Christmas is over?

Not in Warsaw! After Christmas you can still enjoy all the lights along Krakowskie Przedmieście and Nowy Świat Street, but people of Warsaw favourites are the Nativity Scenes beside the altars of the oldest and the most beautiful churches and cathedrals of the capital. Located around the Old & New Town they are Christmas peace of art. It's worth to take a walk around them and see them all; it'll take you no more than an hour. Take a look at the map.

The Warsaw Ghetto

It was the largest in Europe occupied by the Nazis. Its population was estimated to be 400,000 people, about 30% of the population of Warsaw at that time.

To imagine the Warsaw Ghetto see (the fragments) of "The Pianist", a film by Roman Polanski
