Established in the 13th century, the old town of Warsaw is the oldest part of the city and is situated on the banks of the Vistula river. It is one of Warsaw's biggest tourist attractions.
Following the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, much of the area was badly damaged. It was partly rebuilt but, following the Warsaw uprising, the Nazis blew up what was left standing.
Incredibly, the old town was rebuilt with great attention to detail to make it look as close as possible to how it was before the destruction. Many of the old bricks were reused.
On my first day in Warsaw, I explore its beautiful old town and learn of some tragic history and local legends.

After 18 months of a life on pause, thanks to the sodding corona virus, and endless hours on Google Maps checking out all the places I want to visit, the time has finally arrived to begin my travels in Europe.
Starting in Berlin, I plan to travel east as far as Georgia and taking in pretty much all of the countries in between.
I will be vlogging my way through Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Moldova, Turkey and probably many more.
Join me from the start of my journey so you can say you were there right from the start :)
