    • You can start at Zamkowy Square near Royal Castle and walk South...
    • Krakowskie Przedmieście (Krakow suburb street) visiting churches (of Saint Anna, of Saint Joseph, of Wizytki Sisters, of Saint Cross), passing President's Palace, entering campus of Warsaw University, and eventually visiting souvenir shops.
      • Visit plac Piłsudzkiego (5 minutes walk from Krakowskie Przedmieście) and nearby: Tomb of Unknown Soldier, Saski Garden, Metropolitan building and National Opera.
    • Or take a bus (eg. 180) to Plac na Rozdrożu (Crossroads square, street name changed to Ujazdowskie avenue already)...
    • You can walk the nice Ujazdowski Park, Botanical garden, visit Museum of Contemporary Art Museum, or take a long walk in Łazienki Gardens and visit its numerous monuments.
    • If you want to see the former President's Palace Belweder, just continue walking along Łazienki Gardens fence (usually some photo exhibition hanging on it). Ujazdowskie avenue will change into Belwederska street, and at the beginning of Vistula slope there will be Belweder.
    • Otherwise you can get back to the bus (180) to get into Wilanów. But this may be already too much for one day...
    • Walking distances: Zamkowy Square to Warsaw University (Świętokrzyska) (whole Krakowskie Przedmieście) — 10-15 (20) minutes, Warsaw University to Charles de Gaulle round (whole Nowy Świat) — 15-20 minutes, Charles de Gaulle round by plac Trzech Krzyży to Sejm — 10-15 minutes, Charles de Gaulle round to Plac Na Rozdrożu — 25-40 minutes (better take bus), Plac Na Rozdrożu to Łazienki — 5-10 minutes and 5 more to Belweder. By 180 bus: Zamkowy Square to Plac Na Rozdrożu — 10 minutes, to Wilanów — 35 minutes. Walking from Charles de Gaulle round (with Jerozolimskie street) to Metro Centrum will take you 10-15 minutes, another 5-10 to Central Railway station. You can take a tram (any) or bus instead.
