Warsaw Travel Guide
Poland
Warsaw is Poland’s capital and largest city, with a population of 1,797,516. It is the country’s main urban centre, located in central Poland on the Vistula River.
Most international visitors arrive through Warsaw Chopin Airport, while Warsaw Radom Airport also serves the city. Warsaw is inland, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so a city break here is better suited to urban sightseeing than a beach holiday.

Tipping: Tipping is appreciated in Poland for good service, but it is not always mandatory. While a service charge is sometimes included in restaurant bills, it's common to leave an additional tip for excellent service. Rounding up the bill is also a frequent practice.
