Pass through the infamous Warsaw Ghetto area, along the Royal Route with its aristocratic mansions, and see the Old Town and the Royal Castle. Wander around the Old Town perfectly reconstructed so that the houses still lean on one another as if with age. Lovely cafes edge the central square; sit and watch the world go by surrounded by the multi-colored buildings, imagining life here before WWII. Tour the Royal Castle another reconstruction but with much of the original furniture, which was saved. In front is grand Castle Square, used for speech-making and by local skateboarders, performers etc. See Zymunt's Column, an original 17th century memorial to a Polish King, and wander down Royal Route which becomes Nowy Swiat. This is the main shopping street and also has lovely cafes. Dinner and overnight in Warsaw.

Walking around the area that was the Warsaw Ghetto there is still evidence of the damage to buildings. In happier times, the city was the birthplace of Chopin and there is a monument to the composer in Lazienki Park. The original 1926 monument was destroyed during the war but this replica is a popular meeting place and location for concerts. Lazienki Park is a lovely treed space and also has the Lazienki Palace on an island in the lake. Dinner and overnight in Torun.
