My favourite spots: Top three restaurants:
Belvedere Restaurant is one of the most unusual places on the culinary map of Poland. Located in the New Orangery of the Warsaw Royal Bath Gardens it draws attention not only to the elegant interiors but also to an excellent menu.
Oberża pod Czerwonym Wieprzem - The 'Under the Red Hog Inn' recreates the menu and spirit of the communist era. Above all, it offers great food at reasonable prices, with entertaining ambience created with many decorative items from the communist era.
AleGloria Restaurant in the very heart of the city, strawberry trees are in bloom and white geese have flown in. The restaurant is located in the basement of the so called Dom Dochodowy at Trzech Krzyży Square. Recipes of Polish manor cuisine combined with more or less known traditional dishes, present a new image of our culinary art.
Top three bars:
Blikle: This old world venue on the Nowy Swiat has been dishing up the best cakes in Warsaw since way back in 1869. A cafe in the classic Viennese mould, it oozes traditional charm and suave elegance with its long tables, tall ceilings and highly-polished surfaces. Blikle's cakes are famous nationwide in Poland, and its desserts and ice-cream are well worth dipping into your pocket for - so you'll definitely want to stay for more than just a cup of tea!
Warsaw Marriott Panorama Bar and Lounge for the best view of the city. Visit the new hot spot of Warsaw on the 40th floor daily from 18:00 until closing. An extensive selection of tasty food, beverages, cocktails, vodkas and single malts awaits you.
La Casa del Habano: This is a unique venue dedicated to the tasting of Cuban cigars which are considered to be the best in the world. It tells us "In addition to our dedicated cigar lounge which also offers fine roasted Cuban coffees to enjoy with your favorite cigar, we will offer you in the near future a refined selection of cognacs and single malts".
Top three hot spots:
The Copernicus Science Centre is one of the first institutions of its type in Poland. It includes hundreds of interactive exhibits where children, young people and adults can carry out experiments demonstrating how the world around us works. The priority is on understanding the essence of phenomena, rather than on telling the story of scientific progress.
The Warsaw Rising Museum was opened on the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of fighting in Warsaw. The Museum is a tribute by Warsaw’s residents to those who fought and died for independent Poland and its free capital. The exhibition depicts fighting and everyday life during the Rising, keeping occupation terror in the background. Complexity of the international situation at the time of the Rising is portrayed, including the post-war years of the Communist regime and the fate of Insurgents in the People’s Republic of Poland (PRL).
Old Town: Be inspired by Warsaw citizens’ commitment to rebuild their city after WWII destruction. The reconstruction effort, unprecedented on a European scale, gained the appreciation of UNESCO that in 1980 included it on the World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. We invite you to come and admire the historical soul of the city.
The Poland Convention Bureau (PCB) was created in 2002 as a department of Polish Tourism Organisation and is responsible for the promotion of Poland as an attractive destination for meetings and business events. The PCB is the first contact for anyone seeking information on business partners and conference facilities, or who is planning to organize an association congress or a corporate event in Poland. www.poland-convention.pl/en
