Old Town Market Place

Old Town Market Place is the compact heart of the Old Town, enclosed by reconstructed merchant houses around the Warsaw Mermaid monument. It suits travelers interested in architecture and street life and Warsaw's layered cityscape.

Old Town Market Place

Why go

Old Town Market Place earns time because it lets you study the colour, ornament and uneven rooflines that give the rebuilt square its character. Notice painted façades divided into four historic sides. Compare that with the mermaid statue and lanes opening toward the city walls. It gives architecture and street life a specific Warsaw setting.

What to look for

  • Painted façades divided into four historic sides.
  • The mermaid statue and lanes opening toward the city walls.

Useful to know

  • Pause before the busiest dining period, then explore the smaller streets behind each side of the square.
