definitely worth a try. #PolandTravel #Warsaw

At Frederic Chopin International Airport in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, I used the business lounge, which is free for business class passengers, paid (PLN180) for premium economy passengers, and not available for economy class passengers. 🥂 There are two lounges, and the one I used upon arrival is called 'POLONEZ'. It is said to be named after a piece of music by the Polish composer Chopin. 😌🎶 When I arrived, it was early morning and quite crowded, possibly due to overlapping flights, but it calmed down after a while. 🤍

On my way back from Budapest to Narita, I used the MAZUREK Lounge during my layover in Warsaw🍽️ This lounge is only accessible to business class and premium economy passengers, not to those with credit cards⭐️ I was impressed by the extensive drink selection and the buffet-like lineup that was more than just light snacks🥺🍴 I was able to spend my layover time at the airport in a very elegant manner🤍 By the way, in European Schengen countries, there are no immigration procedures, so it's very easy to travel between them🤗🌿

#holidayseason 🎄✨ The holiday season has officially begun!

#PoolHotel #100TravelWays During my Eastern European trip, I came to the Polish capital #Warsaw and stayed at the #WarsawMarriott Hotel Hotel Marriott Warszawa opposite the Central Station. The location is first-class and the price is also relatively cheap among all Marriott hotels. Maybe it’s because the prices in Poland are relatively low? The hotel's public facilities have been renovated to maintain their usual standard. There is a standard swimming pool, but it is indoors. Perhaps it is because the weather in Poland is cold, so instead of having an outdoor swimming pool, it is better to have an indoor heated swimming pool, which guests are more willing to use. The basic deluxe twin room costs about NT$4,500, but the room is slightly smaller, about 6 square meters, and the overall facilities are also relatively old, showing a sense of age. The most amazing thing is the view from the room, because it is one of the highest buildings in Warsaw city, with less obstruction and better vision, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire Warsaw city from the high building. The lobby maintains the usual grandeur of a star hotel, with a large panoramic bar and a rich breakfast. The overall CP value and stay experience are pretty good. #PolandTravel #WarsawAccommodation #WarsawMarriott Hotel #PoolHotel #100TravelWays #EasternEuropeFreeTravel

#cityscape #100waysoftravel #poland #warsaw We went to the Palace of Culture and Science observation deck on a cold, windy, and rainy evening. Located on the 30th floor, 114 meters above ground, it offers the best panoramic view of Warsaw’s expansive cityscape. The moment we stepped outside, the gusts of wind howled through the railings, and the rain lashed against the glass, but the sight below was captivating. The city stretched out in every direction, its streets illuminated by shimmering streetlights and passing cars. Iconic landmarks, like the Royal Castle and the Vistula River, appeared faint through the haze, their beauty softened by the drizzle.

#fallcolors #100waysoftravel #garden #autumn #autumnday We hadn’t planned to visit Saxon Gardens, but as we walked past on our way to Warsaw Old Town, we were irresistibly drawn in by the fantastic autumn colors. As one of the oldest public parks in Warsaw, Saxon Gardens has long been known for its peaceful ambiance and beautifully landscaped paths, but in golden autumn, it transforms into something truly magical. The trees, dressed in rich shades of gold, orange, and yellow, seemed to glow in the warm afternoon light. Leaves drifted gently to the ground, forming a golden carpet underfoot. Autumn in Warsaw is a special time when the city’s parks, like Saxon Gardens, offer a stunning retreat from the urban pace, and we couldn’t resist taking an unexpected, tranquil detour through this colorful autumn oasis.

#fallcolors #100waysoftravel #poland #warsaw Our visit to Ujazdowski Park on a beautiful sunny fall afternoon was like stepping into a painting. The golden and amber hues of the autumn leaves danced in the sunlight, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Every path was lined with trees shedding their colorful foliage, the ground covered in a soft blanket of reds, yellows, and browns. As we strolled through the park, the crisp autumn air filled our lungs, and the peacefulness of the setting made it the perfect escape. The reflections of the fall colors in the park's serene ponds added to the enchanting beauty of the day, making it an unforgettable autumn experience.

#autumnseason Just returned from a fantastic trip to Warsaw, and it’s a city full of surprises! 🏙️ I started my visit in the Old Town, which is beautifully rebuilt after WWII. The colorful buildings and charming streets make it perfect for a leisurely stroll. The entrance to the Royal Castle is €12, and touring the opulent rooms and seeing the grand halls was a highlight. 👑 One of my favorite spots was Łazienki Park. It’s free to enter and offers lovely walking paths, a beautiful lake, and the impressive Palace on the Isle. 🏞️ I also visited the Warsaw Uprising Museum (€10 entry), which provides a poignant look at the city’s WWII history. The exhibits are well-curated and moving. In the evenings, I enjoyed wandering around the vibrant Praga district, known for its lively nightlife and street art. 🍻 Warsaw's blend of historical charm and modern energy made this trip unforgettable. Can’t wait to return! #trip #Warsaw #Poland #CityBreak #HistoricalCharm #TravelAdventures

