I'm not sure what I think of Warsaw. There's history, but much of the history has also been destroyed. Like much of Poland, there is a lot of construction and in some years I think it will be even better to visit. Warsaw and Poland are going through a lot of changes, and it is noticeable.
Do I Recommend You To Visit?
If you like history, and are looking for a cheap weekend trip: Yes. If you're looking for a romantic getaway or a family trip: Not really.
Will I Come Back Again?
Most definitely. Partly because I was only there for ten hours on a layover.
Weather During My Stay:
Terrible! Overcast, cold, windy. The only advantage was that I could photograph the poster child of "Evil Buildings" - Palace of Culture and Science - in a very evil looking atmosphere.
Best:
The views from the Taras Widokowy Observation Deck was interesting. You can see the Old Town, but also the modern skyline rising in the background.
Not As Good:
Warsaw can feel very Eastern Europe, which necessarily isn't a bad thing, especially since you would want to experience that if you decide to visit. But it is a rought city, and outside of the Old Town quarters it quickly become quite uninteresting to walk around.
