For instance, by the Arthur Rubinstein memorial situated by the house no 78 you can sit next to the famous pianist. In his piano there used to be a hidden mechanism that after placing a coin would play Rubinstein’s famous compositions and also compositions of other musicians such as Chaikovski or Chopin. However, Sony BMG that owns the rights to some compositions, asked for royalties. Therefore, the piano has been silent since then.
When you seek to get out of the center and see modern attractions, visit Poland’s, largest waterpark Fala. It has eight indoor and outdoor pools, toboggans, and also a special pool for children.
