Kraków may be known as Poland's cultural capital, but the country's official capital – Warsaw – is just as appealing to culture hounds.

Following a day spent at a music festival or the Copernicus Science Centre, you can explore the historic Old Town neighborhood. Or, soak up Warsaw's rich (and often dark) past at museums like the Warsaw Uprising Museum and the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews.
