Day 1:
We arrived in Warsaw Central Station late morning by train from Krakow. We were staying at Novotel Warszawa Centrum hotel which is just a 10 minute walk from there.
After checking in at the hotel we walked back towards Zlote Tarasy Mall that is located next to the Warsaw Central Station.
Karen ordered a Pad Thai while I went with a falafel plate. After lunch we walked to the busy Nowy Swiat street.
We came upon the Warsaw University building as well as Holy Cross Church.
While walking the street we came upon a Chopin bench. There are many such benches around the city that allow you to play a sonata by the maestro at the push of a button.
After walking for a while we reached the Saxon Garden and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of it.
We really liked the tranquility of the Saxon Garden and the various statues in the park.
From Saxon Garden we walked onwards to the Old Town Warsaw.
The Castle Square was quite lively and a good place to sit and people watch.
After spending some time at the Castle Square we decided to head for dinner. We had researched a Georgian restaurant called Rusiko that we wanted to give a try.
Walking towards Rusiko, we came across Polish National Opera building and the Warsaw Meridian in front of it.
Day 2:
This day was our last day of the trip before we were flying back home. We had already walked the Old Town and Nowy Swiat on our previous day in Warsaw. On our last day we wanted to spend the time in the quiet Lazienki Park.
The Lazienki Park (also known as the Royal Baths Park) houses the Palace on the Isle which used to be the summer palace of King Stanisław August.
The Lazienki Park is quite big and so much greenery. We came across a few beautiful statues in the park.
Before we knew it, it was afternoon and time to leave for the airport.
