Warsaw is a compact city and all the large hotels are within a short taxi ride of each other. The Old Town is worth a look if any clients have an hour or so to spare when in the city. I wouldn’t call it a beautiful city as, except for the old town, the architecture is pretty bland and reminiscent of many Germany cities having been rebuilt at the same time. However, it does have a relaxed and safe feel to it with everyone we met being very friendly, plus there are some hidden gems in this city such as Lazienki Park.
Costs are very low throughout the city making it a good value option for anyone considering this as a destination for an event, although DMC services would probably be required to assist with some of the more unusual venues.

The dinner was held in a large hall which looked like it could take approx 150 in cabaret layout. The food was good although service was slow. There was plenty of space for a stage (the SongDivison crew were providing the music) and for dancing.

Our final Gala Dinner took place at the Palace of Culture and Science, which is in the business district and only 5-10 minutes by coach from the Sheraton. This enormous building was one of the first built by the communists (1955) and is therefore a divisive building – since independence there have been calls for it to be destroyed, but this now looks unlikely. The Palace was built for ‘the workers’ as a centre of culture, as such it houses museums and exhibitions, a theatre, cinema, swimming pool as well as bars and shops.

It is a city with over 100 museums and commemorative statues and sculptures are on almost every corner, much of it linked to events during the war, including a large museum in the vicinity of the former Jewish ghetto.
The tour then took us to Praga on the east side of the Vistula River. This is traditionally the rougher part of Warsaw but is now slowly becoming gentrified and has an arty feel to it. The banks of the river have been turned into beaches so we spent the last part of our tour having a drink on the beach whilst watching a regular Saturday massive salsa class – pretty impressive given the heat!

Sofitel is the closest ‘chain’ hotel to the heart of the Old Town, but The Bristol and The Bellotti (both 5-stars) are even closer.

“After further appointments with the DMCs, I went on the ‘Warsaw in a Nutshell’ tour which took us to the Old Town, an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most of Warsaw was completely flattened during the war and during the 1950’s and into 1960’s, the centre of Warsaw was completely rebuilt to look the same as it had done pre-war. So, the lovely ‘medieval’ market square with it’s old street and houses is in fact only 50 or so years old.
