Mini Guide to Warsaw
Few cities suffered from the ravages of war more than Warsaw .
For centuries Poland has been a pawn in the fight for European dominance between Germany and Russia . 85% of the city was destroyed during World War II and over half of the city's population were killed. Very few of Warsaw 's 350,000 strong Jewish population survived the concentration camps.
Remarkably, the old town, Stare Miasto, was rebuilt brick by brick after the war, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The huge medieval Royal Castle was the final piece in the jigsaw, and took 13 years to restore during the 1970s and 80s.
Other parts of the city were not so carefully reconstructed, and large areas were given over to soul destroying Communist monstrosities. The ultimate symbol of Warsaw 's Communist era is the hulking Palace of Culture and Science. Poland 's biggest and tallest building was built in 1955, a “gift” from the Soviets.
Warsaw 's progress since the fall of the Iron Curtain has been slow compared to other Eastern European capitals, but investors lured by cheap property prices are starting to open trendy new bars and hotels. This former culinary desert is even starting to attract international quality restaurants.
The best time to visit Warsaw is during the warm summer months, but the late-spring and early autumn ‘shoulder' months are often less crowded.
Accommodation in Warsaw is more expensive than the rest of Poland , but comparatively cheap by British standards – the quality of hotels is improving all the time too.
