Krasinski Palace
This palace is one of Warsaw’s most famous landmarks, as it is the most beautiful Baroque building in the city, built during the 1690s. In its heyday it was one of the most lavish palaces in Poland, second only to the king’s residence. Now visitors can tour the rooms and visit the gallery where paintings by many old masters are hung, including Rembrandt, Rubens, Durer and Correggio, as well as a collection of prints. Arrangements to view the inside of the palace and these collections must be made in advance, however.

Palace of Culture
A controversial and impressive structure, the Palace of Culture was a gift to the city of Warsaw from Stalin, built in the 1950s. Some people think of this famous structure as the symbol of Warsaw, while others hate it for being an eyesore and a monument to the Communist days. Regardless, the 234-metre tower offers the best view possible over the city, and within it is a complex including three theatres, a swimming pool, a musuem, a congress hall, and much more. The viewing deck is located on the 30th floor, to which express lifts are running continuously. The tower is also an impressive sight at night, lit up from top to bottom.
Opening times: Daily 9 am - 6 pm

Belvedere
The word ‘belvedere’ in Polish means a palace with a beautiful view, and this royal residence from the 18th century is the epitome of the term. It is located at the top of a hill over the river, and offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding park. The building was redesigned in the 1920s at the request of the governor of Warsaw, and it has been the property of the state ever since. Now the palace houses a musuem dedicated to Józej Pilsudski, the revered Polish president who was in office between the world wars.
