Poland

Warsaw, the capital of Poland, was founded in the 13th century on the both banks of the Vistula River, which divides Warsaw into 2 parts. You can find the influences of Western and Eastern Europe there. There are many firms, banks, theatres and cinemas on the west bank of the river. The eastern part of the city is poorer. Warsaw is a place full of life and has its own distinctive atmosphere. However, the city has a sad history. During the war the city was destroyed and then rebuilt. The current capital Warsaw is full of life, shopping malls and skyscrapers. The dominant of the city is the huge Palace of Culture and Science.
