Continuing in an artistic frame of mind, EXpress yourself at the 17-century Ujazdów Castle housing the Centre for Contemporary Art (www.csw.art.pl), Kino. Lab Cinema, and the retro-funky Baumgart Café. The Centre’s swiftly-shifting expositions focus on spotlighting the raw, dynamic changes of Polish and international art in all its forms. If you opt for a more down-to-earth and edifying experience, visit the Warsaw Rising Museum, opened in 2005, dedicated to the heroes of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. Housed in a former power station, the exhibition presents a meticulous documentation of the 63-day combat, a symbol of Polish strength and spirit.
Once you’re ready to EXhale and recuperate, you have a number of spas and wellness centers to choose from. Clarins Institute (www.clarins.pl, Polna Street 3), Dermika Spa & Salon (www.spasalon.pl, Gen. Józefa Zajączka Street 9a), Celebrity Beauty & Spa (www.celebrity.com.pl, Rondo ONZ 1) and Le Spa (www.lespa.pl, Mokotowska Street 55) all encompass a complete spectrum of cosmetic, therapeutic and medical treatments and services, providing both recreation and vitality. A day of proper pampering and you’ll continue on your EXpedition with new-found energy.
