Warsaw, the capital of Poland, is situated on the Vistula banks in the central part of the country. It is the biggest city of Poland. The city was completely destroyed during WW2. The Warsaw multicolored stone buildings surrounded by walls, the Roman Catholic churches, and the glorious King’s Palace are all the result of reconstruction held in the post-war years.
The Vistula river divides contemporary Warsaw into two different parts, the Old Town (Stare Miasto), where the modern city center and most sights may be found, and the eastern river bank encompassing the residential suburbs and the business district of not much interest.
