Warsaw
Much of Warsaw's historic center was painstakingly recreated and today's Old Town buildings are closer to the original architecture than they were previously. There are a wealth of shops and restaurants to potter around in. The city also boasts many green spaces, with leafy parks where row boats cruise past outdoor cafés during the summer and free classical concerts attract crowds of listeners. In addition, the Former Jewish ghetto is a stark reminder of the unforgiving hand of history. The nightlife scene is equally surprising, with the city's increasingly well-dressed youth flocking to the countless bars and clubs of a city that now hums after dark.
Visit and explore the Palace of Culture and Science, Royal Castle in Warsaw, Lazienki Park, National Museum, Copernicus Science Centre, Museum of the History of the Polish Jews, Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Wilanow Palace, and so much more.

Gdansk
Gdansk, the largest Polish seaport on the Baltic, has been the site of many historic moments and the home of many important people. It is the cradle of the centuries-old Kashubian literary and cultural tradition, which still thrives today. Gdansk was the site of the first battle of World War II, on a beach north of town. It was also the site where the Solidarity movement was born, and by extension, the birth of post-Communist Poland.

Auschwitz Birkenau
The Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi Concentration Camp, a haunting emblem of the Holocaust, embodies the depths of human suffering and the systematic annihilation orchestrated by the Nazi regime. Comprising Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, it was a network of terror, encompassing barracks, watchtowers, and barbed wire that entrapped millions. Auschwitz I served as the administrative center, while Birkenau, with its sprawling expanse, was the heart of extermination, equipped with gas chambers and crematoria. The sheer scale of horror within these walls, where countless innocents faced starvation, disease, and extermination, remains an indelible scar on human history. Today, as a museum and memorial, it stands as a poignant reminder of the irreversible tragedy that unfolded, urging remembrance, education, and vigilance against hatred and intolerance.
