Warsaw Insider Information

• Rebuilt after World War II and since named an UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Town district of Warsaw provides a feast for the eyes.  The Royal Palace and St. John’s Cathedral are the most prominent sites in Old Town.  Mosey through the heart of it all in Old Town Square and stop for a quick bite to eat in one of the numerous, quaint cafes in the surrounding alleys and cobblestone streets.  Between the architectural splendor of its Gothic churches and elaborate entryways, Old Town is a snap-happy tourist’s dream, so be sure to pack your camera while you’re preparing for your cheap flight to Warsaw. 
• Stop and enjoy the scenery after your Warsaw flight in Lazienki Park, home to the pond-side Palace on the Water of Polish patron and politician Stanislaw Herakliusz Lubomirski.  For classical music fans, try booking your Warsaw flights between the months of May and September, when concerts take place in front of the monument built in Polish composer Frederick Chopin’s honor in the middle of the park. The monument was built in 1926, and concerts showcasing Poland’s most revered pianists take place each Sunday of the summer season. 
• Josef Stalin ordered the construction of the Palace of Culture and Science in the early 1950s, which became the tallest structure in Warsaw and the subject of heated debate during the dissolution of the USSR in 1989.  Some residents of Warsaw argued for the destruction of Stalin’s structure when the Berlin Wall came down, but the Palace of Culture and Science survived the fall of Communism and today houses an exhibition hall, a cinema, a theatere and a 3,000-seat conference hall.  If you weren’t able to snag a window seat on your Warsaw cheap flight, head to the 30^th floor of the palace for the best bird’s eye views of the city.
• Warsaw’s present day surroundings are everyday reminders of its tumultuous past. The Jewish Ghetto no longer exists, but Umschlagplatz marks the spot from where residents were sent by train to Treblinka concentration camp. Between Karmelicka and Zamenhofa streets is the Ghetto Heroes Monument, which pays tribute to those who fought in the Warsaw Uprising. Visit the Warsaw Rising Museum to view photographs, interviews, film footage and dioramas from Warsaw’s history.
