Reviews from Real Guests:

Kim~ Keep on EXPloring: Born on March 1st, 1818 in Żelazowa Wola, Fryderyk Chopin is Poland‘s greatest composer and Warsaw‘s favourite son. He has lent his name to everything from vodka to airports. An early age musical prodigy, his life as a musician was full of success. As that of many other artists, however, it was marked by unrequited love, exile, illness, bankruptcy and solitude. He died at age 39 in Paris. His compositions live on and have become a source of Polish national pride. Taking up four floors the museum features an interactive style and shares the life of Chopin from start to finish leaving absolutely no detail out. Among the 5,000 exhibits are a lock of hair, his school exercise books, a sweet box, a gold watch presented to the ten year old Frederic by an admiring Italian singer and the passport he used to enter England. So comprehensive is the collection it even features the last letter he wrote to his family and dried flowers from his deathbed. Also, of course, are several paintings and sculptures (including his death mask), a recreation of his Paris drawing room, and even an intriguing section on the women who made the man. One area that is particularly popular is the Composer's Hall, an area where you can listen to all of Chopin's music. Mr Chopin, welcome to the 21st century.

The Old Town of Warsaw is an older urban area in Warsaw, Poland, and it is also a major tourist destination in Warsaw. It is bounded by the Gdansk Riverfront Road, Grodzka Street, Mostova Street and Podwale Street on the Vistula River. The heart of Warsaw's Old Town is the Old Town Market Square, surrounded by restaurants, cafés and shops. The surrounding streets are flanked by medieval buildings such as city walls, watchtowers and St. John's Cathedral. The buildings in the old city were all rebuilt later, but this did not affect people's appreciation of its beauty. There are many attractions in the old town, such as the Mermaid Statue, the Royal Palace, the Old Town Square and the Marie Curie Museum. You can spend half a day in the old town slowly admiring the surrounding buildings and tasting authentic Polish specialties by the way. Out of love for the architectural heritage of the motherland, the teachers and students of the Department of Architecture of the University of Warsaw have made surveying and mapping records of the main blocks and important buildings of the ancient city of Warsaw. When the war broke out, they hid all these drawings and materials in caves. Although the houses and streets were destroyed, their image materials were preserved. The Old Town of Warsaw was later included in the World Heritage List in 1980 as a special case. World heritage is generally something that refuses to accept reconstruction, but the people of Warsaw spontaneously rose up to protect their national culture and historical traditions, setting an example for all ancient cities in the world, and also having an important impact on the protection of ancient cities in Europe.
