thank you

4 days in Warsaw, will you get bored?

Well I suppose it depends what your interests are. First you need to find a nice hotel to use as a base. Try the Marriott for 5 star luxury. Nice neighbourhoods? Take a walk along Nowy Swiat and stare in the classy shops and elegant cafes until you reach the Old Town - a World Heritage Site. Hungry? Try any of the hundreds of restaurants catering for all tastes. Cultural interest? There's the Pink Palace, Lazienki park with the open-air Chopin concerts, Wilanow Palace, monuments, museums, art galeries, theatres, opera house and much more.

Or if you needs are a bit more modern try the Golden Terrace Shopping Mall with all the famous brand names, fast food joints, street performers, etc.

And the locals are so courteous to tourists like myself. Can you spend 4 days there? - Try 4 weeks!

Hi
Warsaw is a City I have visited a number of times. Off the top of my head I can think of 5 large shopping malls all with nice shops and cafes. As to places to visit. There are numerous places, depending upon your interests and would suggest having a look at the various guide books to get some idea. Warsaw has an excellent and inexpensive public transport system to get you around the city. If you think you will get bored with Warsaw there is a lot less to do in Bratislava, as it a much smaller city.

Warszawa is not really a sight seeing town. It is rather ugly. All the places mentioned in the first post are definitely worth visting. But if you are on your own, you will get bored within four days. If you want to visit a Polish city, then go to Kraków.

Hi!

Great city, lots of places to see, good cultural life. Shops - best in Central Europe. In the downtown you will see skyscrapers, one of them - Palace of Culture and Science, huge must see skyscraper built in 50's. Visit some tower for excellent panorama of Warsaw.
Visit Royal castle in old town and royal Wilanow castle, Ujazdowski castle, Uprising museum.
If you will have time I recomend to do day trip to old towns of Zamosc or Kazimierz Dolny.
