    A must-see, but you need to reserve at least 4 hours. The only such unique place in Poland. Tombs in various styles, unusual descriptions, I recommend reading, you can learn a lot about the person himself or about the political situation (secret councilors of the imperial court, representatives of the nobility, counts, bishops). A little note, it's a good idea to take something to drink, there are no shops in the area, you can chill on the spot in the heat. Of course, I also recommend the part about artists.

    a place that gives a lot to think about, if someone likes necropolises, they will definitely like Powązki, many old monuments, large catacombs, it is worth visiting both during the day and at night. During the day you can admire some monuments - like works of art, and at night the amazing atmosphere of this place is created.

    Distinguished people are buried in the catacombs. Many famous personalities from the world of culture, art and science. In 1925, the Avenue of Merit was created at the back of the catacombs. It is worth visiting this part of the cemetery.

    A beautiful place in Warsaw. Everyone should see this cemetery someday. This is our story. Many beautiful tombstones from different eras, many famous people rest here. I encourage you to visit and reflect.

    A beautiful, atmospheric place. Almost every grave has some original, unique element. I recommend reading in advance or going on a guided tour (Zaułek Warszawski organizes such tours). You need to reserve a lot of time because the cemetery is large. I've been there more than once and each time I discover something new and delightful. I highly recommend

    Old city cemetery. A place of peace and quiet. You can spend hours wandering the shady alleys of the Necropolis to study its history. Many monuments of various styles and forms. Many family crypts. The cemetery borders the Military and Jewish cemeteries. It is interesting both from the historical side and from the tourist side.

    Brings you back in time. It is really interesting to see the types of graves from the different centuries.

    You can kill yourself on uneven surfaces, sidewalks, curbs and roots. Overall, the rest is ok. It's nice that they have night lighting.

    I really like to visit on November 1st. The grave of Czesław Niemen, Stanisław Reymont, heroic scouts fighting in the Uprising, a little further the grave of Irena Kwiatkowska... today it was atmospheric, light fog but warm 🌼🌼

    (Translated by Google) A place worth visiting, it's best to go through Powązki and leave it at the end. If someone has more time, it's good to look for who all these people were. (Original) Warte odwiedzenia miejsce, najlepiej przejść całe Powązki i to zostawić na koniec. Jeśli ktoś ma więcej czasu to dobrze sobie poszukać kim były te wszystkie osoby.

    (Translated by Google) Many famous names have been buried here. Many come to them to pay homage to them for their lives, for their emotions, for their ideas. (Original) Wiele znanych nazwisk spoczęło w tym miejscu. Wielu do nich przychodzi oddać im hołd za ich życie, za wzruszenia, za pomysły.
