The Polish capital Warsaw is located on the Vistula River. The city is one of the most important transport, economic and commercial centers in Eastern Europe, is a modern, young and dynamic metropolis and a city trip to Warsaw is full of surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Warsaw was founded in the early Middle Ages due to its favorable location. Politically, however, the city gained importance only in the 15th century, when the Mazovian rulers moved their seat to the city. Conveniently located between Krakow and Vilnius, Warsaw became the parliamentary and ruling seat of the Polish-Lithuanian noble republic in the 16th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War the city was almost completely destroyed. Fortunately, it was possible to rebuild almost everything true to the original. The old town was restored in such a way that it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
