We spent the day Thursday touring the sights of Warsaw. It is important to understand that nearly everything in Warsaw was destroyed in WWII. The city was rebuilt after the war, recreating the original wall around the old city, the original palace for royalty, and many other buildings. We began our tour by walking to the Old Market Square area.
We visited the palace that housed Poland's royal families and then went to the royal gardens, where we enjoyed views of smaller palaces, the ampitheater, and the peacocks who roam the grounds.
After this we went to the downtown Warsaw area, to see the Palace of Culture and Science, a building given to Poland by Russia after WWII. We ended the day at the very modern shopping center, Golden Terraces.
