The Polish capital has been familiar to Russian tourists since the dashing nineties, when the first swallows of free trade developing in our country rushed to the city and its environs. Large checkered bags were the main signs of the then travelers. Today tours to Warsaw are ordered by fans of eternal European values and lovers of good museums and old city buildings, and their luggage is stylish suitcases and elegant backpacks.
History with geography
The name of the city, according to its inhabitants, comes from the merger of the names of the fisherman Vars, who for some reason married the mermaid Sava. Whether it was in fact or the people of Warsaw are just great originals, history is silent, but the mermaid has long been the symbol of the city. Her image adorns the coat of arms of the capital, and her stone statue meets all participants of tours to Warsaw on the Market Square.
The city began in the 10th century with several fishing settlements on the Vistula, and already in the 16th century, King Sigismund proclaimed it the capital of the country. Warsaw was almost completely destroyed by the Nazis during the Second World War and rebuilt after the end of hostilities. Its historical center is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
