If you see one thing, it should be the symbol of Warsaw—the Warsaw Mermaid statue in the center of the city's Old Town Square. You'll also find Castle Square nearby, home to the Royal Castle and Sigismund's Column. Museum buffs will find plenty to do, between the Warsaw Rising Museum, the Museum of Posters, the Museum of Hunting and Riding, and the Railway Museum. It's impossible to miss the towering Palace of Culture and Science, an ornate Stalinist skyscraper erected in 1955. If you still have time, stroll through the historic Jewish ghetto or visit the Warsaw Zoo.
The best way to explore Warsaw is on foot. Opt for a guided walking tour to really get to know the place. For some fresh air, head to the stunning Lazienki Park or stroll through the city's fascinating cemeteries—some even include sculptures by famous Polish artists. A Warsaw vacation rental will also put you near Bielany Forest, a remaining portion of the Masovian Primeval Forest, which offers plenty of walking and biking trails. There are several international music festivals and competitions each year, and sports fans will want to catch a soccer match at the National Stadium.
You have your pick of seasons when you're heading to a Warsaw vacation rental. The warmest temperatures come between June and August, when highs sit pleasantly in the 70s and low 80s (though you might want a sweater at night). Expect to see plenty of the fluffy white stuff in winter. Lows in the coldest months of November to March can easily be below the freezing mark—in fact, temps might not even rise above it on some days. The good news is that the town looks really pretty under a blanket of white.
The city of Warsaw straddles the Vistula River, with most of the historic sights clustered on the west bank. Nearly a quarter of the urban area is covered in green space, so you'll have no shortage of fresh air at your Warsaw vacation rental. There are multiple forests within the city limits, including the fascinating primeval Bielany Forest, home to tons of plants and animals. To see your nature in more modern settings, you should visit 1 of the 2 botanic gardens or the Warsaw Zoo.
