A beautiful city filled with dwarfs and sweaty fit people ... lol the marathon was on while we were there – hence the fit people. The dwarfs on the other hand, we first noticed when we were wandering around and saw a little brass dwarf sitting in chains behind a metal security grill on a random window. After noticing another couple we asked at the tourist info and ended up searching all through the city for them which was a lot of fun :)
Also saw an unbelievable panorama painting that was hundreds of metres long and set up in a round building with 3D objects like trees etc placed in such a way that you could only tell what was real and what was painting if you really searched! Combine that with the clever lighting and it really felt like you were there with the soldiers! It was pretty old but had been carefully preserved even during WWII and the communist era and depicted the Polish fighters defeating the invading Russians – based on an actual battle.
Pic here is of artwork on the street of people dissappearing into the ground - a reflection of life under soviet rule.
