Discover the capital of Poland with a guide in a comfortable minibus
Warsaw is the largest city in Poland, with a population of nearly 2 million. Situated on the Vistula river in the historic region of Mazovia, it dates back to the 14th century. Warsaw became the capital of Poland when King Sigismund III Vasa moved his court from Krakow in 1596. It was by far the most destroyed European city in World War II. First it was bombed in 1939 during the German invasion, and then Hitler decided to burn and blow-up the city in an act of revenge for the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. Following the war, the city gained the nickname ‘The Phoenix City’ after one of the most beloved mythical creatures - the Phoenix - because it has also risen and was literally rebuilt from its ashes. Contemporary Warsaw is the symbol of ambition, persistence and the perseverance of Poles against adversities and the synonym of success and the development of new Poland.
