General information
Warsaw, the capital of Poland, is located in east-central Poland on the Vistula River. It is
sometimes referred to as the “phoenix city”, as it was razed almost completely to the ground
during World War II and then valiantly rebuilt by its citizens, including the historic Old Town,
which was reconstructed brick by brick to its original 17th and 18th century appearance.
Today, Warsaw is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. It is a vibrant, modern and
dynamic metropolis, continuously changing and expanding. Many new, impressive high-rise
buildings are being built, harmonizing with the cityscape that includes remnants of
Communist-era architecture (Socialist Realism) like the Palace of Culture and Science
or Constitution Square.
