Why You NEED To Visit WARSAW | Americans LOVE Poland!

Americans first impression of Warsaw! We have fallen in love with Poland and are so excited to show you why you need to visit Warsaw.
We only have two days in Poland's Capital city of Warsaw so we get right into it! We walk around the Old Town, New Town, Presidential Palace, Nowyswiat (Royal Route), Holy Cross Church and get to see the best benches in the world dedicated to Chopin. We visit 2 different Christmas Markets in Warsaw, eat some delicious Polish food and visit two malls : Zlote Tarasy and Elekronia. We barely scratched the surface of all there is to do in this amazing city but we can't wait to share it with you!

Thanks for sharing Warsaw Poland. It is necessary to break down barriers with the current war that exists. Sending the Polish people peace.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Thank you so much, we send our love and best thoughts. We promise to share positive vibes about Poland and encourage our friends to visit as well! We can’t wait to get back!

[@samoht.p]

Chopin was born and composed in the years when Poland was in captivity. This captivity lasted 123 years. During this time, Poland officially did not exist on the world map. Fryderyk Chopin went to France. He composed there and his compositions are filled with longing for his homeland. Chopin lived in France, but his heart was in Poland. Fryderyk Chopin's wish was for his heart to be buried in Poland after his death. He never lived to see a free and independent Poland.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Wow! Truly such a crazy and rich history. The people we met in Poland were so kind and willing to share their life experiences s. They had a great sense of humor and were so hospitable. Thank you for the comment and info, and as always thank you for watching!

in fact, Chopin was born in Dutchy of Warsaw which was a separate international entity, kind of Polish state at that time (1807-15)

[@margsangster8994]

Exactly! I wholeheartedly agree that Poland sails under most tourists’ radar! But lucky for us I guess as I too fell in love with every Polish city I visited when I spent 2 months there last year! Hence I’m going back again to revisit my favourite, Gdansk, again later this year! And yes, I agree that most people think of Poland as dry, boring and not technically up to date! How wrong they are! And cheap!! Omg! Even for an Aussie! I’m glad you love it too! Cheers from Australia

Hot springs in the mountains- definitely winter time is the best to visit . Also , Nędznica castle is something you would wanna visit. The legend says there is treasure hidden somewhere there , Aztecs ‘ gold .

We invite you to come to Poland in the summer when it is warm. You still have many wonderful places in Poland to visit. I am very happy that you like Poland and you had a nice time with us despite the fact that it was winter with us. You should have gone to Zakopane - you could go skiing or use the thermal pools.

Amazing to hear this! Poland is already a place we know we will visit again and we promise to give the smaller places a shot! The food, people and history just can’t be beat!

[@anthonycubadugosz109]

about the Chopins heart, its truth, when Chopin was composing Poland was unfortunately not on the maps, and he used to live in Pairs, before his death he asked his sister to transport his heart to his homeland, Warsaw Poland

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Wow, that whole story is just crazy. It was such a memorable moment visiting that church for us. We had the best time in Poland and can’t wait to go back. Thanks so much for the story and for watching, have an awesome day!

[@VoidCosmonaut]

It is very sad he lived only 33 years. He was extraordinary and could compose so much more if he lived twice that long. I love Szopen's music and his patriotic attitude. Same with Maria Skłodowska. It pisses me off when anglophones skip her real surname and call her "Maria Currie".

[@wiolettapysiak2436]

Warsaw's Old Town is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. And heres what they say about its reconstruction - During the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944, more than 85% of Warsaw's historic centre was destroyed by Nazi troops. After the war, a five-year reconstruction campaign by its citizens resulted in today's meticulous restoration of the Old Town, with its churches, palaces and market-place. It is an outstanding example of a near-total reconstruction of a span of history covering the 13th to the 20th century.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Amazing , thanks so much for the clarification. It was one of the most beautiful town centers we have ever seen!

