Praga Poludnie
3 miles from downtown
What a difference a few years make. Perched across the river, the edgy Praga district has long been uncharted territory for many left-bank Varsovians. Not anymore. Creative hubs and outré bars around Mińska Street make it Warsaw’s hottest ticket. Head to the “beach” for beer and bonfires, then grind till sunrise at Temat Rzeka Nightclub.

Wola
1.3 miles from downtown
Wola has been through a lot. Dour apartment blocks and office buildings paper over the cracks. Yet beneath your feet, remnants of old ghetto walls hint at a traumatic past. Learn about Warsaw’s resurrection after WWII at the powerful Warsaw Uprising Museum, or taste history with a communist-themed lunch at Under the Red Hog restaurant.
Places to stay from $6 a night
Ursynow
5.7 miles from downtown
Oddly enough, Ursynów is known as ‘Warsaw’s bedroom’. This residential area par excellence is crammed with modern housing, where young professionals hit the hay after a day behind their desks. At weekends joggers and pram-pushers descend on Kabaty Forest, and chaps in flat caps bet on horses at the Służewiec Racetrack.
Places to stay from $24 a night
Bielany
4.5 miles from downtown
Bielany is one of Warsaw’s greenest districts. Most of the apartment blocks and pre-war semis are camouflaged behind foliage, and Las Bielański Park offers an escape from city clamour. Pack your picnic hamper and head to Las Młociński for an al fresco feast, or sample monastic life at the 17th-century hermitage hidden in the greenery.
Places to stay from $17 a night
Ochota
1.8 miles from downtown
Ochota’s residents are usually in a hurry. During the week, most scurry towards the city centre to work, which makes the weekend the best time to join Ochota’s perpetual motion. Zoom around the go-kart track in Blue City Mall, watch out for whizzing frisbees in Szczęśliwicki Park, or take to the luge and dry ski slope for some downhill fun.

Praga Pólnoc
2.2 miles from downtown
Is Warsaw the new Berlin? Creative types are breathing new life into Praga Północ, with vibrant art spaces sprouting up ten a penny in the factories and crumbling warehouses. See the industrial-inspired sculptures in the old Koneser vodka distillery, or wander down Ząbkowska Street – an area that teems with offbeat watering holes.
Places to stay from $7 a night
Warsaw's history is told though its architecture, from its restored Gothic structures to steel high-rises and everything in between. The Royal Castle served as the monarchy's residence for about 300 years before it was totally destroyed in WW2. Then, there's the Palace of Culture and Science, which dates back to the Soviet era, remains Poland's tallest structure, and now houses theaters, bars, museums, and an observation deck on the 30th floor.
The city's complex story unfolds even further in all of its great museums. The Warsaw Rising Museum covers the history of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 through interactive displays, photographs, and film archives.
Though there's history down every street, Warsaw is as modern as any other European capital, full of gorgeous green spaces like Lazienki Park, as well as a variety of Polish and fushion restaurants, cozy bars, and galleries in the beautifully restored old town. Take a guided tour of Old Praga to discover the city's besk kept secrets. Then, when night falls, head over to Mazowiecka Street to experience the best of Warsaw’s vibrant nightlife.

Warsaw is an interesting city to visit with many parks and museums worth seeing. It is not a beautiful city with a rather haphazard mi of old and new architecture. Not surprising with its history and destruction carried out during the 2nd World War. The buses and trams are plentiful and easy to use. I would recommend using the 'Milk Bars' which are plentiful and used by locals for the cheaper, nutritious meals.
We were very pleasantly surprised with Warsaw.

We were very pleasantly surprised with Warsaw. Expected a bit of "gray, soviet". Turned out to be open, airy, great cycling routes and easy transport, very clean everywhere, great food, lively streets with restaurants and cafés, good shopping, lovely parks. We loved it.
