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.

Great views of the city, fast purchase of tickets through a machine in the lobby. Building had no reception area therefore look for the machines which are well indicated and take the lift up. Small souvenir shop and a cafe (doesn’t have external view).

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 📸🙂.

I didn’t go inside, but even from the outside this place is very impressive. The architecture is massive and iconic, and it really stands out in Warsaw’s skyline. Looks especially beautiful when lit up in the evening. Definitely worth seeing, even if just from outside
