    Very nice
    Beautiful area. It is a must while in Warsaw! During winter here is organized a Christmas Market. Very vibrant atmosphere but sometimes could be very crowded. Beautiful surrounding houses, many restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops.

    Beautiful old Warsaw square
    A beautiful part of the Warsaw with so much history one of the first things l notice was how beautiful each townhouse was painted and the detail in the work which were all surrounding the square. Cetrepiece is the stature of the little mermaid of Warsaw which is the coat of arms of Warsaw city and considered the city's protector. Square offers so much from restaurants, bars. museums, art gallery, souvenir shops, Photo opportunities and in close walking distance to other attractions in Old Town.

    Heart of Warsaw
    This is the heart of Warsaw's rebuilt old town. Perfectly restored to its former glory and opulence, it is a lively place full of tourists admiring its beauty. The square is impressive at first sight with plenty of details to explore.

    A must see in Warsaw
    The Old Town Market Square is beautifully restored to its medieval appearance. Walk around the square and soak up the atmosphere. There are many restaurants to choose from along the square. Be sure to visit the Museum of Warsaw. The top floor of the museum has a lovely observation deck with lovely views of the square.

This square is surrounded by beautiful town houses and there are many restaurants and cafes with open air eating.

Like almost everything in the Old Town, this square and all the houses were rebuilt after the war according to their original form. In the middle of the square there is a statue of a mermaid, the protector of the city of Warsaw.

This is off Castle Square and as with Castle Square, it is tunning in good light, fun, lots of good restaurants & cafés, and wonderful museums. Make time and plans to visit the Warsaw Museum in the Old Market Square. Absolutely worth the time.

The Rynek of Stare Miasto in Warsaw is opening for this Christmas Season, little shops that offer everything you can hope for to celebrate December. And there is ice skating around the mermaid. Beautiful to visit!!

Beautiful square with some amazing ornate buildings. On a par with Brussels square for magnificence. Lots of bars and restaurants with open air eating & drinking. Also lots of benches to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.

I have walked through and dined in this square during the day and in the evening. I most enjoy it in the evening, when I am able to relax, and enjoy fine Polish cuisine and beer at one of the fine restaurants in the square. A great place to relax, and people watch.
