Presidential Palace (Palac Namiestnikowski)

This palace was built in the 17th century by the Radziwill family. It functioned as offices for the czarist occupiers in the 19th century. Frederic Chopin performed his first concert here. The Warsaw Pact was signed here in 1955 and it is currently the official residence of Poland's president.

snack time on the Royal Route

We're sitting outside of the Blikle Cafe Nowy Swiat 33. The oldest cake shop in the city, open since 1869, is famous for its doughnuts (paczki) - which we are sampling here as we take a break from our stroll along the Royal Route.
