Great way to spend an hour in Warsaw - Fantastic guide, fun explanation of the palace, Polish culture and useful walk-through of the rooms. The viewing terrace was on the 30th floor and the elevators were fast.

Gift from Stalin - The first thing that left us open-mouthed was the imposing Palace of Culture and Science, a Soviet giant that Stalin “gave” to Warsaw... the gift is in quotes, of course. The taxi driver even gestured the quotation marks with his fingers as he joked. Today, the building has cinemas, restaurants and a new life that seems to say, “since they snapped it up, let’s at least take advantage of it.”

Well worth visiting. - We did just the viewing terrace. Got our tickets at the self service machines which turned out a lot quicker than then ticket kiosk. Make your way round to the lifts and wait. Depending on how many people are in the queue depends on how quick you get up to the terrace? Once there, you get some cracking views across the city. You can take as long or short time as you want?
