Warsaw Travel Guide - Discover The Beautiful Capital of Poland | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids

- The capital of Poland, Warsaw, is a rapidly-developing city in Central Europe that attracts more and more visitors every day. A good place to start is most definitely the Royal Way which might be confusing as it’s not on the map. It’s a thoroughfare along which many of the city’s sights can be found and it actually comprises two streets Krakowskie Przedmiescie and Nowy Swiat.
The Old Town Square was once the heart of the city but due to the Second World War, the city’s Old Town is only that in name. The capital’s historic centre, dating back from the 13th century, was completely demolished during the conflict, and what visitors see today is essentially a 20th century restoration. That in itself is remarkable. There is information around the cobbled streets and squares detailing how the now-Unesco protected streets were meticulously reconstructed.
For the museum aficionados there are quite a few options. One is the award-winning Museum of the History of Polish Jews that opened in 2014 and that features a multimedia narrative exhibition exploring the life of the Jewish community that flourished in Poland for a thousand years up to the Holocaust. The Telegraph describes it as “full of noise and colour; with echoes of centuries of Yiddish chatter and the soulful sounds of klezmer music,”. The building housing the museum is in itself worth a visit - a post-modern, cube-like structure sat in a city park. Amazing.

I am just amazed by Your movies, by you and your adorable daughters - for your respect to all places which You visit. Those history lessons, especially comming from Your daughters, it is so fantastic thing. I must express my highest appreciation and respect to all of you.
Wow! Thanks so much for such a lovely comment. It really encourages us to keep going.
i know I am kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Gage Jayce meh lately I have been using Flixportal. You can find it on google :) -blake
@Blake Leonardo Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it !
@Gage Jayce Happy to help :)
I just found you and your lovely family today. My parents were the first American business family to live in Warsaw after the Second World War. That was in the seventies. I was in boarding school in Geneva but visited for holidays etc. you gave a really nice overview of the oldest parts of the city but I do remember the exuberantly rebuilt Rocco areas of town. They were my favorite. I returned there with my mother in the 80s ( a grand tour of the places she and my mother loved and lived in) as Poland rejected communism. My parents and two younger brothers lived at the Europeski hotel for 4 months waiting to find a rental house. They all loved their time their including carrying bricks for a whole day to help rebuild the palace. I’m sure you know this but your children will remember the adventures you are providing for them the rest of their lives.
I can’t wait to see more! BTW, loved the tour of Grasse. I rented a house just south of Cannes for a month a few years ago. I had just picked up my new car in Stuttgart and almost wrecked it on those tiny streets!
I like how all your girls participate and are having an early education. thank you
Earlier that year there was a Napoleonic display in the Palace. They even had the hat Napoleon wore during the Battle of Waterloo. Your videos are great and it is nice to see foreigners look so pleased when visiting our country. Pozdrowienia z Warszawy!
That was cool .....I have always wanted to go to Poland.... thank you for sharing
Okk
Thank you for impressive video. I visited Warsaw twice and liked this city very much. I think it is worthy to visit Wilanów palace and park complex around the palace. The palace survived all World Wars.
We missed a bunch of places. All the more reason to go back again.
Great and well paced video with lots of interesting information thanks! I've now put Warsaw on the list of places to visit hopefully next year.
You’re going to love it!

Hello! You are beautiful family, hope you enjoyed Poland. You were wondering, what happened with all of these paintings, most of them were hidden by citizens of Warsaw in the very beginning of the war, when Germans didn't take the capital yet. Every movable thing was taken from the castle and concealed in the basements, cellars or taken to the countryside
It’s amazing to learn and see all the history there. We really enjoy visiting Poland for this reason. We always learn so much.
Nice. Getting to travel around the world with your family during this lock down !!
This was a couple year ago already!!! But yeah we're actually not in our home country for lock down so I guess you're technically right.
Yup, Old Town of Warszawa is the only Class Zero World Heritage Site by UNESCO that is just new... City was leveled to the ground in 90%. No war tactical reason, Hitler just wanted to punish it for Warsaw Uprising 1944, our 63 days of freedom in WW2.
