Warsaw — 3-day itinerary

One day covers the essentials that lie close together.

Pałac Kultury i Nauki · Dawid · Kolumna Zygmunta · Zamek Królewski · Archikatedra pw. Świętego Jana Chrzciciela · Historyczne centrum Warszawy

A second day lets you go beyond the very centre.

Zamek Ujazdowski · Belweder · Łazienki Królewskie · Pałac na Wyspie

Three days are comfortable — enough for museums and places further out.

Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego · Muzeum Więzienia Pawiak · Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich Polin · Pomnik Bohaterów Getta · Pałac Krasińskich

An account lets you save the plan, change it and tick things off as you go.
