Warsaw
The place where you can see the mermaid!
Warsaw is the capital of Poland. But apart from that fact why is Warsaw such a famous place?
We've got 3 main reasons.
- Warsaw airport - Okęcie. This is the first place many visitors see in Poland. It is on the Żwirki and Wigury street. They were the famous Polish flayers. The airport was opened in 1934 th and it's named by Polish composer and the wonderful pianist of 19th century - Fryderyk Chopin. You can also see his monument in the front of First Terminal. You can go to the viewing terrace and look at aero planes which are coming and flight. It is a very beautiful view. Of course, you can take photos.

You can see there the monuments of famous Poles for example: Henryk Sienkiewicz, Stanisław August Poniatowski, Jan III Sobieski and Fryderyk Chopin. You can also see Palace on the Water from side to side. The White Little House, which was built in eighteen century and The Water Tower (1827) are here too. Also there is the Old Orangery (1786-1788). It was design by Dominik Merlini. At least you must hear about Amphitheater. It have two parts. There are many of peacocks. Their voices are very noisy. The place is ideal for walks and romantic meetings.

The Old Town is a place, where according to an old legend lived the Bazyliszek - a hoorid creature which turned into stone everybody who looked at it.
You can see there the Chapel of Miraculous Jesus. It is in Church Saint John the Baptist. On gate this church are sirens and eagles.
