The Palace of Culture and Science (Pa\u0142ac Kultury i Nauki, or PKiN) rises 237 metres over central Warsaw, the second-tallest building in Poland after Varso Tower. It was built between 1952 and 1955 as a gift from the Soviet Union to the Polish people, to a design by the Soviet architect Lev Rudnev in a monumental socialist-realist style, and it was originally named after Joseph Stalin, whose name was later removed. Long a controversial reminder of the communist era, it has been a listed heritage building since 2007 and remains the best-known feature of the city skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was ihn so ber\u00fchmt macht<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today the palace is a cultural and business centre with four theatres, a multiplex cinema, two museums (the Museum of Evolution and the Museum of Technology), a 3,000-seat Congress Hall, a large swimming pool and two universities. The main draw for visitors is the viewing terrace on the 30th floor, 114 metres above the ground, which a lift reaches in 19 seconds. The terrace runs around the tower and gives a panoramic view of the city, and the 30th floor also has the Gothic Hall, a gallery and a caf\u00e9. The four clock faces, each 6.3 metres across, were added for the millennium and started running on 31 December 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anreise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The palace is at Plac Defilad 1 in the centre of the city, a short walk from the Centrum (line M1) and \u015awi\u0119tokrzyska (lines M1 and M2) metro stations, with trams and buses all around. The Warsaw Tourist Information office is in the building, with its entrance from Emilii Plater Street. The viewing terrace is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., except on some public holidays, and costs 30 PLN, or 25 PLN reduced. Tickets are sold at the ticket office and online, no reservations are taken, and the Warsaw Pass gives free admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