#autumnseason Just got back from a wonderful autumn day at Park Świętokrzyski in Warsaw, and I have to say, it was absolutely beautiful! 🍁🍂 The park is located right in the heart of the city, next to the iconic Palace of Culture and Science, so it's really easy to find. The best part? There’s no entrance fee, so you can enjoy all the beauty for free! 😍 As soon as I entered, I was greeted by vibrant fall colors—golden yellows, deep reds, and oranges everywhere. The trees were just starting to shed their leaves, creating a soft, colorful carpet on the ground. I loved walking around the winding paths, taking in the crisp air and the lovely scent of autumn. 🌳 There are plenty of benches where you can sit and relax, which I did for a bit, just people-watching and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. There’s also a small pond with ducks and a couple of cute little bridges that are perfect for photos. 📸 If you’re into architecture, the park has some cool sculptures and art installations scattered around that add to its charm. Plus, it’s just a short walk from Nowy Świat street, so I grabbed a coffee to go from one of the nearby cafes and sipped it while exploring. After my stroll in the park, I headed over to the Palace of Culture and Science to check out the viewing terrace on the 30th floor. It’s only a 10-minute walk away, and the views of Warsaw from up there are just breathtaking! 🏙️ If you have more time, the nearby Złote Tarasy shopping mall is great for some retail therapy or grabbing a bite to eat. #trip #warsawautumn #parkswieokrzyski #fallvibes #cityescape #polandexplore

#europeanarchitecture #100waysoftravel #poland #warsaw #Warsawtrip #polandtrip #palaceofculture On a rainy night, my visit to the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw revealed a dramatic and mysterious side of this iconic building. The towering structure, shrouded in mist and illuminated by city lights, took on an almost cinematic quality. The next day, the weather transformed dramatically; under a clear blue sky, the palace’s grand architecture shone brightly, and its intricate façade was vividly displayed. Staying nearby allowed me to experience both moods of this monumental landmark, from its atmospheric, rain-drenched elegance to its vibrant, sunlit grandeur. The Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw is an imposing symbol of the city's post-war history and stands as Poland's tallest building. Gifted by the Soviet Union in 1955, it was a controversial structure, initially seen as a reminder of Soviet dominance. However, over time, it has become one of Warsaw's most recognizable landmarks. The palace's architecture reflects the Socialist Realist style, blending Soviet monumentalism with elements of Polish Gothic and Renaissance traditions. Its intricate façade is adorned with reliefs, spires, and clock towers, reminiscent of classical skyscrapers. Today, the Palace of Culture and Science houses theaters, cinemas, museums, and even an observation deck on the 30th floor, offering panoramic views of Warsaw’s modern skyline. Though its origins are steeped in political symbolism, it has since transformed into a cultural and social hub at the heart of the city

#churches #100waysoftravel #poland #warsaw #Chopin #catholic #catholicchurch #Holycross During my visit to the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw, I was drawn not only by its beautiful Baroque architecture but also by its deep historical significance. The church, one of Warsaw’s most important religious sites, has witnessed centuries of the city’s history, including its destruction during World War II and subsequent reconstruction. While the highlight for many visitors is the urn containing the heart of Poland’s beloved composer, Frédéric Chopin, the church holds even more. It was here that Pope John Paul II, during his many visits to Warsaw, delivered moving sermons, strengthening his connection with the Polish people. The church’s striking twin towers and ornate interior, adorned with religious art and sculptures, serve as a reminder of Warsaw's spiritual resilience and rich cultural legacy. 🕰️Business Hours:The Holy Cross Church in Warsaw is generally open for visitors from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily. However, it's important to note that these hours may vary on religious holidays or for special events, so it's always a good idea to check in advance. Be mindful that the church is an active place of worship, and visitors should plan their visit outside of Mass times to fully explore the interior.

Walking through Warsaw's Old Town feels like stepping into history. Reconstructed after World War II, its colorful facades and cobblestone streets are a testament to resilience. Start at the Royal Castle, then wander through the Market Square, where vibrant cafes and street artists bring the area to life. Admire the Gothic beauty of St. John's Archcathedral, and don't miss the picturesque views from the Barbican. Every corner reveals a piece of Warsaw's rich past, making this walk both a cultural and visual feast. It's an unforgettable experience, blending history, architecture, and local charm #myhiddengems #instatravel #historicallandmarks #localguides

Thankfully, the locals were incredibly helpful, offering directions in fluent English, making the visit even more enjoyable. 🕰️Business Hours: The Warsaw University Library garden is typically open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM during the warmer months, but the hours may vary depending on the season 💰Average Price per Person:Free
