Warsaw has been Poland's capital for the past four centuries, and is the largest city in the country. This lively metropolis is the administrative, business and cultural center of Poland. It is here that the diplomatic missions of other states can be found alongside the seats of political, professional, civic and religious organizations. Learn more about Warsaw.
