The destruction the city underwent in WWII has led to a rush to rebuild many of its faces, none more so than its cultural ego and it today boasts 30 theatres and 60 cinemas. A visit to the Gestapo Headquarters or the Pawiak Prison Museum is a must for any modern history fiends among your party. There are also many other fine museums archiving this period and many ancient and technological museums too. Of course for music fans there's Chopin inspired performances regularly at places such as the Warsaw Philharmonic.
