Warsaw
The only synagogue in Warsaw to survive WWII was built between 1898 and 1902 in neo-Romanesque style. Its handsomely restored interior features grand metal chandeliers and tall vaulted colonnades. Men should cover their heads on entering.
If you wish to attend a Saturday or holiday festival service here, it's necessary to contact the synagogue in advance.