Every August 1st @ 17.00 THE CITY STOPS
czcams.com/video/Ejd2rsXoQSI/video.html
P.S. 2:53 Yeah girl, you've got it right! That's because it's the capital only since 16th century, when Sigismund III (the guy from the tall collumn in the middle of the Castle Square) decided to move the Polish capital and his royal court from Kraków. And over there the square market is 3.79 ha (9.4 acres) which makes it the largest medieval town square in Europe.
wonderful video indeed thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Miło spędzony czas razem z wami.
Great contents! very informative. New subs here. Cheers!
Awesome. Thanks!
Warsaw is fantastic city! Greetings from Poland! 😊
The best was the food! Loved our time there too!
What is amazing is that during all that HUGE round-the-world trip, you, and especially the girls, will probably learn waaaaay more than they would ever learn at school. :-)
Nice country and this City.. amazing
And the food!
The buildings were rebuilt using the famous cityscape paintings of Bernardo Belotto (also known as Canaletto).
Well done!
Thanks!
You should also see many other places like gardens of the Royal Castle, Łazienki, Wilanów, Grzybowski square, museum of Katań, museum of Science, gardens on the roof of the university library
Thanks for sharing these places. One day we’ll come back.
Dave in MN, USA on 1-22-2022 Really want to say I couldn't help noticing how sun-bathed (tanned) you ladies are at this time. Really beautiful.
Such LUCKY kids! Traveling is an amazing educational experience at their age, one they'll NEVER forget! (Fun too! That's the secret. "Painless" learning at its best.)
Us adults are learning a ton too!
Beautiful
It sure is.
Watching from Seattle. My dad's family came from Krakow.
That's awesome! I hope we're bringing him back memories as we walk the same street he would have grown up on.
Very good
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Please! not Choppin, it's "Shopehn" spelled: Chopin , thank you :). You all are lovely.
Yeah...I now know how to correctly pronounce it. Thanks for the comment! 😉
There is so much more to Warsaw than Stare Miasto.
wonderful family
Thanks! ❤️🙌
It's a pity that the showists / you visited only 10% of interesting places in Warsaw, and only a few seconds of video material from the center of Warsaw where the most interesting things are happening :) Over the last 4 years since your visit, Warsaw has changed even more :) There are more skyscrapers, transport the public has improved, great restaurants have appeared (currently over 4,000 restaurants) and many other attractions .. Come back!
Oh wow! It sounds as though a lot has changed. We definitely would love to come back again.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
0:50 , 2:37 Yes,Poland was rebuilt after the WWII only by Polish people only with labour costs.After they changed their political system suddenly a group of citizens with 'none Polish origin' who lived in Poland before the WWII want to claim what was they believe belonged to them.All of their houses or commercial properties where destroyed and brought to life by Poles after the WWII .To make an International claim, They even created on request in USA a special bill Nr 447 about compensation for any losses caused by the war. Poland do not agree with it as no one helped them with bringing back their country to life and did not take care of for last 70 years.Only them and they have right to keep it.
Concerning Poland, heirless property which belonged to the Polish citizens (Polish Jews) murdered by the Germans during World War II, escheated to the Polish State in accordance with the article 935 of the Polish Civil Code. American organizations and individuals which are not legal heirs, have no legal title to such claims, and Act S. 447, which discriminates non-Jews victims of the Third Reich, is an assault on justice and social order. The Act also violates the Indemnification Clause of the 1960 Bilateral Agreement between Poland and the USA, in regard of Jewish property nationalized by the communist regime.
We are appealing to the Polish Parliament for a creation of a legal basis for claims in relation to heirless property left by the deceased Polish Americans on the territory of the United States.
Americans are always super welcome in Poland 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲❤️❤️❤️
Thanks but.....we're Canadians 😂😂😂 We probably sound Americans just like New Zealander sound Australian to the rest of the world. 🤪
1:11 Johnny sinse😂😂
Hello Raja Jansig
Not really true - the buildings you were looking at in the main square were not totally destroyed - just the rooftops in some cases. What was destroyed was the royal castle - literally leveled and a ton of buildings in the Muranów, Centrum, and Wola districts. And no, not 90% of the city was destroyed. For starters Praga was left untouched, as the Soviet army was alrady there - this is like 40% of Warsaw.
