Best neighborhoods to stay in Warsaw
Let's start by looking at the different districts of Warsaw. The choice of neighborhood will be important for a pleasant stay in Warsaw. Different neighborhoods, which we will see below, are ideal for sleeping in Warsaw. It's up to you to see if you prefer to opt for a more modern district, close to the shopping centers or on the contrary, for the historic district of the city, more lively and above all close to the places of interest of the city.
The main areas to stay in Warsaw
> Stare Miasto: historic districts of Warsaw
> Powiśle, the presidential district
> District of the Palace of Culture and Science
> Praga, on the other side of the Vistula
> Stare Miasto: the historic district of Warsaw
A must in Warsaw, the Stare Miasto district is undoubtedly the most famous district of the city. This is the historic district of Warsaw, its old town. This district is articulated around its royal castle as well as Rynek Square – the old market square of Warsaw. Stare Miasto is the most touristy area of the city with its many places of interest, its cafes and restaurants and its very beautiful terraces.
Although Stare Miasto is the "old" district of Warsaw, it is actually quite young since it was completely rebuilt (including its castle) after the Second World War.
Nevertheless, its small cobbled streets have a crazy charm and staying in Stare Miasto will be an excellent choice. You can find very good hotels there, such as the Hotel Bellotto, located a few dozen meters from the royal castle.
> Powiśle, the presidential district
Let's continue on the Krakowskie Przedmieście, also called the Royal Way, which connects the historic center of Warsaw with the newer districts. South of the Stare Miasto district is the Powisle district. This district is home to the presidential palace. You will find many restaurants, luxury hotels such as the luxurious Raffles Europejski but also places of interest such as the "Chopin Point Warsaw", a place where it is possible to attend concerts by the illustrious Polish pianist. This district is delimited, to the south, by the magnificent Saxon Garden.
> District of the Palace of Culture and Science
On the other side of the Saxon Garden is a more modern district which also attracts many tourists thanks to its main monument: the Palace of Culture and Science. This district is a very good alternative to the older parts of the city to stay in Warsaw.
Indeed, it revolves around one of the main arteries of the city. Throughout it are buildings with many shopping centers, hotels or parks. This district is crossed by the tram which will allow you to reach, on one side, the Saxon Garden (and therefore the beginning of the old town of Warsaw) and on the other, Lazienki Park, another unmissable place in Warsaw.
This district will allow you to find cheap accommodation in Warsaw.
> Praga, on the other side of the Vistula
Praga is the district located on the other side of the Vistula, facing the old town of Warsaw. This district, spared by the bombings, is the bohemian district of the city. Old buildings with decrepit facades and other disused buildings populate this less touristy area of the city.
Nevertheless, in recent years, this district has changed and tends to attract more tourists. Witness this new Polish national stadium, built in the south of this district on the occasion of Euro 2012.
A district that I invite you to discover, but it is not, for me, ideal to stay in Warsaw.
