An absolute "Must Do", when you visit Warsaw. Ideally, you'll want to visit the iconic Palace of Culture on your first day and pay the 25z (£5) to visit the viewing platform on the 30th floor. This will give you a breathtaking view of the city and give you an idea of the lay of the land. The queue to the elevators can appear to be lengthy, but they move quickly. Built in 1955, the palace itself is beautiful and quintessentially Soviet. The architecture is both impressive and imposing. The palace grounds form part of a much larger attraction. The palace contains a museum of evolution and the grounds boast many beautiful statues, monuments and fountains within a spacious park. The palace is surrounded by other areas of interest such as the impressive Zlote shopping mall along with plenty of restaurants and other standalone shops. The site is easily accessed from the subway (Świętokrzyska, Centrum and Rondo ONZ), and is about a 30-40 minute walk from the classic Old/New Town area. Exploring the palace and its grounds will require several hours, so allow yourself plenty of time (at least a half day), to fully enjoy and appreciate this wonderful part of Warsaw.

Really nice looking building. It is super cheap (25 zloty per person), and you can buy it directly at the counter or through the web page. I dont recommend the webpage, though, because we bought it there and never received the ticket. We had to go to the lady before the scan bars, and she went to the computer with our bar code and printed the code bar for us... This took like 30 minutes, so it's better to buy it there. There is the elevator that takes you 30 floors up. Up here there is a small cafeteria and a small souvenir shop. The view is really nice, but there are bars, so the selfie is not that cute. It's still better this way because of safety reasons. All the personnel spoke English and they were really really helpful. Inside is really big so there is plenty of space. And there a some chairs to sit. Here it says that there is wifi but there is not. Nothing. There are bathrooms downstairs (uou dont need to pay entrance, those are just public) and also uphere after you took the elevator.

The Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw is a stunning example of Soviet-era monumental architecture. Built with grandeur and the intention to impress, it stands as a symbol of power and ambition. However, its current state feels as if it has been passed down to distant relatives from the countryside – left with a grand apartment from a professor and now trying to make the most of it, but only on their own level. The once majestic hall with its grand chandeliers and marble ceilings now hosts events like a “Japanese Culture Festival” – but looking at the pictures, only about 5% of it feels genuinely Japanese, mostly limited to Japanese alcohol and some “Japanese” toys made in China. It’s sad to see such an impressive space being used in this way, but the place is still filled with visitors, all eating and enjoying themselves. This is the culture now, and unfortunately, the palace reflects that. P.S. A tip for those wanting to visit the observation deck: the line for online tickets is always much shorter. You can simply buy your ticket on your phone while waiting. Enjoy!

Warsaw’s city center, known locally as ‘Śródmieście,’ is the dynamic heart of the Polish capital. It’s a bustling area that radiates out from the iconic Palace of Culture & Science, featuring wide streets, monumental buildings, skyscrapers, and a fast-paced atmosphere1. The city center is where you’ll find the majority of Warsaw’s hotels, restaurants, bars, government buildings, and places of commerce. Despite its modern character, there are many points of interest in the area, including historical buildings, urban centers, parks, and squares21. Some key places to explore in Warsaw’s city center are: Plac Piłsudskiego: Warsaw’s largest square, historically used for military parades and national celebrations1. Saxon Garden: One of the oldest public parks in the world.

This is a really cool unique experience for a cheap price. The Palace of Culture and Science is a great initial way to see the city of Warsaw, allowing you to see the beautiful sights and skyline from above with 360 degree views. To get to the view point, you take a short lift ride to the top, where you can then walk around and view the city from different angles. Also at the top of the tower is a gift shop where you can buy souvenirs and also a photo booth to take pictures in as another form of souvenir. Be prepared that the photo booth only takes coins however. Tickets are cheap and can be bought online or at the entrance of the tower. If you’re in Warsaw, I definitely recommend purchasing a ticket and seeing the sights of the city for yourself
