Warsaw is the capital of Poland, in Central Europe. Poland has suffered from its neighbours throughout its history, and Warsaw is the classic symbol of this, having been reduced to a heap of rubble by the vengeful Nazis in 1944. Today it is the thriving capital of a member state of the European Union (Poland joined on 1 May 2004), a city of around 2m people on the banks of the Vistula river, benefiting from the transition from Communism to a market economy to such an extent that its GDP is 137% of the EU average (the average figure for the UK is 123% to give a benchmark).

I must confess that my heart sank when I was told that the conference I was to attend would be moved from Krakow to Warsaw, owing to lack of sufficient suitable hotel space. I had twice been to ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Warsaw (Poland)
Advantages: Good looking, nice people, welcoming Disadvantages: may have some language difficulties
Warsaw is a city that has just been newly constructed after the wars. There are now newly constructed roads and buildings around the city and its very busy city.

There is also high security in this city that you can't be afraid of anything like doing business to just visiting. I like the town ...
Advantages: Clean, comfy and central Disadvantages: The odd niggle
Back in early March 2006 we were in Warsaw celebrating my birthday, and had booked in to the Radisson SAS Centrum Hotel.
We had made the booking a month earlier after trawling through various websites, comparing Warsaw's four and five star hotels, their locations, facilities and, most importantly, their prices. We chose the Radisson for the following reasons; it was central, had a swimming pool, and breakfast was included in the price which, at £177 for three nights, was around half the price of the Marriott, which is reputed to be the best hotel in town.
The Radisson is situated in Ul. Grzybowska just off Al. Jana Pawla II, one of the main North - South throughways through central Warsaw. It is a three minute walk from the nearest tram stop and around five minutes from the nearest Metro station, Swietokrzyska, which itself is ...

Manufacturer's product description
This restaurant is situated near Pl. Zamkowy - a place where not only tourists, but also residents frequently find themselves. The interior of the restaurant has been appropriately decorated in an authentic Polish style, with a bit of whimsy to help create a truly unique atmosphere. From the windows you gaze onto a panoramic view of the beautiful Zamek Krolewski (King's Castle). The chef provides exquisite Polish cuisine, keeping with traditional recipes and using only the best ingredients. We recommend a bottle of wine from the cellar to compliment your meal.
