The capital of Poland since 1596, located in the east-central part of the country, a fascinating city full of contradictions, by many called imperishable, with its magical soul in locations that do not exist anymore. Warsaw will excite, provoke and inspire you by its atmosphere evoked by a fabulous combination of historical buildings and modern urban architecture.
Heritage
Warsaw’s troubled past, with independence uprisings and wars, obviously casts a shadow over the history of the city. The especially enchanting Old Town, being thoroughly reconstructed and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, shows the remarkable endurance of the capital. Today, Warsaw moves boldly forward and impresses with its charm as a modern, attractive and friendly metropolis attracting millions of tourists every year.

As a city, Warsaw is a friendly place for young people – with about 1.7 million residents, more than 200,000 of them are students. With a focus on creativity and innovation, universities and academies enhance the city’s social and cultural life – attracting people from all over Poland, the European Union and the rest of the world.
Language
