Warsaw in temperatures in the high 30s is very hard work, as you have to walk a long way in between places of interest. But considering it was all but raised to the ground 60 years ago it's not in bad shape really. The old town is not the best example I've seen but certainly worth a look, with Castle Square and the Royal Castle itself taking pride of place. The so called Royal Way is also very attractive and the Palace of Culture and Science building is magnificent. The Saxon Gardens with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was also a highlight for me, together with the Warsaw Uprising Museum. Otherwise, parks, churches and other museums, including a National Museum, abound. Warsaw is the last capital city I will visit this trip and despite moaning about how exhausting it's been I have thoroughly enjoyed it. There are however a number of countries in Central and Eastern Europe that I have visited during the last three months that I would place before it. A general ensemble of pictures attached, talking of which Warsaw is also home to the Chopin Museum of course!! Off to Gdansk tomorrow!!
