It's a must to visit. Beautiful gardens surround the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. So very peaceful. The changing of the guards is enjoyable to see.

This is a rather plain and simple monument with a rather strict atmosphere and no plaques with explanations whatsoever. It is located just next to the Saxon gardens. Worths a look if you are nearby.

Had the opportunity of seing the change of guards, a very interesting moment. A place to visit and reflect. Two soldiers are present all the time.

Brilliant atmosphere here. Respectful and quiet. Overlooking a massive square with fountains and trees behind. The fire is always burning. Moving and interesting. During the night it is lit up and during the day you can see the remnants of the massive building their used to be. Definately visit if only to pay your respects.

Did you serve...? Then you should pay tribute to the fallen servicemen and the honor guard standing post at the tomb of the unknown soldier. - It is allowed to take pictures, but considered polite to point with your finger at your camera, and look at one of the soldiers. He will nod, and signal his consent...

The Tomb is situated under the remaining arcade of Saxon Palace in which the code to German encrypting machine Enigma was broken for the first time. The palace was destroyed by Germans after the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, thus the Tomb itself has its symbolism underlined by the will to survive and never give up by Polish nation. Try to... More

The tomb is not exciting but, as most, it is a nice tribute to the Polish military and all those who have served.

There are two soldiers there around the clock. They were like the guards in London. They stood motionless the park was beautiful but it was during a terrible snow storm so we could not enjoy it as much as if the weather was better.
