Warsaw Tourist Attractions and Warsaw Sightseeing
(Warsaw, Mazowieckie, Poland, PL)



There is much in the way of sightseeing in Warsaw and tourists will be able to experience a range of attractions. Many visitors choose to take a leisurely walk around the city and explore the main tourist attractions within the Stare Miasto, otherwise known as Old Town Warsaw.

A stroll along the Krakowskie Przedmiescie (Royal Way) is not to be missed and links the Royal Castle with Old Town Warsaw. This is one of the most beautiful boulevards in the whole of Poland, being lined with exquisite residences, historic churches and countless tourist attractions, many of which date back as far as the 17th century. For families, take a trip to the city's excellent zoological gardens, or why not consider hiring a gondola at Lazienki Lake.
