Warsaw has beautiful places for outdoor activities. On Saturday we visited the National Stadium, on Sunday, the Copernicus Science Centre. On Monday, we decided to spend more time outdoors and chose to walk to the Royal Baths. There were monuments decorated with medallions for the upcoming Independence Day.
The Royal Baths were beautiful in autumn. On the one hand, a lot of colorful leaves; on the other hand, the surrounding park wildlife – squirrels collecting supplies for the winter and peacocks, ducks and pigeons. We walked down Belwederska Street along the way, seeing an unusual mobilization of police and ambulances – there had been a traffic accident next to the Russian Embassy. Maybe they thought it was a form of terrorist attack?
Next we went to the Belvedere Palace, the Pilsudski monument, and the Chopin monument. We got to the Palace on the Island. From there, it was close to the amphitheater. Our kids love walking, but not for so long.
The next stop was in the city centre, we went to the viewing terrace of the Palace of Culture and Science. I’m not sure you know that this building has the most expensive elevators in the country, as riding up to the observation deck cost 20 PLN per adult and 14 PLN per child 🙂
We had no luck when it came to the weather, because we found the palace tower in the fog, so the view from the top was limited to a short distance. But as you can see, the children did not mind. We really enjoyed it at the top, it was a little scary in the small elevator rushing up. We’re not used to elevators — we don’t use them every day.
