OPIS
Cocktails in a secret cellar, food stalls in a disused train station, ramen in a donut shop, parties in a former hospital, avant-garde posters, a rooftop park… Get lost in the city that keeps rising
The sleeping giant is awakening. After suffering the worst of the 20th century, Warsaw’s rebuilt patchwork is now thrumming with energy. Its beauty might be unconventional, but the Polish capital’s riches lie elsewhere. Interactive museums and fresh art tackle the past with sensitivity. Sweeping parks and a regenerated river bank are alive with cultural festivals and music. And the dining scene is exploding, as chefs reinterpret traditional cuisine. The booming capital of Eastern resurgence is standing at the sweet spot of development—meaning there’s no better time to discover Warsaw’s charm.
