* coming to Warsaw for the first time in 26 years… need help!

Traveller's question

Hi,

I am going back to Poland for the first time in 26 years. I was born there and left at age 9 and moved to the states.

I’m going with my sister and our husbands. Our husbands are not Polish.

I want to show them how amazing Warsaw truly is!

We are going to be there for a week from August 1st - August 8th and we will be attending The Weeknd concert as well August 5th!!!

Can you please let me know what are the spots to visit? What are some restaurant & hotel recommendations.

Below are places I am for sure going to -

On my list I have -

* the neighborhood I lived in and school I went to

* stare miasto

* syrenka warszawska

* pomnik malego powstanstwa

* Barbican

* Warsaw uprising museum

* St. John’s Archcathedral

* Łazienki Park

* morskie oko

* pałac kultury

* Vistula Boulevards

* Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

* Royal Castle in Warsaw

* Malbork Castle (it’s about 3 hours from Warsaw)

* Czersk Castle ( about 40 min from Warsaw)

* pole mokotowskie & Dreszera Park & fort mokotów

Also what are some areas to avoid?

Thank you in advance!
