The Wilanow Palace and Park (Palac Wilanow)
The Palace in Wilanów belongs to those few places of interest in Warsaw, which remained in its intact form from the period of the Second World War.
Situated slightly off the main track, Wilanów remained almost intact and today you can admire this wonderful baroque royal residence.
Palace of Culture and Science (Palac Kultury i Nauky)
A gift from Soviet Russia, the Palace of Culture and Science was supposed to be a symbol of inventive spirit and social progress. Nowadays the building divides Varsovians into two groups, those who demand its demolition and the others who admire it. You can take an advantage of a great view from the viewing terrace on the 30th floor.