Around 50% of the left bank Warsaw was leveled though, but many churches were left intact.
(Yes - I know you showed th picture in the film but for reference:)

The lioness wasn't hungry per day. She just saw a bunch of easy prey. The mouth hinging is to release heat. The paving is her wanting to attack. Be happy these places are their with these animals. They are the last chance to make sure there are insurance colonies left to repopulate the wild when man has taken their last bits of natural areas.
One more intresting video about Warshaw
czcams.com/video/e6lPqyZ0VVo/video.html
Poland is 1100 years old country gained Independence in 11.11.1918. After 123 years of partrations. After WW2 Poland was run not by soviets only by Polish comunists after USA and UK betrayed Polamd and sold Poland to the soviets in Yalta, even Polish armed forces, criptologosts amd inventors were 3rd in contribution to the vicotry in WW2 in western allies . Just after USA and UK.
Thanks for sharing.
Love, loved this video. The history, town square, and beautiful paintings, and everything else. Thanks for taking us along. I'm the one that keeps saying how fortunate your daughters are in their life. Ohio
Ah thanks Barb! We love when people say where they’re watching from. For us it makes our views come to life!!! ❤️❤️
Your family is very cut.Your daughters are adorable , the history lessons are fantastic.Congratulation.
My mother's family were from Warsaw. They moved to London in the 1880s. We thought of going back to find where they lived but it was all destroyed in WWll. We watched an episode of "who do you think you are?" with British celebrity Esther Rantzen whose family also left Warsaw. She basically saw modern office blocks where her family's home used to be.
You should go back and discover it! It’s always nice to see where your family came from and even though you don’t know it, you somehow feel connected.
Good morning my beautiful family, this time around that palace was beautifully restored with such pain taking art work, and Bertrand Russell once said the only art that America got that come out of Europe, and exhausting European art, as you see American cities lie in shambles without being bombarded i love you all Jerome from Switzerland
Why we rebuild Old Town, Royal Castle, and many other districts of Warsaw (also Gdansk and many other cities) instead build something new and more useful at this place? It's a very big question. The answer is because we love our country and our heritage. It was not for tourists like Disneyland. It was for us ourselves. But if you liked it and had a good time walking around and seeing all that pretty new houses (70-60 years old) I am happy with you. All the best 4U!
Glad you did, it looks fantastic! May it stay like that forever :) Greetings from Hungary!
Nah, Communist concept for rebuild completly destroyed first urban planning ;\
Polish city without old town style main square wouldn' look like a Polish city.
To preserve yor history, our identy, our culture and our traditions. To preserve our country and nation
Wonderful video and wonderful family:-) thank you for taking time show your beautiful daughters a bit of history of Warsaw. Greetings from Poland
Thanks Kasia! We love your country!!!
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Unfortunately we can't enjoy true beauty of old Warsaw since germans destroyed it in 90%.
After the WWII our country was exhausted and to top it off russians completed entire degradation by stealing our factories and killing inteligentna. Before WWII Warsaw was called Paris of the East. That may give you an idea how beautiful it was.
Loved it as always,, from Mike in England xx
That was a very nice video, thank you very much Jerome from Florida
Another great video gang
Thanks so much for this lovely feedback/comment!
No just gang. Like a group of people. 😀
Beautiful Place thanks for sharing! I enjoy watching.
Nice video! I love Warsaw
Thanks! I’m glad you liked the video!
Thanks! We enjoyed it so much too!!!
I like your videos... but... where’s your husband or partner...
I'm here replying to your comment :-)
this its polish pride
Its really inspiring to see the young generation to be so passionate to travel around the world and learn different history, culture, heritage and geography. This raises my hope for the future of humanity, please continue your great work, Im very amazed by your videos! :D
Fajna rodzinka! !!
