Warsaw Royal Castle

You will not confuse this building with any other due to its distinctive shape and color. The Royal Castle was the former residence of Poland's rulers. Explore the royal apartments and the throne room on the inside. Pay close attention to original Rembrandt paintings and canvases by Bernardo Bellotto, also known as Canaletto, which were used in the reconstruction of Warsaw after it was destroyed in World War II. See also the Senator's Hall, where the 3rd May Constitution was passed in 1791, the first in Europe and the second in the world.

Enter the beautifully reconstructed gardens at the end: the upper garden on the castle slope and the lower garden at its feet, where the river used to flow in the seventeenth century. It not only complements the residence but is also an ideal place to relax, having been meticulously recreated in the style of the 1920s and 1930s. The expansive lawn, flower beds, fountains, and mazes made of several-meter-high hedges will energize you for more sightseeing. If you have more time, stay a bit longer to see the charm of the garden in the glow of the illuminations after dark.

In winter, in Zamkowy Square, you’ll see an almost thirty-meter Christmas tree, which is a permanent part of the city’s Christmas illuminations. Take an evening stroll through Warsaw's streets to see the illuminations and decorations. This is one of the best places to visit in Warsaw.
