The capital and largest city of Poland, Warsaw is situated on the Vistula River. Rebuilt after the Second World War, Warsaw is continually growing with a flourishing art scene and a mix of old and modern architecture. Our Warsaw holiday packages, filled with a variety of exciting itineraries, will also tell you why this beautiful capital acquired the title of ‘phoenix city’. After a spate of foreign rulers, Warsaw finally gained its independence in 1918. However, with the entry of German Nazis in 1939 during WWII, followed by the deportation and massacre of Jews in concentration camps resulted in the total demolishment of the entire city. Warsaw was then rebuilt to recover its lost glory and today, it stands tall as a cultural, economic and prominent tourist hub in Europe, even after surviving so many wars.
Take a Warsaw holiday with HolidayMe and revel in the capital’s many delights like the Royal Castle, King Zygmunt’s Column and the Barbican, an artefact of the walls that once surrounded the city.
