National Philharmonic — Attraction in Warsaw

Another classic performance venue here in Warsaw. Unfortunately it is placed in the center of the shopping district so it makes it extremely difficult to get parking. There is a lot immediately next door but it was completely full 45 minutes before Showtime. The facility itself is immaculate.
