Things To Do
Nocny Market
Translates to "Night Market." Nocny Market is the largest street food market in Poland, situated on the platform of the former Main Railway Station in Warsaw. If you are a night owl and are not afraid to eat late, then this is the place for you. The old Warsaw Central Train Station has gained a new life thanks to the gathering of food lovers organised here every Saturday and Sunday. This is where you will get the best street food in town, with a wealth of tastes – from traditional to oriental.
Hala Koszyki
A a historic market and food hall located in south-central Warsaw, Poland. Initially opened in 1909, it has been since redeveloped into a Bustling, renovated market hall for trendy restaurants & boutiques, street food & cultural events.
Hala Gwardii
A more toned-down version of Hala Koszyki, Hala Gwardii is a renovated market hall with vendors selling produce & ingredients, plus a gourmet food court area.
Kebab King
Whether you're as sober as a Polish priest or had one too many vodka shots, you need to try a kebab from the notorious King. There's various locations all over the city. And don't try and get fancy with ordering, either. Just get the XXL chicken wrap with mixed sauce.
Jeff's
Homesick? Come to Jeff's and you'll feel right at home. Burgers, steaks & Tex-Mex favorites in a family-friendly American diner with a smokehouse. Also amazing for breakfast or brunch! Has three locations in the city, including one inside Hala Koszyki.
U Szwejka
We're not sure why this place is so popular, but alas, it is. Three-floor restaurant with rustic decor inside and an outdoor terrace for traditional Czech (and Polish) food and beer.
Zapiecek
Zapiecek has a few locations around central Warsaw and Old Town and is a casual, affordable, and very tourist-friendly restaurant suitable for lunch or dinner. A great way to dip your toes into Poland and its cuisine.
Vistula Boulevards
Lively waterside walkway popular for cycling and jogging, with bars on boats, terrace cafes and summer beaches. Rent a bike from Veturilo (warsawtour.pl/en/veturilo) and bike the path while stopping for seriously delicious international foods and drinks. A great option after Old Town - but only if you have the energy for it!
Casino at the Warsaw Marriott Hotel
Fancy yourself some gambling? Check out the 4,000 square feet gaming floor, featuring 15 gaming tables and 20 slot machines, two VIP rooms as well as a bar and lounge area. The casino is now offering a total of 35 gaming tables and 70 slot machines on a total gaming floor of approximately 12,000 square feet.
POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews
POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews is a museum on the site of the former Warsaw Ghetto. The Hebrew word Polin in the museum's English name means either "Poland" or "rest here" and relates to a legend about the arrival of the first Jews to Poland.
Warsaw Uprising Museum
The Warsaw Rising Museum was opened on the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of fighting in Warsaw. The Museum is a tribute of Warsaw’s residents to those who fought and died for independent Poland and its free capital.
The National Museum in Warsaw
The National Museum in Warsaw was originally founded in 1862 as the Museum of Fine Arts and is currently one of the oldest art museums in the country.
Old Town
Warsaw’s Old Town is the jewel in the Polish capital’s crown. It delights visitors with its colorful tenement houses and the unique atmosphere of its narrow streets. It is no wonder that it has been entered on the UNESCO World Heritage list! Be sure to visit the Royal Castle.
Royal Route
Warsaw’s famed "Royal Route" links the city’s three Royal residences, starting from the Royal Castle on Plac Zamkowy, via Łazienki Park’s Palace on the Island, en route to Wilanów Palace in the district of the same name. Covering nearly seven miles in length, this main artery through the city takes in a great range of Warsaw's historic buildings, parks, churches and monuments, making a trek down the ‘path of the Kings’ a 'must-do' part of any visit to the city.
