Poland isn’t one of those countries that is on everyone’s radar but it was on mine for a while and I’m so glad I got to experience all that it has to offer. There is still a great deal of construction because of how severely damaged it was back during World War II, yes still. But in spite of all the construction you can still get around. The nightlife is pretty fun and they have the best chocolate I have ever had anywhere in the world. The language can be a bit tricky and not everyone speaks English so if you can, do what I did and hire a private guide or a private driver as this will make your life a lot easier. You can use local currency as well as Euro’s. There is a great deal of history in Poland, some is great and some isn’t so good but definitely worth seeing and experiencing. So put it on your list of places to go see at some point in your life, I think you will love it. Another thing I think you will love about Poland is that everything is super affordable so you can live like a King (or Queen!) for not a lot of money.
Warsaw is most definitely a stylish city but its not Paris, I’m just being honest but the people I met were super friendly and more than willing to help you in anyway they could. The nightlife which I will elaborate on further on this page is fun and slightly crazy. I think in a few years once all the construction is done, this is going to be a very vibrant city, full of young beautiful people. But its still full of lots of great restaurants and bars and quite a few things to do during the day.
Take the tram through town. Its a great way to meet people and sight-see! We found a lot of bars this way =)

NIGHTLIFE:
Toro which happens to be a gay bar was a blast for sure. Probably one of the friendliest clubs I have ever been to. Even if you meet someone who doesn't really speak English, they will try. And the bartender was awesome.
