Warsaw, the Old City.
We will start at the entrance to the Old City from where the Bellotto Hotel is located.
If you didn’t read about this luxury hotel, go back and read my first post and then come back.
The entrance to the city will shock you.
All at once you will realize how beautiful and stunning Warsaw is.
Watch the crowds of people and the colorful and special buildings,
let yourself absorb the noise, and enter the atmosphere.
Warsaw old town – The church with the heart of Chopin
Turn right from the main square and walk along the broad avenue (Krakowski Street)
The avenue has plenty of cafes, restaurants, ice cream parlors, and crowds.
After about 15 minutes you will arrive at the Church of HOLY CROSS, a beautiful church and one of the most prominent in Poland.
But, that is not why you enter the church!
The reason is the heart of Chopin the legendary Polish composer whose heart is buried right there.
While in church, go and find the heart (We will return to Chopin later).
Warsaw old town – The statue of Copernicus
On the other side of the road, next to the church is the statue in memory of Copernicus,
The most famous Polish scientist and the person who changed the face of science and astronomy.

Warsaw old town – The pedestrian street of Chmielna
Continue walking on Krakowski Street for about 5 minutes until you see the H&M store on the corner.
Over there, turn right to the pedestrian street of Chmielna.
At first sight, the street seems nothing special.
But, you will turn into the street anyway.
At this point, you will notice that the pedestrian is full of special shops, designer boulevards, cafes, and more …
Daniela’s recommendation – In Chmielna 30 you will find a hidden shop called LOVE POLAND DESIGN, which sells special Polish products.
Warsaw old town – Poznanska Street
Continue on to Marschalkowska Street (see the shopping section in Warsaw).
Go under the Centrum metro station until the other side of Grozolmsky Street (Jerusalem) and walk along the street.
Turn left on Poznanska Street (Poznan) until you reach house number 15, Hotel H15.
Go into the hotel’s lobby and order a glass of delicious juice or cake.
While in the hotel, I am sure you will be impressed by the hotel’s amazing lobby.
Continue on the street until you will see the Kushiki food market (see the section on eating in Warsaw).
Please note, Kushiki = koszyki in polish
In the food market, it is recommended to find your restaurant for lunch.
