Warsaw will never make it onto most-beautiful-city lists. It isn’t even Poland’s most beautiful city, and the predictable tourist will look in vain for big-name sights or a significant old town.
I start off on Krakowskie Przedmiescie, old Warsaw’s main drag. The street runs for kilometres past lovely churches, palaces and university buildings, and forms the heart of the Chopin trail. When Chopin died a superstar in 1849, Russian authorities blocked the return of his body, fearing unrest. Chopin’s sister smuggled his heart home inside a jar of cognac beneath her crinoline.I head to the Church of the Holy Cross, which is a swirl of baroque creaminess and gold. The resting place of Chopin’s heart is marked by a simple plaque flanked by two cupids.
