Warsaw, Poland
Warsaw is the capital and largest city of Poland. The city is among the greenest metropolises on the continent, with the Europe’s wildest river gushing through the center of the city. Warsaw is also known as the "phoenix city", as it recovered from extensive damage during World War II (80% of its buildings were destroyed). Warsaw’s Old Town and Royal Castle are only fifty years old, since, after World War II it was laboriously reconstructed to its present form. It’s a city full of contrasts: monumental Socialist realism neighbors the subtle and ethereal Art Nouveau, and modern-glass skyscrapers tower over the apartment buildings. One of the best known buildings and the most prominent symbols of Socialist architecture is the Palace of Culture and Science with the highest 4-faced clock tower in the world. Warsaw bar, clubbing and music scene is unmatched in the country, and its yearly calendar is filled with theatre productions, operas and art-house film premieres.
