Private Jet to Warsaw
Warsaw has earned its place among Europe’s capitals, for two reasons. The first, it was the home of the Polish kings and the place of a royal court that rivalled anything east of Paris: palaces, gardens and a taste for culture that attracted composers and diplomats from all over the continent. The second, it is a city which conceived and executed a reconstruction of itself which was not only miraculous but was almost completely from scratch, and second only to Berlin in terms of its growth as a financial and diplomatic center of Europe. Few capitals can truly boast of a “real” royal past and a “real” growth story; it’s that mix of old royalty and modern currency that makes Warsaw interesting in the eyes of the elite traveller.
What is unusual about Warsaw, however, is the fact that a large part of its heritage is within an easy strolling distance from the city centre. At the first end of the Royal Route, that stretches from the Royal Castle towards the painstakingly reconstructed Old Town, lies the modern setting for the Presidential Palace, while on the second end there is an eighteenth-century idyll in the form of Royal Łazienki Park. Just a short distance away is the Grand Theatre, a house of the Polish National Opera and Ballet (PNDB) since 1833, and Wilanów Palace, the summer residence of the Polish King Jan III Sobieski, which ends the road entirely. With the proper introduction, one can get from an opera box to a royal garden and into a boardroom within one afternoon, the kind of day Warsaw is built for.
If you’ve been greeted by private air travel, the tone has been set before your wheels have hit the ground. The most important airport in the country is Chopin Airport in Warsaw, which has a separate terminal, only just over 8km from the city centre, thus making the transfer into the city a matter of minutes. No commercial terminal to navigate, no queue to be on, no reason to observe anything on or at the airport other than the aircraft on the ramp and cars awaiting. If privacy is a priority for you, the Warsaw Modlin Airport is a quiet alternative further north away from the commercial plane traffic.
Challenge Jet Charter also offers the Warsaw service from London, Geneva, Zurich, Dubai or any place in Europe and the Gulf, and has the ground infrastructure to make it worth the trip. We book landing slots and FBO coordination at both airports as well as private transport to the city. The difference between visiting Warsaw and enjoying Warsaw is (as always) the quality of the team making the arrangements.
Things To Do in Warsaw
Culture & Experiences
Since 1833, the Grand Theatre (locally, Teatr Wielki) has been the hub of Polish opera and ballet, with the theatre’s Moniuszko Auditorium, which has a capacity for nearly two thousand, still one of the largest stages in Europe. The theatre closed during the Second World War and was almost completely destroyed; in 1965 it was reconstructed and is now used for the Polish National Opera and Polish National Ballet, which during the season invite international soloists and conductors; it is possible to rent the private boxes if a client prefers to enjoy his/her culture without the crowds. Only a moment away from the Royal Route, you will find another list – eighteenth-century gardens associated with the summer royal residence of the Palace on the Isle in Royal Łazienki Park, where free Chopin concerts are held on sundays in the summer.
Wilanów Palace, whose name is connected to the rescue of the city from the Ottoman Empire in the decisive battle of Vienna in 1683, provides insight into the royal existence of the Polish monarchs, outside the city centre, built for King Jan III Sobieski at the end of the seventeenth century, the palace features formal gardens and a collection of pictures worth visiting by liberalizing an afternoon. Private tours of the Old Town for clients interested in the twentieth century and not the seventeenth will tell one of the more remarkable reconstruction stories in Europe, but one is best read about while standing in the middle of the market square.
Wine and dine
Nestled amongst Łazienki Park, Atelier Amaro was the first to receive a Michelin star in Poland and Chef Wojciech Modest Amaro’s tasting menus, which focus entirely on Polish ingredients and old recipes reinvigorated with a modern twist, continue to be a serious selling point for what this country’s cuisine can achieve. Rather than sticking with the more familiar red and white wines, both restaurants have a Polish vodka and tincture list to complement the equally ambitious course of eating. Nolita, in the city centre serves a similar tasting menu in a less formal, more relaxed atmosphere. For a more upscale dining experience, the Park Restaurant and Long Bar at Raffles Europejski Warsaw prepare food on the same seasonal principle, and offer the added weight of Raffles’ history on each plate.
A wine estate afternoon in Poland, it is an exceptional experience. Warsaw’s craft vodka provides individualized vodka tasting sessions that lead you through the history of an export beverage, whose international reputation often underestimates the actual taste in the glass. In terms of scenery, Concept13 on the Vitkac department store is located five storeys above the city, and as well as its modern Polish cuisine, it offers a truly breathtaking view over Warsaw’s city centre, ideal for a day with meetings and an evening performance at the opera.
Shopping & Wellness
Vitkac, situated in the middle of the city, is the largest luxury department store in Central Europe, offering the complete line of major houses but also houses that are not available anywhere in the region, which people flocking there seem to take pride in. The international designers are joined by an ever-increasing number of Polish ones, most notably the Mokotowska, while amber, fossilised Baltic resin, which Polish artisans have used in jewelry for centuries, is still carefully dealt out by a few specific galleries.

Places To Stay In Warsaw
Raffles Europejski Warsaw
As one of the best hotel buildings in Central Europe, Raffles Europejski Warsaw opened its doors in a hotel building that was built in 1857. Several hundred works of art by Polish artists are dispersed throughout the public area, offering a sense of royalty which is rarely achieved at grand hotels. With 24-hour butler service ticking off all the details in between, Raffles Spa, the Long Bar, the Europejski Grill as well as the century-old Lourse Warszawa patisserie complete a property tailored to travelers who do not want to compromise between their culture and comfort.
Warsaw Hotel Bristol
Directly opposite the Royal Route from Raffles is Hotel Bristol, the city’s other grand lady and, for many who have been staying at both the Royal and Bristol for years, its more classically minded sister hotel. Designed for the concert pianist Ignacy Paderewski, who went on to become prime minister, the hotel’s nineteenth-century interiors, its antiques and the Polish paintings that decorate its rooms have been maintained mostly intact, with rooms opened up to the Royal Route and the Old Town beyond. The choice between the two is, to a greater extent than anything else, a matter of temperament: visitors who are interested in retaining that grand-hotel vibe, but not wanting the modern reinterpretation, go for Bristol, not its neighbour.
Nobu Hotel Warsaw
Developed in the space of the former Art Deco monastery hotel Rialto, Nobu Hotel Warsaw features a new third wing designed with Nobu’s Californian architects, while retaining some of the original 1920s suites in the Rialto. The outcome is a Japanese-influenced design aesthetic combined with a hundred-year-old hotel in Warsaw and located just a couple of minutes away from Chopin Airport’s rail connection and the business centre of the city makes it a natural choice for those who have business to attend and the Old Town to visit.
