Warsaw is the capital and largest city of Poland in Central Europe. It is located on the Vistula River, roughly 370 km from the Baltic Sea coast and the Carpathian Mountains. Warsaw’s population is estimated at about 1.7 million inhabitants. Our cameras are installed on top of the highest building in Warsaw and thus overlooking the whole city centre with the Palace of Culture, Warsaw’s beautiful Old Town, the Opera House and the Vistula River. Also, we will be able to witness the building process of the stadium which will be erected especially for the UEFA European Football Championship in 2012. Among the sights of Warsaw are the old town (UNESCO world heritage), the royal castle and a lot of palaces all over the city.
