The Palace of Culture and Science is absolutely worth visiting while in Warsaw. The building itself is massive, impressive, and beautiful both during the day and at night. Going up to the observation deck is definitely worth it for the amazing panoramic view of the city. Tickets were very affordable around 10 PLN per person and babies enter for free. The whole area is stroller friendly, which made visiting very easy with a baby. There’s also a beautiful green park area nearby where you can relax, walk around, and enjoy the atmosphere. Overall, a great experience and one of the must-see places in Warsaw.
The tickets are valid a whole year from the date you bought them online and have no entrance slots, which was great. We waited about only 5-7 minutes for the elevator. The view was great, but because of the grid we were not able to make a nice family image with the view behind us.
Great place to visit in Warsaw. The panoramic views are stunning. I visited during summer and winter and both seasons were amazing. I love coming back to Warsaw, such a beautiful and modern city. The palace is beautiful and must see while in the capital of Poland. Dziekuje !
The terrace at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw is definitely worth a visit 🏙️✨. The views over the city are impressive, especially on a clear day 🌤️👀, and it’s a great way to get a sense of Warsaw from above. Tickets were straightforward, and the whole experience felt well organized 🎟️👍. If you like viewpoints, this one is a solid stop 📸🙂.
An iconic landmark that is a must-visit in Warsaw! The architecture is truly impressive, and the view from the observation deck on the 30th floor is breathtaking, especially at sunset. There’s always something happening inside — from theaters to exhibitions. A perfect spot to feel the heart of the city!
