Where to stay in Warsaw

Right in the heart of Warsaw, Śródmieście can be a great place to stay. This area has a range of museums, art galleries, shops, and restaurants, and is home to the main attractions of Warsaw, including the Palace of Culture and Science and Ujazdowski Park. Two of its neighbourhoods are popular choices with tourists looking for somewhere to stay.

The first one Stare Miasto (Old Town), which is known for its colourful tenement houses and narrow streets. Here you can visit the Old Town Market Square (Rynek Starego Miasta) which has a range of restaurants and cafes offering Polish delicacies. You can also climb 150 steps up the Old Town observation tower for incredible views. Śródmieście also has the Central Railway Station, making it convenient and accessible.

The second neighbourhood is Powiśle, a hub of nightlife, culture and gastronomy. Visit Elektrownia Powiśle, a former power plant turned popular hangout with hip bars, restaurants and clubs, as well as dancing light fountains in the evening. During the day, Powiśle is a great place to relax on the famous Vistula Boulevards or take a cruise along the river.

Opposite the river from the Śródmieście district is Praga, the coolest part of Warsaw. Praga is a great place to see an alternative side of Warsaw. You can see street art murals, visit the Polish Vodka Museum, and tour locations used in Oscar-winning film The Pianist.

What to see and do in Warsaw

  • Royal Route
    While you’re in Warsaw, take some time to enjoy the impressive gardens and palaces of former Polish rulers. Linking the city’s three Royal residences, the Royal Route starts on Plac Zamkowy at the Royal Castle, a loving copy of the original, which was destroyed in World War II. The route continues through to the stunning, 74-hectare Łazienki Park, which houses the iconic Palace on the Island. At the end of the Royal Route is Wilanów Palace, a lavish 17th-century building, often referred to as ‘Polish Versailles’.
  • Palace of Culture and Science
    At 231 metres high, the Palace of Culture and Science dominates the skyline and is the second tallest building in Poland. Finished in 1955, it houses theatres, museums, cinemas, bars, coffee shops and more! You can take a tour of this impressive building, or head up to the 30th floor for panoramic views of the city from a height of 114 metres.
  • Vistula Boulevards
    Running through Warsaw is the Vistula river. With a Natura 2000 area — a habitat for breeding birds threatened with extinction — on the right side and the riverside promenade Vistula Boulevards on the left, there is so much to enjoy in this area! Vistula Boulevards are excellent for a walk, cycle or rest on the mini beach. You can also see the monument ‘The Mermaid’, the symbol of Warsaw.

    An important part of Polish history, the Warsaw Rising museum is on the edge of the former ghetto and is dedicated to the Warsaw Rising of 1944.
