Visiting Warsaw. So now I finally get it when they tell you that it’s important to plan your posts in advance. I’ve always put mine together whenever a thought or something else inspired me but when you are on a trip that’s half business half vacation for only a week, sitting down at the computer for any period of time is a challenge.
Today’s post is short on words but I think these images speak for themselves. This isn’t my first time visiting Warsaw and I certainly hope it won’t be my last. It’s an unusually cold March, minus 12 degrees Celsius but that isn’t forcing us indoors. This city is simply too beautiful not to enjoy.
These pictures encompass what I love about Warsaw and many other European cities. It’s all in the details. Each building has unique elements and together they work as a beautiful piece of art. Wandering the streets I feel like I’m in a huge open air gallery.
I had a romantic idea of grabbing a coffee, walking around and taking pictures of people going about their day. Unfortunately, the weather is not really cooperating and Tuesday it snowed from morning until night. So much so in fact that my husband and I decided to celebrate Christmas in March this year (I’m hoping that we get to celebrate again in December).
Everyone was bundled up, heads down rushing to get indoors so instead I focused on the architecture and style of the city. I couldn’t resist uploading this picture. Over the years there have been many renowned Polish artists whose art appearedon posters/adverts and these did not disappoint.
This is definitely a city that is enamored with the arts. Music fills the air each morning streaming out from the windows of the Music Conservatory. There are too many local theater companies to count as well as a beautiful square dedicated to the National Theater Company as well as several other performing arts venues.
If the arts are a big part of your life then this is a city that will most certainly feed your soul.
As I write, the sun is pouring into my hotel window. Fingers crossed the weather holds and I’ll be able to take some wonderful pictures today, my last day, for now, in Warsaw.
A tip: When visiting Warsaw make sure you take some time to enjoy the multitude of fabulous eateries!

Nice post.I think I feel the emotion when you say ”Everyone was bundled up, heads down rushing to get indoors so instead I focused on the architecture and style of the city.”It’s always like this for a person who lives in a beautiful city.They don’t see things like that.

It’s funny that you say that because it’s so true. I walk around the city really ‘seeing’ it and everyone is so surprised that I love it!
Neat details! Really miss Poland when I see the pictures, even though I´ve just been in Krakow. Kajsa
