Palace of Culture and Science
The Palace of Culture and Science is the tallest historical monument in Poland. The building has 44 floors, and on the 30th floor, visitors can find an observation terrace located 114 meters above ground level, which offers a panoramic view of Warsaw. PKiN is also called Peking, as the word PKiN sounds quite similar to Beijing in Polish. Wł adysł aw Bronewski, a famous Polish poet and soldier, once called PKiN "The Nightmare of a Drunken Confectioner". It was built in three years under the direction of Soviet architect Lev Rudnev and put into operation in 1955.→

This high-rise building was built in the 50s of the 20th century according to the project of Lev Rudnev and was conceived as a gift to Poland from the Soviet people (Joseph Stalin is called the author of the idea). In form, the palace repeats similar buildings in Moscow. The observation deck of the palace is located on the 30th floor, at a height of 114 m, where two high-speed elevators call. Cost - PLN 20 (for a group of 10 people - PLN 12). Address: plac Defilad 1 Subjectively, the view from above did not cause much enthusiasm, because only the panorama of modern and urban Warsaw is clearly visible.→
