Third Tour: For this afternoon was planed the visit to the Fryderyk Chopin's birthplace in Zelazowa Wola. The Chopin family left for Warsaw in the autumn of 1810, but even so Żelazowa Wola clearly held fond memories for the family. Close friends with the Skarbek family, the owners of the property, the Chopins found themselves returning frequently for their holidays. The ZW manor outbuilding was where Chopin was born and is thought to have been built at the tail end of the 18th century. The newly renovated Museum celebrates both the historical birthplace of the lauded composer and pays tribute to the dramatic history of the very museum itself. Half of the house is filled with early 19th century keepsakes, instruments, and paintings, and many visitors attest to the haunting spirit of Chopin that lingers throughout. Another part of the house is decorated in pre-war 20th century decor and traces the transformation of the outbuildings into a world-class museum. Outside the impressively landscaped bucolic garden makes for a nice weekend walk, and feature four Chopin monuments including one obelisk dating from 1894.

The plaintive tune breaks off in mid-stream, to commemorate the famous 13th century trumpeter, who was shot in the throat while sounding the alarm before the Mongol attack on the city. The noon-time hejnał is heard across Poland and abroad broadcast live by the Polish national Radio 1 Station. Saint Mary's Church also served as an architectural model for many of the churches that were built by the Polish diaspora abroad, particularly those like Saint Michael's and Saint John Cantius in Chicago, designed in the Polish Cathedral style.

In every branch of contemporary art, our rich Polish folklore becomes a source of inspiration for artists. nown for being very musical, Poles love dance and music. Folk melodies Kcan be heard in Chopin’s works, while Krzysztof Penderecki and Witold Lutosławski set new standards in the world of avant-garde music. Poland attracts a lot of attention, thanks to its talented jazz musicians and young artists excelling in the domain of alternative music. The poetry of Wisława Szymborska, recognised with a Nobel Prize, is appreciated in many corners of the world. Like Szymborska’s poems, many others’ works have been translated into foreign languages: the literary reportages of Ryszard Kapuściński, the futuristic prose of Stanisław Lem or the dramas of Sławomir Mrożek. Igor Mitoraj and Magdalena Abakanowicz are consid- ered ambassadors of Polish sculpture, with their monumental works arousing worldwide admi- ration. Roman Opałka’s and Wilhelm Sasnal’s paintings are highly sought after by art collec- tors. ▶ ▶ Poland has been home to many illustrious personalities, whose work changed the face of the world. Some were scientists, like Nicolaus Coperni- cus or Marie Skłodowska-Curie. Others shaped our reality in different ways, for example, the founders of Hollywood, Samuel Goldwyn and the Warner brothers.

    TOURISM IN WARSAW REPORT 2018 Introduction 2 Key data 3 1. Warsaw – selected social and economic information 4 2. Accessibility 8 3. Tourist accommodation 12 4. Tourist attractions 16 5. Attractions off the beaten track 20 6. Tourist traffic characteristics 24 7. Meetings industry 28 8. Warsaw’s image 32 Sources 36 Warsaw’s pulse beats to the rhythm of its residents: not only in the city centre but in all 18 districts of the capital. Each one is a mosaic of colourful vibes, authentic stories and unique tastes. Within these districts we are witnessing a revitalisation of post- industrial spaces, the development of new estates and attractions as well as the creation of business and recreation zones. The former industrial districts of Wola and Powiśle are undergoing change; the former “Koneser” vodka distillery in Praga district has transformed into a modern space where all types of outdoor events take place and are open to all. Warsaw’s residents more often spend time outside the city centre and value the variety and atmosphere of all Warsaw’s districts, and in so doing, inspire those visiting the capital to discover places off the beaten track. A popular meeting place is beside the River Vistula: one can relax here along the modern boulevards and well-kept beaches, do sport or explore the “wild” bank, which is a part of the protected “Natura 2000” network. It is easy to relax outdoors in any of Warsaw’s dozens of green squares, parks and gardens which regularly host a variety of events including the popular breakfast markets and ‘eco bazaars’, in line with the worldwide trend in health and an ecological lifestyle.
