It is a beautiful place. As Warsaw was almost totally destructed during II World War, it needed to be built from the foundations. But great job was done and it looks really great nowadays. Inside you will find a lot of art masterpieces, definitely worth seeing. It is a must for any visitors in Warsaw. I cannot give five stars though, because of the staff attitude. Smile costs nothing - lesson which most of them should be tought. Visitors are not asking the questions because they are horrible people, they ask them, because they want to learn something...

Dear Halcatra, Thank you so much for your review. And we do agree that smile cost nothing. And we are sorry that you had this experience.
We will be working on this, and thank you again for the feedback. Constructive criticism is crucial to improvement.
All the best from Warsaw and hopefully see you again.
This place should be visited to become a little bit intelligent. The atmosphere is miraculous inside this castle.




This is right in the hear of old town and deserves a visit. People talk about Versailles castle but I liked this one better. It has some unique stuff and it is very tasteful and not over the top. A great way to fill in a couple of hours.


The castel was official residence of the Polish kings. Sometimes was robbed by the invadors. During the partitions of Poland in 19th century majority of the collections were taken to Russia. Some things returned to Poland after the WW1. The castle was in flames in September 1939. Polish people were trying to salvage the most precious art collections. During the occupation many things were dismantled and taken away to Germany. In October 1939 Hitler issued the order to blow up the castle. It was blasted by German sappers in September 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising. Reconstructed very precisely, some original things returned to its interiors. Nice apartments, beautiful sculpurtes, Canaletto, Lanckoronski collections with two Rembrand's paintings. Constitution of 3 May 1791, the first one in Europe. Audioguide recomended. The castle as a part of Old Town is on the UNESCO list as 'an outstanding example of a near-total reconstruction of a span of history covering the 13th to the 20th century'.





The castle did not look like it was very big from the outside, so we did not think there would actually be very much to see, but once inside it was an incredible surprise! Completely reconstructed after the war, it was just stunning. The audio guide was invaluable in helping us to learn about its history and the efforts to save items such as its artwork. Wherever possible, fragments of the original castle were included in the reconstruction. It was a very poignant and inspiring tribute to the resilience of the Polish people and how much effort they have put in to rebuilding Warsaw.
