Warsaw in 2 Days: Old Town Beauty & Uprising History Revealed!

Join me, the Globetrotting Grandad, as I spend two fascinating days exploring the rich history and vibrant culture of Warsaw, Poland. On Day 1, I wander through the beautifully restored Old Town, taking in the Market Square, Royal Castle, Warsaw Uprising Monument, the Ghetto Wall, and the haunting statue of the child soldier. I also visit several historic churches that reveal Warsaw’s spiritual resilience through centuries of hardship. Day 2 begins with a trip to the towering Palace of Culture and Science, a Stalin-era gift that still sparks debate. I relax in the green oasis of Łazienki Park, then finish at the moving and highly informative Warsaw Uprising Museum—a must-see for anyone interested in WWII history. Whether you're an independent traveller or someone over 50 like me, looking for meaning, beauty, and a bit of adventure, Warsaw delivers. It's a city that respects the past while looking to the future, and I was captivated every step of the way. #WarsawTravel #TravelOver50 #PolandOldTown #WWIIHistory #globetrottinggrandad 0:00 Intro 0:07 Old Town Market Square 2:58 Statue of The Little Insurrectionist 3:35 Warsaw Uprising Monument 4:24 Warsaw Ghetto Wall 6:43 St. John's Archcathedral 8:25 Castle Square 9:00 Church of St. Anne 9:58 Carmelite Church 10:38 Tomb of the Unknown Soldier 13:15 Church of the Holy Cross 15:30 Palace of Culture and Science 18:23 Lazienki Park 20:12 Warsaw Uprising Museum