I hope there is gonna be at least one more vlog from Warsaw. If you still thete you should definitely go and see Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego, Muzeum Narodowe, Łazienki Króewskie, Pałac w Wilanowie, Centrum Nauki Kopernika. You can also take a walk along : Aleje Ujazdowskie (from Pałac Belwederski) + Plac Trzech Krzyzy+ Nowy Swiat + Krakowskie Przedmiescie its just over 2 miles walk but theres is a lot of nice old buildings along this route. Enjoy
Respect laic
I am so inspired you are amazing!
you are so lucky bcz u already visited 90+ country also you hava 3 awesome kids. i love there.
It was professor Stanisław Lorentz who amidst German bombings organised the evacuation of many works of art from the Royal Castle in September 1939.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanisław_Lorentz
Oh wow, that’s amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this information.
Thank you for your video. Well done! :-)
East europe is nice and most of it still hidden gem
Yeah, you’re right. It’s definitely a whole region that we’d like to discover more of it.
Poland is in central Europe not eastern EAST starts in Belarus and Ukraine
Yeah God dammit.
best videos Poland is central Europe by geography ( center of Europe), history,, language, alphabet ( latin, not cyrylic like in Russia, Be,arus, Ukraine etc) religion ( Roman catholics, not ortodox catholics like in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus ) by culture, by art, by architecture and even by cousine
...not only disneyland.....real life, real history....perfect respect for time to be toogeter together......
Amazing lesson even for a Pole. Hope you had a great time in Poland. You are a wonderful mother, Chantal!
Those rooms are just breathtaking. I bet they are something else to see being there. How they ever rebuilt them is just amazing. Such craftmanship. Also big kudos to the cleaning crew what a job they have.
Interesting videos. I grew up in Warsaw and visited Cracow and Gdańsk many times, but still learned a few things from your videos. Greetings from Australia! :
That’s fantastic!
great video, been in warsaw twice, very interesting place so good to do research before you go, cant wait to go back.
Your movies are great,fantastic and warm. Watched 3 episodes and couldn’t stop. Wish you all the best.
I enjoy watching your travel videos. They are very detail, informative and super fun. Poland is truly beautiful country. How did you like the Polish people?
We agree. We really enjoyed everything about Poland. We found the people to very very friendly and helpful.
If you're ever in Warsaw again, I recommend going to the Warsaw Uprising museum. There's two reasons why:
1. It's highly interactive, designed to give you experiences as well as knowledge. For egzample, they have recreated a part of the sewage system on the promises so you can experiance the way people tried to escape the bombing / navigate the city.
2. Warsaw Uprising might not be very important for the history of WWII in general but it is extremely important to understand Polish mentality during and after the war, plus why our external politics are the way they are.
Well done on the video. Now it makes me want to vacation in the land of my ancestors.
I must say you have wonderful children that seem to enjoy gaining knowledge on everything. Very nice to see considering many of them only stay in their phones and forget that there is a world outside.
it was not Hitler, it was Germany that destroyed Warsaw
@mistrzuniu, In fact saying that "Hitler destroyed Warsaw" is also accurate. After Warsaw Uprising had fallen Adolf Hitler decided that entire city must be burned to the ground. This order had no military purpose, it was just revenge on Polish nation and brave city.

"Only for germans not only for nazis"
@@@Clyde-qn5uz Brilliant :)))
Stupid idiot,,,Not Hitler??, Hitler give the order to his own German Army to destroyed all city
Czy to wlasciwe forum na szerzenie propagandy?
Yeah, you really chopped Chopin's name there😂 Great video though! I hadn't heard about the Zookeeper's Wife but now I'm definitely going to watch it.
Nice country frome Kurdistan
Thanks for your comment! One day we will visit your country too!
Watching that video made me homesick...my brothers and I used to play tag in that square every weekend. The Zookeepers Wife book is better than the movie, if you have time check it out. Great video!
I love polish people beautiful girl and woma very pretty so I have plan naxt year go on holiday
Beauty mother
super ;)
Thanks!
Muy bien esta bonito
I'm watching from Los Angeles!!! Those ice cream cones have a lot of ice cream on them!!!
