about Warsaw
Warsaw lies in the east part of Poland on the River Vistula. Home to roughly 2 million people, Warsaw is the seventh biggest city in Europe. The capital of Poland was heavily bombed during the World War II. The city was almost totally destroyed, but the Poles managed to rebuilt it. Present day Warsaw boasts distinguished buildings such as the 234metre-high Palace of Culture, the baroque Royal Castle, the National Museum and the house of Madam Curie on 16 Freta Street. Warsaw's main avenue - the Royal Way, one of the continent's most impressive stretches of road, is sidelined with cathedrals, palaces, art-galleries and museums.
