ABOUT THE CITY
Warsaw is the capital and the largest city of Poland. The metropolis stands on the banks of the Vistula River in east-central Poland and its population is officially estimated at 1.8 million residents within a greater metropolitan area of 3.1 million residents, which makes Warsaw the 7th most-populous capital city in the European Union.
The city rose to prominence in the late 16th century, when Sigismund III decided to move the Polish capital and his royal court from Kraków to Warsaw. Prior to the Second World War, the elegant architecture, grandeur and extensive boulevards earned Warsaw the nickname Paris of the North. Bombed at the start of the German invasion in 1939, the city withstood a siege, but was largely destroyed by the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943, the Warsaw Rising of 1944 and the systematic razing by the Germans in advance of the Vistula–Oder Offensive. Because of its complete reconstruction after the war, which had left over 85% of its buildings in ruins, Warsaw gained a new title of the Phoenix City.
