Warsaw, Poland
Upscale southern district with a Baroque palace and gardens. Very safe but far from central Warsaw. Better as a day trip than a place to stay.
At the southern end of Warsaw, dominated by a Baroque palace sometimes called the Polish Versailles. The palace and 45 hectares of gardens attract tourists - about 3 million visitors a year - but the residential areas around it are quiet. Wealthy neighborhood with good security and well-maintained streets. Very safe. Limited hotels and restaurants. Takes about 30 minutes by bus from central Warsaw, or you need to drive. Less English in local shops. Works as a daytime trip - see the palace and gardens, then head back to the center for evening. If staying long-term and wanting a quiet base with running paths, it's an option, but you're far from the social scene.
