Warsaw

The Statue of Fryderyk Chopin at Łazienki Royal Park is one of the capital’s most important symbols. Every Sunday from May to September, the site is the venue of extremely popular open-air concerts of Chopin’s music.

According to the Chopin’s wish, his heart was returned to Poland after his death. It was placed in an urn and built into one of the pillars of the Holy Cross Church, where it remains to this day.

Look around while you stroll down the Royal Route. Whenever you pass by a place that is somehow connected with Chopin, there is a multimedia bench that allows you to get to know the composer’s music. These benches were installed on the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birth. All you need to do is press a button to hear one of his compositions.

The Fryderyk Chopin Museum is located in the historic Ostrogski Palace, and is one of the most modern biographical museums in Europe. The exhibits on display include the composer’s grand piano, as well as manuscripts of Chopin’s letters and musical compositions. For the most serious Chopin fans, it's worth taking a day tour that focuses on the key Warsaw sights in the life of the composer. The extended version of the tour includes a 1-hour concert of Chopin’s music.
