Opinion: Why Warsaw is the best city in Poland that you should visit

Bykasiawrites November 19, 2019April 3, 2022

I will always argue that Warsaw is the best city in Poland. Many people will tell you that there are better cities in Poland to visit and you shouldn’t spend a lot of time in Warsaw. That’s because they don’t fully understand Warsaw’s history and the effort it took to rebuilt it. For me, to understand Warsaw is to love it. Those that dismiss it as a large city with unremarkable architecture and lack of charm, miss out on a truly spectacular story.
