Fryderyk Chopin is the most famous Varsovian. He spent the first 20 years of his life in the capital of Poland. It was here that he took music classes and at Warsaw salons he gave first concerts and polished his manners. The child prodigy was all over the capital city’s newspapers.
It is no wonder that, as requested by the composer, his heart was laid to rest in this very city, at the Holy Cross church. It is also in Warsaw, at the Fryderyk Chopin Museum that the world’s largest collection of Chopin memorabilia can be found, and all around the city one can find a number of places associated with the composer.
