Warsaw, the capital of Poland that surprises<\/strong><\/h2>\n

And yes, after having traveled for more than 8 years as digital nomads, we can say that Warsaw has something special. It is not a \u00abpretty\u00bb city at first sight like Paris or Rome, but the more you get to know it, the more it captures you.<\/p>\n

A bit of history to understand Warsaw<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before getting fully into the things to do in Warsaw (Warsaw, in Polish: Warszawa)<\/strong>, it is worth understanding its history. Warsaw was founded in the 13th century and, over the centuries, went through invasions, wars, and occupations.<\/p>\n

The most devastating moment came during the Second World War<\/strong>, when more than 85% of the city was destroyed. What is incredible is that, thanks to the effort of its people, Warsaw was rebuilt almost from scratch. The Old Town, for example, was rebuilt using old paintings, photos, and plans, and today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That ability to be reborn is something that is felt walking through the city. Warsaw does not hide its past: it shows it, explains it, and transforms it into memory.<\/p>\n

Impressive how this beautiful city was reborn with the help of the people \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f!.

Flights to Warsaw: How to get there<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Getting to Warsaw is simple, as it is the capital of Poland and has very good air connections from all over Europe. In our case, we flew from Barcelona to Warsaw<\/strong> with Norwegian Airlines, mainly because of the price, and the experience was excellent: punctual flight, comfortable seats, and very good service.<\/p>\n

Anyway, there are many traditional and low-cost airlines that operate this route, so it is easy to find flights to Warsaw at a good price with a little anticipation.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbtransportes\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

Transportation in Warsaw<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Transportation in Warsaw is modern, efficient, and very easy to use, even for those visiting the city for the first time. The Warsaw Chopin Airport<\/strong> is the main gateway and is very well connected to the center. Once in the city, getting around is simple thanks to its excellent public transport system, which includes metro, trams, buses, and urban trains. In addition, there are more ecological options such as bicycles and electric scooters to explore at your own pace.<\/p>\n

Stations are usually well signposted, with signs in Polish and English<\/strong>, elevators, escalators, and automatic machines to buy tickets, which makes getting around much easier. Warsaw is a large city, so it is advisable to combine walking with public transport. The 20-minute ticket costs 3.40 PLN<\/strong> (<\/span>more info<\/span><\/a>)<\/span> and allows the use of the metro, tram, and bus; it can be bought at machines or on board (generally with a card).<\/p>\n

\u261d\ufe0fImportant<\/strong>: you must always validate the ticket when boarding.<\/p>\n
