Warsaw Old Town

Why go

Warsaw Old Town earns time because it lets you compare a convincing historic streetscape with the evidence of its modern reconstruction. Notice narrow lanes, defensive edges and reconstructed town houses. Compare that with plaques and fragments that reveal the district's wartime loss. It gives neighbourhoods and reconstruction a specific Warsaw setting.

What to look for

• Narrow lanes, defensive edges and reconstructed town houses.
• Plaques and fragments that reveal the district's wartime loss.

Useful to know

• Walk early or near dusk, and include the market place, cathedral and Barbican rather than only the main approach.
