Warsaw, Poland
Holy Cross Church stands on Krakowskie Przedmiescie, the royal route through central Warsaw, opposite the main gate of the university and a short walk from the old town, and it is free to enter. Walking tours along the royal route almost always stop here, because the church holds one of the city's most famous relics of national memory: the heart of Frederic Chopin. Tours devoted to Chopin combine the church with the museum dedicated to him a few streets away, the salon where he lived as a young man and, outside the city, his birthplace at Zelazowa Wola.

Its bell tower, however, is ticketed and has a viewing terrace that gives one of the best views in Warsaw over Castle Square, the Old Town rooftops, the Vistula river and the Praga district across the water; it is especially popular at sunset.
