You can visit The Noyzyk Shul:
•    from Monday to Friday at: 9.00 AM – 7.00 PM,
•    Sunday at 11.00 AM – 7.00 PM.
The cost of admission is 10 PLN.

Kevarim
Jewish cemetery near the Old Powazki. Established in 1809, it is one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in the world. Spread over an area of nearly 44,000 square feet (3160 square meters), the cemetery was left largely intact by the Nazis and includes the graves and tombs of a quarter of a million people, including the great Rabbanim of Warsaw as well as many secular giants in literature and the arts.

The Jewish Ghetto
The infamous Warsaw Ghetto, the scene of the only organized uprising.
On the left side of the Praga River, where the Ghetto used to be, you can visit several monuments commemorating the Jews of Warsaw, including the Monument over the Ghetto Heroes at Zamenhof Square, and Umschlagplatz, a memorial raised at the very spot where Warsaw Jews were gathered in 1943, loaded on cattle wagons and transported to the death camp at Treblinka. It is still possible to see how Jews lived in Warsaw ulica Prozna, a street left largely intact from before the Holocaust.

Hotels:
WARSAW:
Intercontinental - 5 min walk from the Noyzyk Shul

Andrze Jjlowka email glowka.trans@wp.pl  0048-602223205 Used him a few years back, and was quite helpful. Chabad of Poland was great for anything that I needed. Food, minyanim, and whatever you need

you go to tourist information, and buy a Jewish map from Warsaw.
See the Warsaw ghetto remains, the cemetery, etc.
The cemetery is a bit out, but all in walking distance from another.

Take a taxi at the airport, but a lot of swindlers, who seem helpful, will rip you off.

As at the little info booth (by the arrivals), what the price is, and deduct 20%.

Bargain down. If the guy gets a heart attack, you just bargain by the next guy and so on.

(If I sound mean, you might need to refreshen your memory a bit. yimach shemom vezichrom milehazkirom !)

 To each their own, as I said Id prefer to checkout a city I was never in and dont know when I will be back there , then to sit and eat

 keep in mind its not really 10 hrs. Its 10hrs probably from touch down to when the flight is to leave the Gate. Deduct the time youd need to get thru C&I and get into the City , the travel time back to WAW and to go thru Security, and usually its a good idea to have at least an hour before the flight departs and you went thru security. = alot less then 10 hrs free to roam, but still enough that it pays to get out of the Airport

understood ,

from what i here the airport is central and not far from chabad ,

i dont know how to begin to arrange a tour guide from here,

i thought my best bet would be to go to chabad and speak to them about having someone take me to the cemeterys.

there are over 600,000 jews buried in warsaw.

which prominant rabonim are buried in warsaw ??

We're not here to spoon feed you everything.
Go to google maps and see how far the airport is from the address on the chabad site!
And I gave you a link for the cemeteries already.
