Walk - Ogrod Saski

This walk takes you through the areas surrounding the Saski Gardens. Start at Galeria Zacheta, a nice modern art gallery in a 19th century building, Thursdays are free. Walk across the street to the Saski Garden passing by the tomb of the unknown soldier (in the remaining arcades of the Saski Palace) and wander through the park. Make your way out the southwest exit and walk down Grzybowska where you will see upscale new apartments and restaurants, walk north through them to Hala Mirowska a 19th century market hall, then walk back east along Elektoralna, a calm old-worldy street. Cross Marszalkowska and peek into the courtyard of Senatorska 38 (today the Belgian Embassy). Head north to see the Reduta Bank Polski. Head back towards the National Theater and take a look at Senatorska 16/18, the old Town Hall, completely burned down during the war, paved over in the 50's and rebuilt in the 90's. Pass along the northeast side of the National Theater and check out Foster's Metropolitan office building. Afterwards head down to Krakowskie Przedmiescie and the corner of Ossolinskich for a quick snack at Bistro a la Fourgette.
