The Old Town houses Jewish quarters, Warsaw University, many significant cathedrals, the Royal Palace, the President's House, King Sigmund's Column (Zygmunt III Waza in Polish) and one of the 2 custodians of the city - the Mermaid. The square that houses the Mermaid reminded me of the Trevi Fountain in Rome and the square in front of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, as it is packed with roadside cafés offering beer and food, artists offering to paint for you, performers playing concert instruments, tourists gaping in awe, newly-weds excitedly engaged in their portfolio shoots and locals just chilling.
