The ‘Polish Versailles’ is one of the many fitting monikers applied to the splendid, late 17th-century Palace of Wilanów, 10 kilometres south of Warsaw’s centre. Essential visiting for all who come to soak up the capital’s lavish culture, Wilanów is more than just a Palace. The sprawling 45-hectare setting is full of things to do, from visiting the superb Poster Museum next door to renting a rowing boat on the Palace’s lake. If the weather’s good and you’ve got time to spare, it’s easy to spend an entire and thoroughly rewarding day here.
