For centuries Warsaw has been a center of refinement and knowledge. Its strategic position has also made it one of the most invaded countries in Europe. Shaped by history’s defining events, World War Two, and the closing of the Iron Curtain, Warsaw is a survivor, and has risen from the ashes of war.  
Krakow, with its bubbly Baroque and cobbled charm, is emerging as the exciting “next Prague.” Systematically destroyed during World War II, Warsaw is a lively, thriving capital once again.
