WARSAW | Poland's Fascinating Capital in Winter 🇵🇱

[@JamesKeller1993]

There are three reasons why I keep coming back to this channel: well-researched background info, great cinematography, and authentic travel tips. This video exceeds in all three. Well done, Jack!

[@JackRoaming]

Thanks a lot!

The country of Poland always existed here, since it was founded in 966, until now, with the only exception of 123 years of partitions around XIX century, and 5 years during WW2. Plus at some stage in the medieval period it underwent a process of feudal fragmentation into independent provinces (still ruled by Piast dynasty) that reunited 100 years later.

[@melanzwkuchni4393]

Well, years of bullshitting about "Commonwealth" instead of "Poland" (coming mostly from Poles...) made some people think that there was no Poland that time.

[@markgellert1]

Another superb vlog! I knew that Warsaw experienced a lot of destruction in WW2, but I had no idea that it was so all-encompassing.

[@JackRoaming]

Thanks! All-encompassing is indeed the right word.

[@Prettypolly2011]

I’ve from the UK but have been to Warsaw twice (both times via train from Krakow). It’s a nice and civilised place to spend some down time - and I’m back to see Metallica there in July (although I’ll go via Gdańsk this time and see that city for the first time).

[@IhaveBigFeet]

Good choice, I'm Polish and recommend Gdansk to foreigners and sometime Wroclaw. I think it's the best city. I've never recommended Warsaw to anyone.

[@antekp2965]

7:45 it is a monument dedicated to sappers and its form symbolizes a mine explosion

[@SuperYankis]

greetings from Lithuania! I like your accent, sounds like German. I have never been normally to Poland, one day would like to visit Baltic coast, mountains and capital there. Thanks for the vlog!

[@JackRoaming]

Thanks!

[@semacomer]

Kraków Gdańsk are musts - real absolute gems

[@wizardman1976]

7:48 This is "Glory to the sappers" monument

[@amazegaming7044]

Warsaw is underrated so many more people should come visit! It a amazing city

no sure about that)

[@waldemarnicpon7920]

A2s for the fact that Warsaw was almost completely destroyed, you are right and not as a result of war fighting but as a result of the planned blowing up of the city by the occupation forces. However, not by the Nazis but by the Germans. In occupied Warsaw there were trams and buses with the sign "For Germans only", no one has ever seen the information "for Nazis only". It is also true that about 200,000 citizens died in Warsaw, but in direct combat about 120,000 . The rest were victims of mass murders, which were carried out by the Germans.

[@markgellert1]

So, what's your point? You are just repeating what he said. The Nazis were in charge of Germany so it is 100% clear to everybody that the Germans were following Nazi orders.

6:28, Do they take card in restaurants and malls?

[@JackRoaming]

Yes.

[@kevin19358]

Got it. Thanks.

[@kevin19358]

Thanks for the heads up. Today, I am flying to Warsaw for the 1st time, I am looking forward to my trip. Question, is it safe to walk at night, is it safe to drink tap water, do restaurants and malls close early on a random day and accept card and for some, is it free to use the restroom in restaurants and malls or have to pay?

[@JackRoaming]

Yes very safe and you can pay by card everywhere.

[@kevin19358]

Really? No way, wow. Thanks. Last question, for some restaurants and malls, is it free to use the restroom or have to pay?

[@JackRoaming]

Depends. Some might charge

[@kevin19358]

I see. Okay I will keep a eye on it. Thanks.

[@slavomt5832]

I like contrast when visiting cities, just like you. Warsaw has a lot to offer. Great, unique history, safe streets, good international, local and vegan food, many museums, good public transport and young energy. Prices are also attractive. 🤍❤

[@GreatCityAttractions]

Nice video Jack.

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

I'm assuming the Chopin museum was rebuilt after WWII as well or was it spared Hilter's wrath?

[@JackRoaming]

Correct, the building where it is now was rebuilt in the 1950s after being destroyed by the Nazis. It was actually a 17th century castle that belonged to a noble family.

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

@@JackRoaming Thanks for the info. Hope you bought some warm shoes. Remember those shows you wore to Norway? Time to buy some boots.

[@JackRoaming]

You might be surprised but I am wearing the same ones;) They survived the North Cape so they will survive Poland aswell. @@loudmouthnewyorker2803

[@dzejrid]

Viewing terrace in PKiN is the best place to see Warsaw because it is the only place in the whole city where you can't see the Palace.

Man, it is hilarious if german is promoting Warsaw. I mean i know that you are not soldier or nazi from 1944, but still it is interesting. However now Europeans are Europeans and they should unite

[@markgellert1]

He is not German, he is from Luxembourg. His country was occupied by the Germans in WW2, just like Poland.

[@avitalsheva]

OK even if, but his English is with very recognizable german accent as his first language is german. @@markgellert1

[@markgellert1]

As an American, I think his English is excellent. Slight accent, yes, but flawless in every other way. Also his first language is Luxembourgish (a Germanic language yes, but not German). I actually have distant relatives in Luxembourg and I know that they get very offended when you say that Luxembourgish is German. Anyways, from following his channel, he speaks at least five languages fluently, so I think you can cut him some slack ;)

[@avitalsheva]

I am not saying that his English is bad. I just make a point that the English he speak, is definitely " germanish" . I think we can agree that is very typical accent and prononciation from germans / austrians and let it be luxembourg included as well@@markgellert1
