With its cosmopolitan and modern outlook, Warsaw makes an ideal destination for a city break.
The contemporary architecture of Warsaw bears witness to the extent of the damage it suffered during the Second World War and the dramatic regeneration it underwent to become one of Poland's most progressive cities.
Fashionable new bars, baroque churches, beautiful parks and luxurious restaurants combine to make Warsaw a forward looking city, yet one which still retains its cultural identity.
A city break is a great opportunity to discover some of the city's dazzling historical monuments, such as the beautiful Old Town and the Royal Castle, which have been painstakingly restored to something like their former glory after their virtual demolition.
Meanwhile, a visit to the former Jewish district, which was razed to the ground by the Nazis, provides a haunting insight into some of the city's darkest hours.
A range of city break accommodation options are available in Warsaw, ranging from budget hostels to luxury hotels.
Direct flights operate between Warsaw and a range of UK airports with the national carrier, LOT Polish Airlines, making escaping for a city break both convenient and fast.
