Local Information
Think of a city that offers a lot of advantages and experiences; a European metropolis that can bring a smile to the faces of tourists, businessmen and art lovers? You’re thinking of Warsaw!
No matter whether you come to Warsaw for business or for pleasure, you will find many attractions perfect for you. As a tourist you will be delighted by the city’s diversity – from renaissance buildings to futuristic skyscrapers. Visit the youngest European Old Town (on the UNESCO list) – rebuilt from the post war rubble; the moving Warsaw Rising Museum; the unique Faras Gallery at the National Museum; the romantic Royal Łazienki Museum; and the iconic Palace of Culture and Science, from where you can look out over the whole city. See Warsaw from the Fryderyk Chopin angle, visiting the museum that bears his name and experiencing dozens of cultural events involving his omnipresent music.
In this dynamic and forward looking Warsaw, also investors see space for their actions and potential for the future. Modern skyscrapers, a 200 year old stock market, friendly infrastructure and creative inhabitants – here lies the heart of business! In spare moments you can feel the rhythm of the city, go for a walk by the Vistula River where by day you will find beaches, and by night music and cinemas in trendy cafes. Uncover the capital’s culinary gems. Find your own paths and discover what fascinates you. Do not hesitate. Warsaw is waiting for you!
