The interior is like from a fairy tale but don't be fooled easily - everything is brand new (the castle was reopened in 1979). If you want to see how Warsaw used to look like there's a great collection of paintings by Bernardo Bellotto - they were used as an example when the city was rebuilt

Take the tram to "Wybrzeże Helskie" stop and enjoy the most beautiful view of Warsaw's skyline with the Old Town at first and the skyscrapers in the background. Also don't miss the neon sign on the other side of the bridge ("Most Gdański" stop) - it says "nice to see you" and won the competition of the new neon for the city

Once you scratch the dust you're in for a treat. The pre-war houses are really beautiful, even if a little bit rusty and crumbly. The life is slow there, locals catch up in front of the shops and as soon as you say "dzień dobry" they warm up to you. You can also find some decent street art around

The interior of this place is simply stunning! I keep wondering how students can learn in such an amazing surrounding. It really looks like Harry Potter's Hogwarts, only in the lighter colors. This is probably one of the best hidden gems of Warsaw.

You should not miss one of the greenest spots in Warsaw which is just a short walk away from the touristy old town. It is a great place to read, study, have a picnic lunch or enjoy a bit of sunshine. The lower garden is open to the public every day, while the upper garden is closed for the winter months (November-March).

This is an absolute must when visiting Warsaw. Walking into Łazienki, which means walking into the bathrooms in Polish, is actually pretty much like walking into the XVIII century. You may visit the palace that the last king of Poland built as his personal SPA resort, and then drop by a small charming café located exactly under the old oak trees.

You can easily get lost (in your thoughts and in the cemetery itself) for few hours, wandering around and learning about the Jewish community and its tragic history. This is one of the most impressive Jewish graveyards you will ever see!

Neon Museum is a must in Warsaw but when you are done with it be sure to wander around Soho Factory grounds too, look for even more neons strewed around, peek inside the shops or visit another museum, showing the life in Poland during the communism time. Soho Factory is the best in the warm days when you can just relax on the deck chairs there.

Metro Plac Wilsona won the MetroRail 2008 award of being then the best recently constructed station in the world. It looks like a giant shell or the inside of an UFO, but certainly worth checking if you are into modern architecture.

MDM stands for Marszałkowska Housing District located in the heart of Warsaw, an excellent example of early socialist realist architecture.

Of all the Vistula beaches this one offers the best view - the Old Town is just across the river from La Playa. That makes partying here whole lot better! Also it makes you realize that you're in the big city even if you completely don't feel like it, it's more like a perfect summer holidays place!
