The old town is quite nice to stroll around. Nice restaurants and shops. This square is easy to find and you can easily pass some time watching people pass by or artists performing in the square. We were in February and even in the winter there was artists.
2nd time in Warsaw and was happy to take another stroll past the old square. Was busier this time around and had a few things going on with regards to some small stalls and some artwork being displayed.We also witnessed three young musicians playing music in the far edge of the square (two of them on accordions and one on violin) and they had quite a group of people watching them. We were surprised by their level of talent and it wasn't any wonder that most people stood for a while to watch them. It all added up to a pleasant mood in the square.
The Old Town Square is beautiful to walk around like much of Old Town. The buildings have been rebuilt from the rubble of occupation in image of pre-war memories and you will find yourself believing that you have uncovered 1930's Poland thanks to the brightly coloured facades and narrow cobbled streets that lead into the large open square.When we visited Warsaw in March-April - despite the very reasonable weather - we didn't find too much going on here. The streets of Norwy Swiat seemed a bit livelier for a night out.
The history and sense of Polish pride is on display in Old Town. Well worth an hour or two of walking and many options for a 5 star meal or a quick bite.
The restored buildings and the traditional Polish restaurants make this worth visiting. The tacky gift shops, one after another is tiresome and they all carry the same things.
Like stepping back in time. Surrounded by carriages, balloon vendors, musicians, and interesting characters all round. Just have a seat and people watch.
We stumbled on this accidentally but it's beautiful and well worth a visit. There are organised beggars in the area that can be slightly intimidating but it's safe.
It's a nice place to see and enjoy the local music and dance when on the Sunday the local Polish wear the traditional clothes with the music band perform in the old market square. If you like the good view then goes to the tower near by then you can see the whole amazing view. Don'f forget going to the castle see the museum collections.
Some reviewers deride the Old Town Market Square as being a 'fake' because the entire Old Town was totally rebuilt after it was razed to the ground. To me, I see the area's amazing reconstruction as a tribute to the Poles' undaunting spirit in the face of such desecration brought about by the Nazis. What a lovely area to wander a bit, people watch and take some time to just sit and admire the lovingly restored buildings.
广场面积不大,皇宫需要另行购票。鉴于二战华沙毁坏严重,皇宫已经没有太多文物,遂予以放弃。欣赏比丹麦美人鱼还大57岁的华沙美人鱼以及美人鱼附近街角的“独头双身雄狮”浮雕、整旧如新的巴尔巴坎城堡。感觉有些失落。如今的华沙古城“古”的味道不浓。
