For me an underrated city. I enjoyed Warsaw. I was naive. Didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. Love the old town area and uprising museum.

[@BenRobson123]

Learning about the Uprising was so interesting, and insane how the city has been completely rebuilt from almost complete destruction

[@krystynarubiec1260]

Wow! This is by far the best presentation of Warsaw from a tourist/guest from abroad I've come across YT. Attractive narration, cultured language, carefully picked observations and background information and last but not least very tastful choice of music. Bravo!

[@janhusar9105]

Mało widziałaś.

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you very much Krystn! Glad you appreciated the work & effort put in 😊

[@benburns5995]

Hi Ben, really enjoyed this video of Warsaw Poland. I play Piano and are familiar with the Composer Chopin. I never knew the story of his Heart being preserved so that was fascinating to hear. The resiliency of the Polish people is really amazing as well. Having so much of Poland decimated during World War II it is amazing that they have rebuilt it like nothing happened by it's appearance today. Hope you have enjoyed a lot of the famous Polish Cuisines during your stay in Poland. Looking for to your next video exploring where Adolph Hitler spent a lot of his time during the war.

[@BenRobson123]

I’m glad Ben. That’s really cool, it’s such an amazing tale isn’t it. For sure, it’s incredible that a city still stands today. Hope you enjoy coming along with me to explore Wolf’s Lair next Sunday!

[@hollylewis5302]

Poland is stunning! Thank you for taking us there. Chopin! I'm a musician so that was extra special. 15??? Wow! Some people are just given gifts to lift up the world like Edward Van Halen, whose hand is my profile pic. The Nazi's were pure evil! Who would want to destroy such beauty? Only madmen! I'm glad they had art to reconstruct the city. Art, Music, Theatre, Dance, Writing should all be taught in every school, for these things keep record of our existence. xo

[@BenRobson123]

Thanks Holly. For sure, her performance was incredible, I couldn't believe her age. It's such an incredible story of how they managed to build the city again from ruins. Thanks for the comment and support as always 😊

[@David_Dibbert]

Another fantastic video Ben. Warsaw is such a great city, I really enjoyed visiting the uprising museum. 👍

[@BenRobson123]

Thanks David, appreciate the support as always!

[@barrysteven5964]

What an absolutely fantastic film! I am a huge fan of Warsaw. I am SO glad you took the time to do some background on the war because without that you can't really understand Warsaw. I would recommend also reading up on and/or watching a few films about the Jewish Ghetto. It's a harrowing tale and there are just a few places where you can see remnants of the wall the Nazis built to lock the Jewish population in and some places where there are bricks in the pavement marking out where it was.

[@BenRobson123]

Absolutely, the Warsaw Uprising is an incredible and disturbing story which really makes it incredible to keep in mind when walking. That sounds very interesting too. Thanks for the comment!

[@cetus4449]

Why do you only mention the Jewish part of the city's history? There are films, photos, studies and memories relating not only to the Ghetto, but also to the 1939 war, the occupation and the Warsaw Uprising. Why don't you recommend them? Why do you use the misleading euphemism "Nazis"? The Nazis were members of the NSDP party, and not all Germans belonged to it - but it was the Germans who started the war, attacked Poland together with Russian communists and for 6 years plundered the country, massacred the population, and razed its capital to the ground. It was the Germans who did it, not some mythical "Nazis"

[@wieslawtarka5238]

Congratulations. An intelligent and very well presented video.

[@BenRobson123]

Thanks :)

[@tally1604]

I was in Warsaw in the 80s when it was under russian occupation, and it was grey and drab. Neglect everywhere. And look at Warsaw now, what a transformation! Poland is full of beautiful gems unspoiled by mass tourism. Go there before the secret is out.

[@BenRobson123]

That must have been so interesting. I can imagine it being a completely different place! Poland is certainly a growing destination

[@WalkWorldYouTube]

Nice footage and commentary. Inspiring - I'm tempted to add some commentary to my Warsaw vids now!

[@BenRobson123]

You should! Thank you

[@EA00000]

I love your vlogs and your history information 😊 great job !

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy them 😊

Ugh looks stunning so jealous! I wanna go

[@BenRobson123]

Was incredible mate

[@yakeosicki8965]

9:32. The building on the left side of the screen is Varso Tower. It was designed by Foster (he's the designer of the London Cucumber). This building is 310 m high and is the tallest building in the EU. You will be able to see the Palace of Culture and Science from above next year from the observation deck. In the Royal Łazienki Park, you can enjoy free concerts at the Chopin monument every summer Sunday. Łazienki Królewskie is the summer residence of the last Polish king, August Poniatowski. At the end of the royal route there is the Wilanów Palace (the only undamaged palace in Warsaw. It was the summer residence of King Jan III Sobieski. It was he who defeated the Turkish invasion near Vienna and protected Europe from Islamization.

