Walking the capitals of Europe: Coat of arms of Warsaw Warsaw

If you enjoyed my previous articles in which we discussed wandering around Copenhagen and Vilnius, you’ll definitely love exploring Warsaw.

Time to put comfy sandals on!

The best time to visit the city is in July and August when it’s cool enough to not break a sweat and hot enough to enjoy summer. The city which has quite a combination of both old and modern textures is located by the river of Vistula.

The historic See on Google Maps Old Town, which was reconstructed after World War II, with its late 18th century characteristics, is a must-see. You can start your walk from the See on Google Maps Nowy Świat Street which will take you straight to the Old Town.

Then you can go to the See on Google Maps Powiśle area and take a walk on the newly renovated promenade on the riverfront. There are also lots of cafes, bars and restaurants where you can shake off the exhaustion of the day. On Sundays, there are many parks where you can enjoy nature or listen to pianists from around the world playing Chopin.
