The Royal Castle in Warsaw

The ticket price was on the higher side, but the overall experience was absolutely worth it. The organization was excellent. Each visitor received an audio guide with multiple language options, we chose English. At first, navigating the rooms using the guide was a bit confusing, but after some trial and error, it all started to make sense. The rooms were stunning, with elegant decoration and incredible attention to detail. The information provided was thorough and engaging. Overall, this was one of the most impressive and well-curated palaces I’ve visited.

It was a complete accident that I visited this palace on a Wednesday—when entry happened to be free of charge! I was in Warsaw for just one day, and I got really lucky. The palace is absolutely stunning — beautiful and so well maintained. If you're ever in Warsaw, even for just a day, you should definitely visit this place!

The Royal Castle in Warsaw is absolutely worth a visit. The interiors are stunning — full of history, beautifully restored, and incredibly detailed. Highlights like the Throne Room and Canaletto Room really give you a sense of the grandeur and importance of the place. The exhibitions are well-organized and interesting, with just the right amount of information. You get a real feel for Poland’s royal past and the resilience of the country, especially knowing how much of the castle had to be rebuilt after WWII. It’s a must-see if you’re in Warsaw — both for the history and the beauty of the space. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip.

This was an interesting "castle" to see how the royalty lived and were worshiped. The tour went through several areas of the building but there were many places left to be discovered. It would be interesting to see the rest of the castle.

I can only imagine how a life of royalty is lived, but The Royal Castle in Warsaw gives a jaw-dropping look into what it was like. One thing to note about Warsaw is how amazingly and ambitiously the Old Town was rebuilt meticulously after being decimated in World War II. This castle is humongous. Be prepared for many rooms along a numbered path (picking up an audio guide with headphones is recommended; you are given an automatic recording of details for each room you enter). Spectacular sights. Makes me wanna redecorate my house. A wonderful place to see. Give yourself at least two hours if not more.

A large museum was completely rebuilt after the war. The visit focuses on the careful decoration of each of the rooms. And on the ground floor there are some paintings by great painters and some antiques. The audio guide is worth it. It is worth it to get to know a little of the Royal Warsaw.

Nice place to go. I would do a free tour where everyone meets up. You will see the flags. We did a paid tour and it was great. If your going go around the front to see. Not a lot of people know about going in the feont.

Lots of new items added to the permanent gallery for the 50th anniversary of the castle reconstructed. Tassi’s Shipwreck and the Fall of Troy, as well new pieces to the porcelain gallery, several Italian busts and embroidery in the throne room. My favorite pieces are Queen Bona Sforza's hand painted Prayer Book, The Backgammon Game painting that was inspired by Caravaggio’s chiaroscuro, The Roman Faun statue and Rembrandt’s Girl in the Frame as he was able to show her leaning forward. Great way to spend an afternoon in Warsaw.

Pure coincidence, but I came on a Wednesday which is a free day, nice! The original castle, and most of Warsaw was completely destroyed in World War 2, but it was built back as closely as possible to the original design. The castle still looks old, but it definitely seems newer than other castles you may have visited in the past. You'll walk on a guided path through several opulent and beautifully decorated rooms filled with incredible art. The castle exterior is rather bland, but don't a judge a book by its cover? Maybe its more of 4 Star if you had to pay the 50PLN/$12.50 regular ticket fee, but that low cost shouldn't deter you from visiting this lovely castle. Plus you've already spent $1000s to get to Poland right?

This palace is on a different level!! OMGoodness. Must. Go. See. It's a self guided audio tour. As you enter each room you enter a number on the audio device they give you and it describes what you're looking at. It took about 90 minutes to go through the museum. The rooms are just incredible. So much detail everywhere; paintings, sculptures, decor.

The royal castle of Warsaw is pretty neat. In general I love castles, palaces, museums and all things that embody histories of a place. So, yes I paid a visit to the castle while being in Warsaw. The admission fee is 20 zl. It's located in the castle square of old town Warsaw. A bit of a history behind it: It served as house to monarchs throughout history. Also, administrative offices for the royal court. It was completely destroyed in WW2. Its pretty neat that they were able to build it back. It was reconstructed with the royal library remnants, the copper roof is the original one as well as the Kubicki Arcades. My favorites from my visit: - The marble room was totally neat in my opinion with the certain colors, columns, materials used and awesome paintings/sculptures. Art throughout the castle- The two paintings by Rembrandt are brilliant. The Girl in the Picture Frame reminded me of my best friend Kainath. I literally looked at this painting for about 5 minutes. Then looked at the scholar in his writing table painting. Then went back to look at the girl painting one more time. Overall, a great castle to visit and enjoy. ~

Royal palace in old town - must see! The audio recordings are very descriptive and interesting however the rooms are not in order (look for the # in each room). Exterior is very plain and doesn't resemble a palace. Interiors however are fabulous! The rooms are intact with original furnishings and lots of art. Highly recommend!

The Royal Castle does not look as gilded as the other castles throughout Europe. In fact, as I was searching for this castle, I passed by it TWICE because I mistook it for an ordinary building! They have guard ladies throughout the castle watching your every move. Don't do something wrong or else you will be scolded! There is SO much to see at the Royal Castle. I will admit, since there is so much to see, I ran through most of it because it seemed redundant. The castle was destroyed during WWII, just as the rest of Warsaw was. They have remnants of the old castle intertwined with the newly constructed building, which I found fascinating.

The Royal Castle in Warsaw is definitely a must visit as a tourist in Warsaw. It was the official residence of the Polish monarchs and now contains a national museum. Regarding said museum, try to get there in the morning since they seem to close randomly in the afternoon despite information on opening times signs at the castle or information online saying it will be open... The castle was beautifully lit up at Christmas time with snow flakes and there was a lovely tree outside of it.

The Royal Castle in Warsaw is located in the Castle Square at the entrance to the Warsaw Old Town. The Royal Castle was the residence of the Polish Monarch. It has long violent history which was attack by the armies of Swedish, German, and Russian. After WWII it was rebuilt to become a national monument and listed as national museum. Unfortunately due to time factor we didn't visit the museum inside but nothing stopping you.
