Some great old buildings and quaint looking byways, but I think my favorite pic is the 4 leggy lasses walking in the shadows.

Thanks for the tour, good stuff.

Warsaw is beautiful

Warsaw is the manifestation of everything that makes Europe so great - the architecture, density, history... Sure the highrises of Dubai or Hong Kong are a sight to behold, but they don't capture the soul of urbanism like the dense labyrinths of Warsaw, London, Paris, and other European cities do. I have got to get to Warsaw ASAP!

This one's my favorite:

Thanks for the tour.

Thanks.

I think that Old Town is a very real testament to the resolve and pride of Warszawians. This area was completely destroyed after the Warsaw Uprising and was completely reconstructed after the war. There are still many reconstructions taking place around the city.

the Old Town is awesome (reconstructed) medieval goodness. Great photos, thanks.

Are you a permanent resident of Warsaw?

No, I leave here in June. Who knows what the future will bring though.

I find the statue of Sigismundus III to be quite impressive that was built in 1643. Also, I believe the statue and column survived the destruction of Warsaw, but he was missing a limb.
