Welcome to Warsaw In Your Pocket issue 113! Autumn is well and truly on the way, a great time to be in the city as the dry leaves rustle, squirrels rush to prepare for winter and the streets bustle with student chatter as the academic year gets under way. It’s still warm enough to enjoy Warsaw’s parks and river walks, which you can read more about in our ‘Autumn Vibes’ feature on p.12. If the weather does get cold or damp, it’s the perfect excuse to explore the city’s world class museums – head straight to our sightseeing section on p.30 to see what’s worth exploring for whatever weather may come your way. If you’re here on 01 & 02 November make sure to visit a cemetery – no, seriously, it’s a sigh to behold! 11 November marks Polish Independence Day, always packed with city wide celebratory events! The city that is vibrant, offering you sightseeing by the bucketload, fun-filled activities and serious history lessons, is also packed with events (check out our Events section, p.16, for details). As always, let us know how you got on in Warsaw on our FB page and/or show us what you’ve seen during your time in the city by using the hashtag #Warsawinyourpocket through social media, or if you prefer, just use good old fashioned email: poland@inyourpocket.com.
Warsaw in Autumn is a truly won- derful experience, full of visual treats, and one of the best places to experience it is in Łazienki Park (p.40). Our cover shows the amphitheatre in the heart of the complex. Nice, huh?
