Warsaw In Your Pocket no.106

Ahhh, sunny Warsaw! Welcome to the summer edition of Warsaw In Your Pocket! This is definitely our favourite time of year in the city, for it is now half the city’s population disappears and hangs around by the river, riding bikes, lounging around on the boulevard steps, in deck chairs in the many bars, beaches and other riverfront hangouts. It’s also a fantastic time to walk around the city, taking in the sights, and especially for you, we suggest seeing some of Warsaw’s fantastic street art – read more in our feature on p.8. There’s more to the city in summer than just the riverfront, as the city’s cafe culture, foodie scene and nightlife is in full swing, all listed in these very pages. Of particular note is the fantastic Night Market (p.79), where food and culture mix, and other outdoor seasonal places to enjoy (p.114)! This is the city that is vibrant in every sense of the word, offering you sightseeing in the bucketload, from fun-filled activities to some serious history lessons in the many museums, and the events calendar too is full to the brim (check out our ‘Whats On’ section, p.20). As always, let us know how you got on in Warsaw on our FB page and/or show us what you’ve seen during your time in the city by using the hashtag #warsawinyourpocket on social media, or if you prefer, just use good old-fashioned email: poland@inyourpocket.com.