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you for the information!

[@EdwardReadsBooks]

Great as always my friend!

Thanks Ed mate!

[@PrzekletaTechnologia]

You are very nicely prepared for the filming! Very good research! :)

[@leahmayne3031]

Fantastic video Ben, I absolutely love the added history information, makes your videos so unique. Thank you

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you Leah, I'm glad you find them unique. It can be hard to see the value in my own work sometimes :)

[@lukemarshall6508]

Ugh I wanna go!

[@callumkent7155]

Also looking forward to that wolfs lair video Ben. It’s on my list to do. Being a WW2 history Buff really does take you to some beautiful places. I have done most of Germany now so need to focus more on Poland

[@BenRobson123]

It was class Callum. You’d love it. Hopefully I can put together an interesting video to do it justice

[@lucmichalak]

Eager to see more cities covered with your canny depiction of the gems. Seen Q&A - sorry it is another lad (haha) - but I think, you should find sum lass hin and stay here 🙂 Keep up the good work, subscribed with pleasure

[@BenRobson123]

😂 thank you, I appreciate that! I’ve got plenty more vids on my channel if you want to join me on more adventures!

[@ngup001]

Another fab video Ben. You must have been out early as would expect the city to be more busy!

[@BenRobson123]

Yep, started filming about 6:30AM!

[@erj3397]

Beautiful movie. Thank you for your work

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you!

Monday Morning thats the clue word

[@lenabis3206]

Świetny film. Dużo faktów historycznych. Za to duuuży plus, bo bez nich trudno zrozumieć istotę miasta. Zastanawia mnie tylko jedna rzecz. Dalczego nikt z Was, zagranicznych podróżników, nie pokazuje Zamku Królewskiego z drugiej strony ( od strony Wisły)? Nie podoba się Wam, czy nie wiecie, że zamek ma drugie (moim zdaniem ładniejsze) oblicze?😊🤔

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you! I guess with it being out of the old town, most people probably don’t think to wander over that way, myself included 😊

[@MichaelGrijalva-g7j]

Another fantastic video, Ben. Keep them coming! I was glad to see that you included a shot of your great looking meal! It looked delicious!!

[@BenRobson123]

Yes, finally some proper food haha! Thanks as always 😊

[@user-sf8jj2ed9g]

Would love to see you re-visit some of the National Parks in the UK again like the Lakes, the Peaks and Snowdonia. I particularly enjoy your hiking videos.

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you! Maybe that’s something I could start again as I have a bit more of an audience now 😊 Stay tuned for my vid in a couple of weeks though, some of the best scenery I’ve ever seen!

[@UkuBxlUku]

As usual great video. Warsaw is very nice. A lot of history next to good modern vibe.

[@BenRobson123]

For sure. Thanks for the comment and watching :)

Thank you Piotr!

Ogólne wrażenie - great job! 👍 Przepięknie skadrowane! 🤩🎦 I już wiem czemu obcokrajowcy myślą, że po polskich ulicach niedźwiedzie🐻 chodzą - bo faktycznie można jakiegoś spotkać na mieście. 😉😅 Jak interesują Cię czasy II wojny światowej 🪖 to chyba musiałeś kiedyś odwiedzić Polskę. 😁✈️🧳 Pozdrawiam 🙋🇵🇱🤍❤️

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you for the comment!😁 Yes, I didn't expect to find a bear walking through the streets!

[@SthNothingEverything]

@@BenRobson123 Jeszcze jeden niedźwiedź chodzi po Krupówkach w Zakopanym. Tam akurat biały🐻‍❄️. Ale w Warszawie jest bardziej niespodziewanym stworzeniem. 🤗🧐😳 A Ty już widziałeś oba (a nawet trzy niedźwiedzie - bo jeszcze trzeciego w muzeum w Zakopanym). Spory zestaw niedźwiedzi. 😉🐻😄

[@SthNothingEverything]

@@BenRobson123 Jak interesujesz się trochę II wojną światową, to nie wiem czy słyszałeś o niedźwiedziu (prawdziwym niedźwiedziu!) Wojtku, który walczył z Polakami na froncie. Pomnik tego misia znajduje się między innymi w Edynburgu. Również w Krakowie i we Wrocławiu chociażby. W razie zainteresowania polecam kilkuminutowy filmik o misiu Wojtku: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaK3enR7rMuYnpIsi=2ssp8QuSA3hTl1my

[@aaronlane6876]

Awesome video. Have you ever been to Leipzig. The battle of the nations monument is epic. Can fit in trip to Dresden to

[@BenRobson123]

Thanks mate, and I haven’t. I quite fancy a visit to Dresden actually. Can get a coach over from Wroclaw

[@MNUrkuri]

Great vids!!! Thank you! A suggestion - make use of music by Polish composers - so much to choose from and would be SUPER with the visuals. Dziękuję bardzo!

