Warsaw Barbican
Warsaw Barbican is a reconstructed semicircular defensive work joining the Old and New Town walls. It suits travelers interested in fortifications and reconstruction and Warsaw's layered cityscape.
Why go
Warsaw Barbican earns time because it lets you follow the physical edge of medieval Warsaw and gain an elevated street-level perspective. Notice red-brick towers, firing openings and wall walks. Compare that with the transition from Old Town lanes to Freta Street. It gives fortifications and reconstruction a specific Warsaw setting.
What to look for

The transition from Old Town lanes to Freta Street.
