  Warsaw
  Much of Warsaw`s historic center was painstakingly recreated and today`s Old Town buildings are closer to the original architecture than they were ever before. It has a wealth of shops and restaurants to potter around in. The city also boasts many green spaces, with leafy parks where rowing boats cruise past outdoor cafés, during the summer, and free classical concerts attract. In addition, the Former Jewish ghetto is a stark reminder of the unforgiving hand of history. The nightlife scene is equally surprising, with the city`s increasingly well-dressed youth flocking to the countless bars and clubs of a city that now hums after dark.
