Once you got to Cracow, you need to see the successive and current Poland’s capital. Warsaw has much to offer. On the one hand it is one of the most significant cultural carrier, used to be called as either ‘Jerusalem of the North’ or ‘Paris of the North’, with regard to its sizeable Jewish population and many splendid pieces of architecture. On the other hand Warsaw has been a vibrant modern city, full of various kinds of entertainment. Here tradition meets future at every step.
Warsaw is the largest interchange in the country with plenty of international trains stopping in. Central Warsaw (Warszawa Centralna) is the primary railway station in the capital. Here you find both long and short distance trains offered by the regional and national carriers. If you choose to reach Warsaw by plane, there are special lines S2 and S3 from Chopin Airport via centre of the city. Both are carried by SKM (Szybka Kolej Miejska).
