This is a nice square in the middle of the old town, surrounded by lovely 1600's period houses with a lot of atmosphere. We couldn't find the market here, although the numerous galleries and cafés were lovely. Don't miss the statue of the mermaid in the middle of the square.

Well what can I say. Nothing special. Maybe because when you look at the Old Town Square Marekt ( Rynek ) in Krakow is beyond better. In Warsaw the place is small with claustrophobic feeling. Not so much places to visit or staying. The whole visit takes about 90 seconds. Just a waist of time. Go to Krakow instead.

Really beautiful and impressive square rebuilt according to photos from pre-war times. Lots of places to eat/drink there as well and its lovely to sit in the square for a while to enjoy and soak up the feeling of the old buildings.

Try and catch the warsaw free walking tour and they will tell you all about this little square including the reasoning behind all of the little pictures above each door.

as stated, it's post war and brilliantly done. like any "Main Square" hostelries tend to be pricey....quick in and eat poorly...on the basis that's it's your one time there.....go side street and do much better.

Really wanted to go in the famous Fukier restaurant but the door... More

There was plenty of amber stores to check out, some reasturants and bars but we focussed on the status in the middle of the square. It was cold but we had to take the picture. Must be interesting to visit on week-ends went the market is on.

Beautiful part of the city, with a number of great bars and restaurants to choose from, all with outside seating in the square itself, which adds to the atmosphere of the place. Definitely worth a visit for a look around and something to eat/drink.
