Praga district. Full of "old Warsaw" climate and interesting places (such as clubs). It is also called a "bohema" of Warsaw :)

In my opinion in the first place you should see The Warsaw Rising Museum and The Center for Contemporary Art in Ujazdowski Castle. Jewish Cemetery (Warsaw, district Wola) is a very interesting place. You should definitely take a walk and try to find short sections of Warsaw Ghetto Wall. After all you can go to Freta Street in the old town where are plenty of nice restaurants and cafes. Have a nice trip! These are Web sites of the places I mentioned. http://www.1944.pl/index.php?lang=en http://www.csw.art.pl/ http://www.kirkuty.xip.pl/warszawa.html http://www.scrapbookpages.com/Poland/WarsawGhetto/WarsawGhetto05.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_New_Town#Freta_Street

Grab a map, grab a bike and just see where it takes you. obviosuly get off the standard busy streets. and visit one of the cheap 'milk bars' for a real communist experience

1. The Palace in Wilanow and park behind 2. The Culture and Science Palace 3. The King Castle 4. The Old City 5. The "Łazienkowski" Park 6. The ZOO 7. The Garden on University of Warsaw Library 8. New World street 9. Krarkowskie Przedmieście street 10. Praga district

don't really bother about the touristy stuff! have a vert, very quick look around the Old Town, Lazienki park and maybe Wilanow if you must, but the best is where the "natives" go + the Warsaw Uprising Museum. so, check out Praga, take a walk around the southern zone of the center, and do try the little bars behind Nowy Swiat street (any hostel employee will tell you how to get there).

Definitely you should see The Museum of the Warsaw Uprising, the Old Town and The Baths Park is also a nice place to take a walk.

go to wroclaw!

Must see old Jewish district in center of Warsaw (Próżna / Twarda streets, Grzybowski square), Etnografic Museum (Kredytowa str) and Poster Museum (Wilanów). I recommend caffee shops "Szczotki pędzle" (Tamka str) and "Pochwała niekonsekwencji" (Grójecka str).

Praga (like Zabkowska str), milk bars (they are called Bar Mleczny, and a park by Cytadela Warszwska...

Warsaw is very interesting, and i mean general tourist routes too. I think Old City is nice for a walk, but only by late-evening/night time. Too much tourist-pulp on your way by day-time. It was completely rebuild after WWII, becouse Germans buried Warsaw to the ground when they were withdrawing. Powązki cementary is a good place for a walk too - it is very beautifull - it is a place where a famous, noble and great people are buried. And there is something about Parks - all of them are somehow "wild" - there are no fences, you could sit on lawns, and nobody would bother you (ok - in most of the parks). If you want to go to the club you should check 'Powiększenie', 'Plan B' or 'Obiekt Znaleziony' - those places are for people who like alternative music (sometime very alt - like noise, free jazz etc). if you like theatres you should check Narodowy Theater, Teatr Dramatyczny (in Palace of Culture) or TR (very modern) - there are the best dramas... You should also Muranów cinema - it is well known cinema in Europe, which plays not only blockbusters... Some of our cafee houses are very interesting - Czuły Barbarzyńca, numery Litery, Kawka or Tarabuk. skipping to architecture - you must see Warsaw University Library. It has a beautiful garden on the roof, and quite smart and nice inside. But the best way to sightsee Warsaw is to just get into random tram and go...

The museum of the second World War.

If you have the time you can go to Kazimierz Dolny its a very nice little art town! I founded Warsaw not such an intresting town. In Poland Krakov, Wroclow ore Lublin aree mutch nicer.

Zelazowa Wola ( place where Frederic Chopin lived and composed)soem 50km from warsaw by bys , as well as Lazienki park and Wilanow ( park and palace) both located in warsaw.
