Exploring Warsaw's Old Town

Like many cities in Poland, Warsaw's Old Town was completely rebuilt after World War II. However, it was meticulously reconstructed based on historical records, making the "new" Old Town a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Polish people's dedication to preserving history is truly admirable. Starting from the New Town and heading towards the Barbican, you enter the Old Town. Here, you can see the Mermaid Statue and stroll through the Old Town Market Square. Along the way, you'll pass landmarks such as the Cathedral, Castle Square, St. Anne's Church, and the must-visit Holy Cross Church, where Chopin's heart is buried. You might also come across Chopin music benches, where visitors can take a break and enjoy piano melodies. While traces of war remain, Warsaw has transformed into a modern city beyond its Old Town.
