Palace of Culture and Science

It is hard to miss this place. The Palace is a controversial building for many Varsovians. Some of them feel that it does not fit in with the rest of the city, others regard Warsaw as a „multi”-the spirited city in which there is a place for such a building. The tremendous structure houses restaurants, a university, theatres, cinemas, offices, conference and concert halls, and even a swimming pool – that is over 3000 different rooms. The whole palace is a perfect example of the social realism style of the 50s. The interiors are covered with marble and mosaics, the light gets in through gigantic windows and all this contributes to this place’s one-of-a-kind atmosphere. After getting to the terrace on the 30th floor, the visitor is rewarded with a marvelous view of Warsaw. It simply has to be seen!

POLIN Muzeum Historii Zydow Polskich

The POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews is a museum located in Warsaw documenting the centuries-old history of Jews in Poland. The museum fantastically describes the contribution of Jews to the development of Polish culture, economy, and science. In the virtual library, you can see masterpieces of Hebrew and Yiddish literature in a multimedia form: Talmud, religious, philosophical and moral works. Anyone can also print the title page from the 16th-century book on the press, and this is only a small part of the adventure with Jewish culture as it is in the Museum. Multimedia exhibitions await visitors, showing how Poles and Jews lived together for many hundreds of years and how both cultures merged together. In the conventional space you can get acquainted with the family and neighborly relations, look at the Jewish-Christian relationship. It is a huge part of the human history of this city. A place definitely worth seeing.