[@BenRobson123]

I tried to include a couple of Chopin's pieces, what other famous Polish composers are there?

[@MNUrkuri]

@@BenRobson123 Grazyna Bacewicz - she has several pieces that would be excellent. Also Andrzej Panufnik, Wojciech Kilar and Preisner (both film composers), Penderecki might be a bit too “out there” for something Iike this. Szymanowski and Wieniawski (esp violin stuff). Thanks for getting back!!!!

[@ionelcalinmicle6176]

Nice video 🎉

[@BenRobson123]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@eemer123]

Nice video

[@BenRobson123]

Thanks!

[@Romulus980]

Thank you for your historical and knowledgable take on Warsaw. Unlike the Ukraine war of today the Poles had no help towards their uprising against the Germans in Warsaw, yet here we are now in present times a lovely Country with its own independance, and thankfully part of NATO...

[@BenRobson123]

You’re very welcome. It’s shocking that fragments of Polish resistance were left to fend for themselves by the Russians. Always impresses me how Poland has recovered so well after so much destruction!

[@MarcanMC]

Why am I watching a tourist guide to my own city

[@BenRobson123]

Good question 😆

[@stephenhampson1577]

Like Warsaw as last year went back after the 24 hours when covid hit. I like early starts but crikey not betore 7! 😂

[@BenRobson123]

Me neither Stephen, had to drag myself out of bed 😅

[@MarksWorldOfAdventure]

When was this filmed? The city looks really quiet

[@BenRobson123]

I think I started filming at about 6:30AM Mark!

[@MarksWorldOfAdventure]

@@BenRobson123 is this your standard technique? Film early in the morning, go for a nap, then film again in the afternoon / evening?

[@BenRobson123]

@@MarksWorldOfAdventure it’s something I do a bit more now. Beats the crowds early in the morning, but the lack of sleep & early start catches up. Plus filming can be quite intense, so a little chill out through the day is nice!

[@triggercky9928]

What month did you visit ?

[@BenRobson123]

I was there around the 12th June :)

[@triggercky9928]

@@BenRobson123 ah great video. I've been several times. Just booked for October for a few days. It can be really nice in autumn when it all turns orange when the leaves fall. Just hope for very little rain . Enjoyed watching your video !

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you! That does sound lovely, and the crowds will be much quieter which is always a bonus. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, enjoy your next trip 😊

Hello from Warsaw. ❤ Beautiful video.

👋 thank you

great vid...thanks for sharing, cheers

Glad you enjoyed!

[@matrixmannn]

Ok. ale muzykę źle dobrałeś. W sekwencji z sercem Chopina brzmi "Dziadek do orzechów" Czajkowskiego, a to jest ruski i to raczej jest zgrzyt bo pewnie nie wiesz ale Polacy nie lubią Rosji, zwłaszcza teraz. Powinna być muzyka Chopina Mogłeś jako podkład dać jakiegoś Mazurka Chopina. 😊😊

[@vonpless]

i po co ten protekcjonalny ton?

[@BenRobson123]

Thanks for letting me know, I didn’t realise. I also included a few of Chopin’s pieces. Though, does a man’s art from 130 years ago have to become tainted or political just because he’s from Russia?

[@matrixmannn]

@@BenRobson123 Ok., długo by to tłumaczyć i masz prawo tego nie wiedzieć tak jak my nie wiemy o wielu stosunkach indiańsko amerykańskich. Sprawa stosunku Polaków do Rosji to nie jest sprawa bieżąca ale ma wielowiekowe korzenie, a pamięć zbiorowa jest bardzo długa. Jednakże biorąc pod uwagę dzisiejszy obraz świata i sąsiedztwo Polski z Rosją to znowu jest aktualne.

[@vonpless]

@@BenRobson123 well, it does not. We still watch russia classic ballet and read Tolstoy (although not Dostojewski). We have hard issues with Russia - but still, their classic music is just music. BTW, if someone is complaing about culture stuff - should not use offensive words like "rusek". We may dislike what Russians are doing in Ukraine and we may not be happy with what they did to us - but still, they are Russians, not "Ruskis". And after all I do hope we can find in Russia at leat few decent people, who are not proud of that war.

[@ala-ef3sw]

@@matrixmannn Nie uprawiaj propagandy. Powinniśmy pokojowo współpracować ze wszystkimi narodami. Zresztą Czajkowski miał korzenie polskie, na co także wskazuje brzmienie jego nazwiska.
