Warsaw rewards a bit of structure — it is larger and more spread out than many European capitals, so a loose plan built around the Royal Route and one or two anchor sights per day works better than trying to wing it. Every itinerary below shares the same backbone (Old Town first, then the Royal Route south, then whatever fits) and adjusts pace and detours for the time and travel style you have.
