What can be better than letting your itchy fit walk around a new place, breathe in the aromas of freshly-brewed coffee and hot pastry and enjoy the number of photos on your camera?
While it takes time to plan a long trip, having a city break is hands down — book the tickets, grab the backpack and you’re off to unwind and get rid of the mind-killing routine. Our world is full of wonders and the Polish capital city Warsaw is one of examples. Having been razed to the ground during WW II, Warsaw managed to emerge from the ruins and build up its beauty and charming atmosphere.