My grandfather was one of the rebuilders of Warsaw :)
That’s awesome!
🔥🔥🔥
wonderful family lovely mom wonderful woman!
I saw that movie a couple times. Very good show. I would have been a little concerned about that lion pacing back and fourth. Also Chloe not sure about the scene with the donkeys. It has been on T.V. here lately I will watch again if I see the movie on again.
Did you guys go to the uprising of Warsaw museum???
Circling a bell works even if you do not believe it.
PS. Were you in Wilanów?
Well that’s fantastic news! I’m eating for my breakthrough then! 😂😂😂 This time around we won’t be in Wilanów. Maybe next time.
My wife an I were being escorted through Wilanow in 1979 by a very lovely older woman who spoke very correct English. She pointed out a desk where she said all of the important papers were kept. To which I replied "the toilet paper?" This got a big laugh from the guide and group, since toilet paper seemed to be in short supply in the Eastern bloc countries then.
such a beautiful and smart ladys ! Come back to Poland one day again for best ice cream ever 🍦😜
Yes we will! Thanks for the nice comment.
Why no Pictures from Nowy Swiat and Krakowskie Przedmiescie, the beautiful Streets in Warsaw?
Although his name is spelled Chopin the correct pronunciation is more like Shopen. Just put it in you translator and listen carefully.
If you see a cross on top.of building like that in Poland that means it is a church.
As for the Royal Castle. During bombing by germans people run in , rescued lots of art and hid in their homes. When the desicion was made to restore the castle citizens brought back art back. Also government had look hard around for the trades that were almost gone to do the proper restoration.
Thanks for all the insight. I think it's amazing how the people came together and restored the city. It's simply amazing.
i Love You 2:)
Chop-in and I've been pronouncing it Show-pan.
I think the way you’re pronouncing it is right. 😂😂
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders I'm counting on you. I don't want to get laughed at by the pronunciation police.
I think its more like Shaw-pen
more like shaw- pan, where shaw is pronounced in the RP way and pan in standard US;)
if anyone cares it's actually sho (o like on) pen (exactly as it is written, e like enter)
do You know MSR Fangor? i leave near:)now its Rip:(stay only mss Fangor
Wasow thats all reconstructed.....after II World War
your family look very Polish
nice video,germans pay for bombing civils target on begining 2ww?
grzesieeeeeeeek You talking to yourself?
@@EliuszHadrian I gues u are german:D
grzesieeeeeeeek I guess you're idiot?
Even thou Warsaw ( Warszawa ) is totally ugly you made the best of it cheers and thumbs up
We thought it was amazing and beautiful. 😂😂😂
Is it Your Own kids?
That is not a happy lion. It is pacing. That's the first indication that they are growing neurotic in captivity. Sad. I agree without about zoos, especially when there are alternatives. Otherwise, Warsaw looks great! And the ice cream makes me hungry!
Why does the computer auto correct words?? I meant to say that I "agree with you," not "I agree without." Anyway, you got the message, and I'm still in agreement!! It must have been hard to have seen these animals free in Africa, as you did, and then in a concrete enclosure. If they must be in captivity, the larger sanctuaries are a better alternative. I didn't mean to go off on a tangent, away from Warsaw!! Yea Poland!
93% of the whole of Warsaw was destroyed and it’s now rebuilt
Czopin? A może Czaplin?
plz come mongolia
One day we will!
Hello I am Poland city intern please you I cam and go
Sorry...I don't understand.
Any time you talk about history I get a feeling you have no idea what you're talking about. I've seen a lot of other vlogs from Warsaw filmed by Ozzies, Kiwis, Canadians, Brits, Americans, Koreans, Japanese and other people from all over the world and I am sorry, but they did a way better research than you did.
Yeah...it's probably true. I hope however that you were able to get a feel for the city and what it has to offer.
@darek4488
What is wrong with You. Are you mad? Come on. Mr. Research!!!!
@darek -- This is a travel blog, not a scholastic research to please your exaggerated sense of self importance. All those entitled, mean, petty comments from Poles are cringeworthy.
