While Warsaw may not be the most attractive of European capitals, dominated as it is by Soviet-era architecture, Poland’s recent economic resurgence has produced something of a cultural revolution. In recent years there has been an explosion in the number of museums, art galleries and concert halls, showcasing Poland’s fascinating and illustrious heritage. The city thrived during the early centuries of its history, becoming capital of the Kingdom of Poland in 1596, cementing its growing economic and political stature.
Following the end of World War Two a puppet Communist regime was installed in Poland. Despite having been virtually destroyed during the war, Warsaw was entirely rebuilt, although much of it was constructed in the dour Communist style, a legacy which remains to this day. The Old Town however was faithfully restored to its original state and was named as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1980.
Today the Old Town is the most enchanting part of Warsaw, filled with an enviable collection of museums, art galleries, unique shops and intimate alleyways. Warsaw is also one of Europe’s most green cities, with many parks and open spaces. And with an increasingly vibrant nightlife borne of Poland’s growing prosperity, Warsaw may be a historic city, but it is without doubt one of central Europe’s most dynamic, exciting and forward looking.
