Why is Warsaw famous in Poland?
Asked by Wiki User
I visit Warsaw every year, and im always impressed with the new developments and attractions that are opening up. Being a modern kinda guy, i enjoy visiting the city center to gaze at what used to be nothing but rubble after the war, and what it has turned into now. Infact, i would highey recommend visit Zlote Tarasy shopping center, wich is located next to the also recommended Palace of Culture. If you are indeed visiting to do a bit of shopping, you'll be spoilt for choice Warsaw has to give you. You have Zlote Tarasy as previously mentioned, Arkadia (a 10mins Metro ride from the center), Panorama (located in the up and coming Praga), Blue City (15-20min ride by bus from the center) and plenty more! Another place you deffinetly would have to visit is Nowy Swiat Street, lined with only the best shops and resturants, its a wonderful place to walk up and down, beautiful arcitecture and overall a wonderful street.
The Old Town is a must! Id also recommend buying a local burger from one of the burger bars there! There are also beautiful churches near by all with fascinating insides. I still have to visit lots of places in Warsaw and what i have seen now is very impressive. The mix between the old and the new is inspiring, it shows you how far this country has come.
