Warsaw

In the next years Poland will remain one of the biggest

construction site in Europe. From the cohesion policy budget

for 2014-2020 Poland will receive the most from all the EU

Member States – EUR 82.5 bn. EUR 27.4 bn from this amount

will be spent on Infrastructure and Environment Programme.

EUR 4.1 bn will be allocated for infrastructure projects of

European significance in the field of transport, power

engineering and information technology as part of the

Connecting Europe Facility.

Warsaw is the biggest city in Poland and contributes

about 12% to Poland's total income.

Warsaw gained the title of the "phoenix city" because it

has survived so many wars, conflicts and invasions

throughout its long history. During World War II 85% of

buildings were destroyed but today the city is considered an

“Alpha–“ global city, a major international tourist destination

and a significant cultural, political and economic hub.

Warsaw's economy, by a wide variety of industries, is

characterized by FMCG manufacturing, metal processing,

steel and electronic manufacturing and food processing.

Many global companies are building branches, offices and

headquarters in Warsaw. With even less than 3%

unemployment rate, the city is home to major universities,

high-end malls, government seats, churches and some of

Europe's tallest buildings. The Warsaw Stock Exchange is one

of the largest and most important in Central Europe.

Buildings are representatives of nearly every European

architectural style and historical period. Warsaw has

wonderful examples of architecture from the gothic,

renaissance, baroque and neoclassical periods and around a

quarter of the city is filled with grand parks and royal

gardens.

Guided tour

The Royal Castle

The history of the Royal Castle goes back to the

fourteenth century when the Great Tower was

erected (now called the Justice Court Tower). In the

sixteenth and seventeenth centuries during the reign

of Sigismund III Vasa, the Castle underwent large-

scale expansion and was transformed into a five-

winged edifice with an inner courtyard. It was a royal

residence, the place where parliamentary

deliberations were held and the administrative and

cultural centre of the country. In September 1944 the

Castle was blown up by the Germany army. In the

years 1945-1970, the Communist authorities delayed

making a decision on whether to rebuild the Castle.

The decision to do so was taken in 1971. Funds for the

rebuilding of the Castle which took until 1980 were

provided thanks to the dedication of the community.

Since 1995 work has been undertaken on the

conservation of the Kubicki Arcades and the

reconstruction of the gardens. Once these works are

completed, and the Tin-Roofed Palace refurbished,

the rebuilding of the Royal Castle complex will have

been finalized.

Evening reception

Dinner at the Old Town

The Old Town was established in the 13th

century. Initially surrounded by an earthwork

rampart, prior to 1339 it was fortified with brick city

walls. The town originally grew up around the castle

of the Dukes of Mazovia that later became the Royal

Castle. During the reconstruction as many of the

original bricks were reused as possible. Warsaw's Old

Town has been placed on the UNESCO's list of World

Heritage Sites as "an outstanding example of a near-

total reconstruction of a span of history covering the

13th to the 20th century”.
