Warsaw stands on the Vistula River in east-central Poland and the 8th most-populous capital city in the European Union. It is a major international tourist destination, and a significant cultural, political and economic hub. Its historical Old Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Warsaw gained the new title of Phoenix City because of its extensive history and complete reconstruction after World War II, which had left over 85% of its buildings in ruins.

The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
