Varso Tower is without a doubt one of the most remarkable places in the city – and it truly changes the way you see Warsaw. For years, the Palace of Culture and Science has been the most iconic landmark, but this new tower redefines the skyline and takes the experience to a whole new level.
Being the tallest building in the European Union, it offers a unique combination of modern architecture, well-designed interiors, and breathtaking views. Tickets can be purchased online (cheaper option) or directly at the counter. Entry is organized in groups – arriving about 15 minutes before your time slot is just right.
The high-speed elevator whisks you up in seconds, gradually revealing the panorama of Warsaw. Before reaching the top, you walk through a gallery showcasing the city’s history with interactive digital installations, cleverly designed to give you the sensation of floating among the clouds.
At the 49th floor, you’ll find a terrace with a small shop. From there, another elevator takes you even higher to the main observation deck. The view is simply unforgettable – stretching across all horizons. Watching the city transform during the golden hour was magical. From this perspective, even the massive Palace of Culture looks like a tiny Lego block. The east side, the bustling avenues, and the sea of office buildings in the north – everything feels calm and almost meditative from above, as if everyday problems remain far below.
After the visit, you can relax in the lower garden and bistro. I had an iced latte (not even on the menu, but made for me with a smile), and it was excellent. The staff are warm, friendly, and truly welcoming. Exiting through the souvenir shop is also a pleasant surprise – from magnets and pins to stylish clothing with Warsaw Tower branding, all very tastefully done in an international style.
The entire experience feels perfectly designed – nothing is out of place. The observation deck also has binoculars for kids (and adults!), which makes the visit even more fun. And the transition from day to night, watching the city light up from above, is something I’ll never forget.
An absolute must-visit in Warsaw. Highly recommended for everyone – families, travelers, or locals who want to see their city from a whole new perspective.
