It blends a rich historical legacy with modern energy, perfectly balancing old and new architecture throughout the city, and there’s a vibrant cultural scene to match. Visiting the historic ‘Old Town’ district is always high on tourists’ to-do lists. The area features a mix of cultural landmarks, quaint shops and diverse dining locations nestled by the River Vistula. The whole neighbourhood of cobblestone Gothic streets and alleyways was masterfully reconstructed after being destroyed during World War II. If you want to explore this magical location, there are numerous historical guided tours of the Old Town to book and go on.
For a less formal, off-the-cuff experience, you may want to sign up for ‘Pub Crawl Warsaw’. Spice up your night (and life) on a fun-packed tour of Warsaw’s best bars and clubs. Another tourist hotspot is the Royal Łazienki Park, the largest park in Warsaw, occupying 76 hectares. The park-and-palace complex lies in the city's downtown district - the serene parkland features lush gardens, tranquil lakes and historical architecture. Legendary composer Frederic Chopin was born just six miles outside Warsaw, and you can also enjoy free Chopin concerts in Łazienki Park during the summer months.
Warsaw has a fascinating food scene, perfect for those who love trying something different. Traditional Polish cuisine is hearty and rustic, and those looking to get their fill of the local delicacies may want to give Polka a whirl.

The first of its kind in Warsaw, Hala Koszyki takes the food hall concept that is ever popular in other European capitals. The renovated market hall is a great spot to grab a bite to eat, with 18 eateries crammed inside, including trendy restaurants, boutiques, street food, and cultural establishments.

It's particularly popular during the summer when it becomes an easy place to relax while listening to live music.

Prague offers a diverse array of dining experiences that cater to every palate.

Cafe Savoy is an exemplary example of this dining diversity. This luxurious restaurant, located on the left bank of the River Vltava, has been lovingly restored to its 19th-century glory and serves both classic Czech dishes and traditional French cuisine. Breakfast is served daily, and there are a variety of combination offers available for lunch and dinner. Further up the Vltava, on the right bank, is the Michelin-starred Field Restaurant.
