Warsaw : The Phoenix City

Poland?s capital Warsaw is the largest city of the country. It is located on the Vistula River, near the Baltic Sea and the Carpathian Mountains.

Warsaw is one of the leading international tourist destinations and a significant economic hub of Europe. It is known as the "phoenix city" as it literally rose from the ashes. It was rebuilt after surviving the Second World War, when it lay in ruins; its buildings were destroyed and 800,000 of its population perished. When one wishes to explore the city and get to know about its history, its reason enough to book flights to Warsaw.

Warsaw has one of the most exciting nightlife there are clubs and bars all over the city. ?Music, theatre and opera? are also immensely popular among the visitors. There are live and solo musical performances and world class theatre and opera productions throughout the year.

If one is a fan of music and opera then this is reason enough for one to hop on to a cheap plane to Warsaw.

One must visit the many museums in Warsaw to get a glimpse of the city?s sad history, particularly the Warsaw Rising Museum to relive the massive destruction brought about by the Second World War. This can be a bit depressing, however; it can also be a revelation about the city?s rich history.

On the lighter side, one can also visit the splendid palaces of Wilanow and Lazienki. The palaces are majestic and while one is there one can also buy souvenirs to take home as presents. There are many fabulous restaurants here for visitors to try the authentic Polish cuisine and the cuisine of different countries all over the world.

Warsaw is a round the year destination at any time of the year is pleasant to visit the place.

The climate of Warsaw is humid continental, with cold winters and mild summers. July is the month with maximum rainfall. Spring and autumn are usually beautiful seasons, the former crisp and sunny and full of blooms and the latter alternately sunny and misty, and cool but not cold. Autumn is considered to be the best time to travel. This is the reason, more and more travel agents advertise cheap tickets to Warsaw at this time.

When looking for someone to change your dollars to Zlotys...or whatever money one is changing...look for the sign KANTOR. Of course, one may find the best exchange in a bank, but when one is out in the city for an evening and needs help...this is where one goes.
