Stroll Around the Old Town Market Square

One of the first things you should do when you first arrive in Warsaw is to go for a stroll around the Old Town Market Square. It is a medieval square located right in the middle of Warsaw's Old Town constructed in the 13th Century when the city was founded. The place is truly the heart of Warsaw and there is no better place to start exploring than here.

Within the square, you will find the iconic bronze mermaid sculpture that had been there since the 19th Century and it is surrounded by some of the most beautiful Baroque-style buildings out there. Whatever colors your mind can imagine, all the surrounding buildings have them. It is one of the most colorful spots in the city and there will be plenty of photo opportunities for you here.
