1 My recent trip to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, was a memorable one. The picturesque locales and snow-ladden landmarks were truly sights to behold. I visited the place during the months of November-December, and the temperature was -10 C. Since, I love snowfall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there!
2 The entire city of Warsaw, was destroyed during the World War, the entire place has a 16th century vibe. The architecture was re-built with an old-world vibe and it literally transports you back to an era you probably just read about. The must visits are the City’s Old Town for its gothic architecture, Market square for it’s colourful buildings, and monuments with mermaid statues.
3 Poland is certainly not a place for vegetarians. The only respite is how Poland is the place for potatoes. The locals thrive on meat. I indulged in mashed potatoes, chicken steak with potatoes and fish. Oh, and let’s not forget how Poland knows its desserts well. There are a myriad variants of delectable apple pie and irresistible cheese cakes. The customary Christmas sweet pudding is another must-have.
4 While I was busy exploring the mesmerising landscapes, I also managed to bring home a couple of interesting buys — which included toys for my nephew, bags, and tonnes of mermaid engraved showpieces.
5 As much as I loved my trip to Poland, I must say the next check-in to Slovakia was even better! One of the trips to the mountains remain one of my fondest memories of the place.
