Walking the OLD TOWN of WARSAW.

- I start my walk today from an area full of new tall buildings. This new architecture represents how far Warsaw has come. Now that I've seen the new, I also want to see what the Old part of Warsaw was like. On my way I pass a fragment of the wall which surrounded the Old Warsaw Jewish Ghetto. It's a solemn reminder of what happened during the war. Next on to the Old Town, where I started to enjoy the beauty of Old Warsaw. These buildings were meticulously reconstructed after WWII. They have done a great job of rebuilding this part of Warsaw. The old buildings, which are so colorful and bright. I came to the Old Town Square, which is the beating heart of this part of Warsaw. So much activity here, children playing and laughing. Foreigners and Poles enjoying the beautiful Plaza. Later I went by the Royal Castle and the Castle Square. There is also tons of life here, maybe more than the Old Town Square. I finish of my tour with a visit to the Presidential Palace of Poland. A thrilling day in Warsaw.

Warsaw is clearly a very interesting city to visit.
So much fascinating history here and a rebirth of sorts, going on.👍🏻😎
Thank you for visiting Poland I was thier once visiting family.
I'm enjoying Poland a lot. Best wishes to your family in Poland. Dziekuje bardzo. 🙏🇵🇱😎
Thankyou my friend
Any time. 👌
Modern architecture in Poland can be really cool, while here in Czechia, we are stucked in 90s.
The modern stuff in Warsaw looks very sleek, slick and creative.
there in czechia you are surrounded by history and breathtakiing architecture of the past. don't take it for granted and better appreciate it, since that's something that was taken away from us and we would gladly trade it for those soulless skyscrapers.
btw the author comparing warsaw to some rotten ass detroit. how dare you
@@adamski3929 But that's not what I was talking about, I meant new architecture which is just terrible here and new trend is to destroy everything built during communism, so sight keepers have to protect even interesting buildings from communist era because it's only way how to protect it from developers who want to destroy everything.
And today housing estates....that's much worse than communist comblocks, I don't see such terrible new places in Poland, here we have everything surrounded by fences, gates, locks, signs "only residents can sit on this bench" etc....this trand has to stop, even architects agree with me, but developers have more power and many people think that this is that freedom we wanted, but it's not, it's just wrong to have fences and barriers everywhere, commblocks were really better in this case.
And the same trend is even with taller office buildings, it's not part of city like in western countries, it's surrounded by some fence hell again, so you can't even get close to it, this trend is totaly stupid, we are losing our public space, there will be only fences and locks in the future.
😊❤💪 thank you for your support Poland
You're welcome. I really love Poland. 🙏🏻
The gaurdian building and train station are masterpices imo, plus we got the new tower coming soon in Detroit
Do you mean the train station which has been gutted and looted for years. Yes, we had nice things in Detroit once. They have been gutted, ransacked, and vandalized. Everyone knows Detroit in Europe, it's reputation precedes itself. Maybe one day it will make a comeback, but many, many things would need to change first.
Kind of nice to have for a city to have and old town and modern town. Give you a lot choices regarding what to do.
It's wonderful, so much to see and enjoy.
Warsaw very interesting city with a lot of WW2 history! Thanks for sharing!
There is still so much history and remnants of the war here in Warsaw. Totally agree with you. 👍🇵🇱🪖
@@TravelAddictGuy Are you also visiting the Baltic States?
@danziger9996 In the future, maybe, let's enjoy Poland for now.
In the old town square I wonder how they have built those building originally, because they all look a little bit different. The interesting part is they are right next to each other.
I don't know exactly, but that's part of the charm.
This is copy from Canaletto paintings and other paintings we found of Warsaw ( not robe by Germans or Russians) and from photos and form building schemats, street schemats they found after war.
95% of Warsaw was destroy.
So we decide instead building new sovieticus style building in centrum we restore what we lose.
And Germany did not pay a cent....bastard......
@@messmeg7582 It's quite amazing how they rebuilt Warsaw. It's now an amazing city and Poland should be proud of their Capitol. I did not know that the Germans did not pay any money to Poland after the war. Especially after Poland suffered so much at their hands during WWII.
The flag in the window placed in the middle of ukrainian and rainbow flag was a white-red-white flag of free Belarus :)
Thanks for sharing. 👌
What ? Where you from you said you're from Detroit ,
man I'm so sorry for you
in early 2000 i used live a little in Windsor Ontario and i often cross border to buy cheap beers but once again sorry you live there
I was born and raised in Detroit. Fortunately my family no longer lives there, as most of them moved out of the city many years ago. Detroit is a bit of a sad place to grow up in. I also know Windsor. Thansk Rob.

Ilive there few months and went back to Toronto but i don't live in north America anymore i moved to Europe and i can see completely different life here
@@robertrobski1013 I prefer the European life too. Enjoy my friend.
@@TravelAddictGuy then move in
probably your best option is England same language and probably same mentality
Here is another pronunciation tip for you: ż in żurek sounds like the middle sound in measure or casual.
Thank you very much for that tip. I struggle with some of these pronunciations. 🙏🏻😎
Do you miss Spain a lot or just a little? Saludos
A little bit. Especially the weather.
Well it’s getting warmer here too believe me temperature above 30c is normal in the north too now
It seem like Poland got some money to built those beautiful new buildings. That Warsaw ghetto reminded me when you were in Budapest and happened to be in district 7 where Germans also created a ghetto. You even talked to some lady there. There the people didn’t get deported to the concentration camps just right at end of the war in 1944. . How unlucky was that and cruelty by the NAZIs, because they had known that they are losing.
It still boggles my mind by how cruel and heartless they could be. They must have had that hatred instilled in them since they were children. Not to mention the threat of death themselves, if they did not carry out the orders of their leaders. Such a dark stain on the books of history.
@@TravelAddictGuy most of the German soldiers were brainwashed by the leadership and probably scared too to disobey orders. The brainwashing is still happening right now here in the US as matter of fact everywhere where they can get away with that.
It’s just disgusting and hard to realise what the nazi’s did to those people.😢 we must always remember that and war criminals should be brought to justice no matter what
It's shocking to think that human beings are capable of that level of cruelty. Yes, they do need to be brought to justice. But is there really an equal sentence a court could impose? For the slaughter of millions of innocent people. Let's hope that God has another punishment in store.
nazi German
Nie ma takiego narodu jak naziści, tylko Niemcy
20:00 that's white ruthenia flag
I would never have known. Thanks.
it's funny what you call 'big and small'. 'old and new'. my friend this is a story of about 1000 years. many nations working together. we'd rather build than fight, but if you start with us, you better be well prepared.
It's great to see Warsaw thriving, after all it's been through.
@@TravelAddictGuy dude go north.... all of the country have history. u'll shit ur panties in Gdańsk.
