In the evening, the royal couple hosted a dinner for Poland's presidential couple and a large number of invited Polish guests at the Royal Castle in Warsaw. The castle holds historical significance for the relationship between Sweden and Poland, as it played an important role during the Swedish-Polish union in the late 16th century. King Sigismund made the castle his residence when he moved the capital from Krakow to Warsaw.
