How to Spend 24 Hours in Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland
Warsaw聽was a happy addition to my recent trip to Europe, but a short one. Thankfully its compact size and ease of getting around made its highlights accessible. With聽only 24 hours in Warsaw to spend I looked to cover as much ground as possible. Here鈥檚 how it聽went:
My聽24 hours in Warsaw began at the city鈥檚聽most dominating feature, the Palace of Culture and聽Science. This massive Soviet era tower was once the tallest building in Europe, all because Stalin聽wanted it to be. The iconic building once held聽theatres, universities, a Rolling Stones concert (the first behind the Iron Curtain by a western band) and rodent patrolling cats. Beyond that and since the day it was built, much of the building remains vacant. Tours are available which brings you through the grand hallways and inside聽the Congress Hall.聽Visitors can take in amazing views from the observation deck which was a highlight from my 24 hours in Warsaw. Oh, and if you visit in the summertime you just might get聽a glimpse of one of the oldest residents. Much like the 6-toed cats of the Hemingway House in Key West, the descendants聽of those Polish聽felines are still around today. ......
