Hi there!
I had a good trip in Poznan and Wroclaw.
Gdansk during the season is crowded. Same in Krakow (even more)
Katowice is okay for a day trip.

Warsaw's great, but it's mostly offices and tall, glass buildings. Grab a http://www.polskibus.com/en/index.htm and go somewhere else.

Warsaw Uprising Museum is pretty cool, very interactive, just be sure to get a guide, visiting it on your own can be confusing for a foreigner, since you probably don't know the history behind uprising.
Another great interactive 'museum' is Copernicus Science Center, very fun, a lot of things to do, and even though it's about science, so pretty boring stuff for most people, they managed to do it in a fun and engaging way. You shouldn't miss it. Just don't go on weekends, since it's overly crowded even during the working days. They also have a planetarium in there.
Climb the roof of Warsaw University's Library, there's a beautiful garden there and a great view.
In the city center you can find Invisible Exhibition, the whole exhibition is taking place in a total darkness, it's a lot of fun.
You can also visit National Football Stadium. Along the river are nice boulevars with pubs and restaurants, there's a beach and it's a great place to chill out on the evenings. Additionally, during summers you can visit dancing fountains near the Old Town.
How many days are you going to stay there? You don't need much time to see all that is worth seeing there. Try visiting Wroclaw, Gdansk, Krakow or Masuria region with lots of beautiful lakes.

Download the free In Your Pocket guide to Warsaw. Mods should put this on the sticky as its a great cite for central and eastern Europe and would go some way to getting rid of the cancer that is
>In [touristy Central/East European city] wot do?

The remains of the Warsaw ghetto wall are worth the visit if you can find them. Gives you a sense of the scale of it. I'd recommend seeing them all if you can and I do really mean "if" you can find them, spend over a hour just trying to track down this part in between the apartments.

Why does it still exist? I would have thought that the Germans would have torn it down?
Zakopane for some awesome hiking/site seeing if you're into that. Also great way to experience the "highlander" culture of Poland, though its a little gimmicky at times.

I didn't like Warsaw that much but Wilanow gardens are pretty amazing. Definetly worth the trip.
Eat as much local food as possible. Polish food is incredibly good and cheap
