Impressive. Similar to other unknown soldier tombs, but as always it made me think of all the young lives lost in war.

There is a torch burning there permanently. The place is protected by 2 soldiers permanently and undisturbed. It is in the first park of Warsaw. The square is huge and when Pope Jean Paul II died, all the Poles met themselves there with candles and flowers.

We're no Polish or Jew but when we read about what happened in this place, we can't help but feel bad/sad.

Beautiful garden behind the tomb where you can walk and sit until the changing of the guard. It is an impressive tomb even including a plaque to the Warsaw ghetto uprising.

This monument is a very fitting tribute to the thousands who have lost their lives in war. Constantly under military guard and set in the stunning Ogród Saski, the tomb is housed in what remains of one of Warsaw's Saxon Palace and is a truly beautiful memorial.

Please don't miss it. Like the American Tomb of the Unknown Soldier it says more about the Poles and their love of country and their history that one should know. Don't forget your camera!

It's a must to visit. Beautiful gardens surround the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. So very peaceful. The changing of the guards is enjoyable to see.

This is a rather plain and simple monument with a rather strict atmosphere and no plaques with explanations whatsoever. It is located just next to the Saxon gardens. Worths a look if you are nearby.

Had the opportunity of seing the change of guards, a very interesting moment. A place to visit and reflect. Two soldiers are present all the time.

Brilliant atmosphere here. Respectful and quiet. Overlooking a massive square with fountains and trees behind. The fire is always burning. Moving and interesting. During the night it is lit up and during the day you can see the remnants of the massive building their used to be. Definately visit if only to pay your respects.
