#SIGHTSEEING
Cross the river!
After visiting the Old Town, the Royal Route and Łazienki you may wonder what to do next. One of our suggestions is to follow Aleje Jerozolimskie (with the palm tree) towards the river, walk over one of the oldest and most picturesque bridges (originally built between 1904-1914, destroyed twice, and twice rebuilt), and find yourself on the posh Saska Kępa, home of artists of all sorts – from great poets to soap opera stars, but at the same time an excellent example of pre-war modernist villa district. On your left you’ll have one of the biggest ‘green zones’ of Warsaw – the Skaryszewski Park, where – with luck – you can see a beaver or two. At this time of the year, at so called ‘golden Polish autumn’ is as picturesque as U can possibly imagine. You can also have a look inside the modern National Stadium. The compound is open daily from 10:00AM to 6:00PM. On your right – one of the most pleasant streets in the city, Francuska, with restaurants serving a vast diversity of meals – from African, though Italian, French to Turkish food. Francuska is also lined with cafes that provide a relaxing atmosphere from morning till evening. A great get-away from the annoying traffic and noise of the city center!
