We will continue our tour of Warsaw walking along the broad avenue Krakowskie Przedmieście (Cracow Suburb), which is the first part of the "Royal Route" that runs from the Royal Castle, past the summer palace Łazienki to the Wilanów palace.
To the right of the Europejski Hotel you come the Church of the Visitation Sisters, Wizytek, step inside to see its beautiful Baroque interior.
Next we come to Warsaw University in its park like setting, and the statue of the astronomer Copernicus.

Here the broad avenue changes into a narrow, flower lined street Nowy Świat, (New World), lined with cafés and small shops. It ends at Three Crosses Sq., Plac Trzech Krzyzy. A few minutes along a side street brings you to the Parliament, Sejm.

The Ujazdów Avenue starts here. It is lined with parks on one side, mansions and embassies on the other. A new statue of pianist and statesman Ignacy Paderewski watches over the ducks and swans swimming in the pond of the Ujazdów Gardens. At the far end of the avenue, Chopin sits above a pond and rose gardens. |
