Chopin concerts | Discover Chopin through music and history

Warsaw is closely tied to Frédéric Chopin, and there are several ways to explore that connection during your visit. Spend an evening listening to his piano works in the Old Town at the Pleyel Salon, or choose a recital inside the Royal Castle Complex, where the concert is paired with a photography exhibition and Polish refreshments.

If you want to take your interest in Chopin beyond the concert hall, a private half-day trip to Żelazowa Wola takes you to his birthplace, museum and other places connected with his early life. Whether you have an evening to spare or want to dedicate half a day to Chopin, these experiences let you explore different sides of his connection with Warsaw and Poland.
