The images of Warsaw as a dull concrete jungle, a wasteland of Soviet-era housing with little appeal remain only with those who havent visited this vibrant city in the past 15 years. The city does undoubtedly have its fair share of problems and whole swathes of its suburbs are indeed dominated by the less-than-imaginative creations of communist-era architects. But there is far more to this metropolis, with a string of things to see, an impressive cultural scene and an increasingly lively nightlife. Warsaw is a real survivor the citys current day existence, especially as a new addition to the European Unions list of capital cities, is impressive in itself.

By the end of World War II, roughly 85% of the city lay in ruins and most of the population had fled, been killed, deported or sent to concentration camps. More than a third of Warsaws pre-war population was Jewish, although there are hardly any traces of this heritage remaining, as the citys prosperous Jewish community was decimated by the end of the war. Much of Warsaws historic centre was painstakingly recreated in the years after World War II, in a move by the communist authorities, which surprised the citizens of the city as it much as it did the West. Some churlish critics have dismissed the new Old Town as being nothing but an unconvincing fake, although the loss of the original was hardly Warsaws fault and many of Europes old towns have undergone similar refurbishment and rebuilding. Somewhat ironically, many of todays Old Town buildings are closer to the original architecture than they were before destruction, as the alterations of the intervening centuries were not incorporated in the reconstruction. The strikingly successful rebuilding of Warsaws Old Town was finally rewarded in 1980, when the entire complex earned its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Situated in the Mazowieckie province, in east-central Poland, the city spans the Wisla (Vistula River) and most of the main tourist sites are on the left bank, while the right bank contains the increasingly fashionable Praga district. The tourist epicentre of Warsaw is the Royal Route, which runs northsouth from the New and Old Towns, past the fashionable shops of Nowy Swiat, the palaces that survived the war and the royal gardens of Lazienki Park, before reaching Wilanow Palace to the south of the city centre. The city also boasts many green spaces, with leafy parks where rowing boats cruise past outdoor cafés, during the summer, and free classical concerts attract crowds in a scene far removed from the dull Communist-era images of Warsaw. The nightlife scene today is equally surprising, with clued-up and increasingly well dressed local youth flocking to the countless bars and clubs of a city that now buzzes after dark.

Although some could argue that Polands cultural and educational seat of power is found, equally, in Krakow, Warsaw is still very much Polands largest city and the focal point of the nations economic growth. The peak tourist season is from May to October, when the weather is most pleasant, although there will be some odd days when the temperature rises above 30C (86F). January and February are the coldest months and temperatures can drop as low as -30C (-22F).

Warsaw's Old Jewish Ghetto District
A trip to Warsaw is not complete without seeing the old Jewish district, turned into a ghetto during the Second World War and the setting of Roman Polanski's triple Oscar-winning film, The Pianist. Located just to the north-west of the city centre, the district can again proudly proclaim its Jewish heritage, with the city's Synagogue, a Jewish Institute and Theatre, as well as the stark memorial to the heroes of the ghetto in a park which will one day become the Museum of the History of Polish Jews.
Warsaw Shopping Guide
Shopping in Warsaw can be an uplifting experience depending, however, on what you are looking for. The key is to look for what the city does best - amber jewellery, leather goods, warm, winter coats and vodka! You can find sophisticated international labels if you look for them, but why not throw yourself into the Warsaw experience and head for where the locals go - the largest flea market in Europe.
Poster Museum Wilanow
Warsaw's Poster Museum at Wilanow, housed within the estate's menagerie building, opened its doors on 4 June 1968. It is home to one of the largest collections of poster art in the world - a truly impressive 55,000 individual items, over half of which are Polish designs.
National Museum in Warsaw
The National Museum in Warsaw houses an impressive collection of art spanning more than three millennia. Its 11 galleries are home to Egyptian and Mesopotamian artefacts, medieval religious portraits, Venetian paintings and works by 19th and 20th-century Polish masters.
Palace of Culture & Science
A "gift" from Joseph Stalin and the Soviet people, Warsaw's Palace of Culture & Science (Palac Kultury i Nauki) remains controversial among Warsovians, given that it had been at the expense of Poland losing its freedom to the East. Modelled on Moscow University, the 42-floor building was, for many years, the tallest in Eastern Europe. Comprising a number of venues, there is also a viewing gallery on the 30th floor, beneath which the whole of Warsaw is displayed.
