There is a large variety of museums, galleries and other tourist attractions, and there is always something happening throughout the year. Warsaw's nightlife is also on the rebound, and a reborn cafe culture has taken over the city. There is no shortage of accommodation options and a wide choice of restaurants and bars. While sprawling, it is quite easy to navigate for tourists thanks to a good public transit system, and most important sights are quite close to each other. It has a mixture of new and old in its eclectic architectural mix, and is constantly changing.

Today, Warsaw is a bustling metropolis and one of the European Union's fastest-developing capitals and the Union's ninth most populous urban centre. Warsaw also had one of the largest Jewish populations in Europe, which for the most part perished during the war, making Warsaw an important place of Holocaust remembrance. Due to the great efforts of its surviving inhabitants and, indeed the entire nation, it was rebuilt from a field of rubble, with its historic core recreated, but much of its heritage was lost. During the Second World War, it suffered a fate similar to Rotterdam and Dresden in that it was almost completely razed, although in the case of Warsaw it was a much more tragic story of successive destruction and defeat. Warsaw's history of rapid development after many wars that ravaged and destroyed the city has earned it a reputation as a "phoenix city", able to recreate itself from the ruins and regain its erstwhile glory every time. It is on the Vistula River (Polish: Wisła) in the middle of the country. Warsaw ( Polish: Warszawa) is Poland's capital and largest city, with 1.8 million inhabitants (2021). Warsaw is a huge city with several district articles that contain information about specific sights, restaurants, and accommodation.
