Go skating!
 

With the mild winter we’re going through this year it’s not really sure if we mean roller-skating or ice-skating, is it?:) Well, as much as we’d like Warsaw to be at least 20 degrees C in December and January, life’s not that easy for us and we definitely get more occasions to go ice-skating in winter time. If you’ve been to the Old Town Sq. already, you know there’s an ice-rink there. Get some fresh air and go skating!

#MUSEUM
 

Learn the history behind the ‘63 days of glory’
 

The 1944 Uprising in Warsaw (that broke out on 1st August and lasted for over two months before it was ruthlessly surpressed) was one of the biggest battles of resistance against the Nazi in Europe during WWII and brought almost complete destruction of the city. The Museum tells the story of tragic events of August and September 1944 in a multimedia-based way. It’s an enthralling journey through the history of the struggle of the people of Warsaw for independence. One of the few museums in Warsaw open on Mondays!

Where: Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego (The Warsaw Uprising Museum).