[@nonperson22]

[@krzysztofwandzioch4622]

Lol jeszcze istnieje?

[@naonaonia]

Czywiscie, że jest w Warszawie. Prawdziwe serce Chopina! To bardzo romantyczna historia! Po jego śmierci wyjęto mu serce. I do Polski przywiozła je jego siostra. W pojemniku ze spirytusem. Polska była wtedy pod zaborami. Pochowano je w kolumnie Kościoła Świętego Krzyża. I do dziś tam jest. W czasie wojny, bombardowań schowali je. Reszta ciała Chopina pochowana jest w Paryżu, gdzie umarł. On sam tak chciał, żeby jego serce było pochowane w Warszawie.

[@tiamia7139]

The "rest of Chopin" is buried at Pere Lachaise in Paris. My daughter and I are going to visit Warsaw next year and I am looking at all the Warsaw videos on youtube. I enjoyed yours very much.

[@grazynamazur6724]

I can not agree that rebiulded Warsaw is Disneyland! Read this: "By the end of the war (WWII), about 90% of Warsaw’s buildings had been demolished and most of its population murdered, significantly greater destruction than was caused by the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Already during the German occupation, Polish architects and city planners risked their lives to document existing historic structures and to plan for rebuilding. After the war’s end, the new Communist leaders of Poland considered moving the capital to another city. No modern city had ever been rebuilt after such complete demolition. Polish patriots who had fought in the resistance argued that the historical architectural substance of Warsaw represented the Polish nation and should be rebuilt. Over the next 7 years, a replica of old Warsaw was constructed. The destruction of the city center was so complete that 22 paintings of city streets done in the 1770s by the Venetian painter Bernardo Bellotto were used to recreate historic buildings. Bricks from the rubble and fragments of architectural details were reused. Warsaw’s citizens returned by the thousands to help in the reconstruction, following the motto, “The entire nation builds its capital.” Unlike the rebuilding of German cities, no foreign funds were available for Warsaw. The entire reconstruction was paid for by popular donations to the Social Fund for the Rebuilding of the Capital." (historynewsnetwork.org/blog/153807#:~:text=No%20modern%20city%20had%20ever%20been%20rebuilt%20after,years%2C%20a%20replica%20of%20old%20Warsaw%20was%20constructed.)

Simply eluding to the attention to detail in the architecture. Thank you for your comment, truly saddening

[@cathulhu3772]

Hop in metro at central station and after 15 minutes you are couple minutes away from Nature 2000 preserve next to Wawrzyszew station with boars, deers, foxes and centuries old trees. Also few bus stops away is Mlociny forest where wharf with free (paid with my taxes) for your enjoyment ferry is located. Every district is like a little homeland and mine kicks ass. Altough currently i have to live next to Varso Tower, i spend all of my free time before (waking up 2 hours earlier to get energy boost) work and 30k steps after to calm down after day at it at Bielany. It is soothing to hear just wind in the trees and songs of birds before half hour later you are next to central railway station. I don't think any other european city, yet aline it's capital can turn 180 degrees on your emotions and mood in 15 5:41 minutes. Edit: i'm drunk AF after concert at Gniazdo Piratów. XD

[@HeresGoodTravel]

This is our favorite comment of the day! And we’re drunk too! Since we were on a limited budget and time frame we weren’t able to see much of the nature of Poland. We traveled US and Canada living in a Prius, maybe we can do something similar there! Anyway, we have added your suggestions to our list for the next time we visit.

It's a huge royal park with palaces (now museums), some ruins, huge lake (with boat rides), thousands of trees, human-friendly squirrels (they run up to you, some even jump on you to get nuts - do not go to that park without a bag of walnuts for squirrels :) ), peacocks and swans. In the summer on Mondays they have free concerts of Chopin music by his monument. We do love our Chopin. :) And there are also theatre plays under the open sky. Anyway, you should def see Łazienki Park when you're back here sometime in the summer. ;)
