or a town that was largely destroyed during WWII, there is a strong spirit of hope and resilience. It is a town that was deliberately annihilated by the Nazi's as a repression of the Polish resistance. After the war, the Old Town was meticulously rebuilt to create an exact replica of what stood before. It was a beautiful place full of colourful houses, lively squares with hidden streets to explore.
Highlights of the trip include:
*Walking Tour - we participated in the both the Old Town and Jewish Walking Tours. These tours were incredibly informative and interesting
* Uprising Musuem - this musuem provides a first hand account of the thousands of Poles who fought back against the Nazi forces in 1944 for a heroic 63 days of resistance.
* Lazienki Park - a peaceful park in the middle of the city, stroll through the park enjoying the peacocks, feeding the red squirrels and admiring the magnificent Palace on the Water.
