The Sejm of the Republic of Poland is the country’s parliament, at Wiejska 4/6/8 in Warsaw. A guided visit can take you inside its large, round debating chamber, built in the 1920s after Poland regained independence. Look for the cross above one entrance used by delegates and hear about the parliament’s on-site honey harvest, a tradition linked to the idea of passing “sweet” laws.
