Although maybe not the first set of sights on most people's lists, the cemeteries of Warsaw have a story to tell about the life and times of the city. Atmospheric places to visit, not just around the national holiday of All Saints' Day on November 1st, Powązki in particular is a recommended trip for anyone interested in the history of Poland.
