This was our first trip to Poland and we dove into the capital headfirst. While our travels may have started in the charming Old Town, it wasn't long before we discovered that Warsaw has a cool artsy side. We visited bright neon museums in the art district, shopped in boutiques selling soviet-chic apparel, and got to experience the capital's legendary nightlife. It many ways it was a whirlwind visit, but it was also a fun introduction that made us curious to discover more of Poland in our future travels. The following video will highlight 25 things to do in Warsaw and give you a glimpse into this up and coming capital.

25 Things to do in Warsaw, Poland | Top Attractions Tourism Guide Video Transcript:
Well hello and welcome to Warszawa. This week we are exploring the Polish capital. We've already been here a few days and it has been amazing. It has been such a pleasant surprise and unlike any part of Europe we've traveled in so far. So yeah, this week we're going to be highlighting 25 things to do around the city and we're excited to show you what it is all about.
We came to Warsaw with little to no expectations and the city completely surprised us. Our week in the capital was spent sampling Polish cuisine, learning about the city's past through museums and historical tours, and also dabbling in a bit of the nightlife. Warsaw is quickly rising through the ranks and we think it won't be long before travellers are flocking en masse. So if you're planning a trip to Poland, don't skip over the capital because there is more to Warsaw than meets the eye.
This is part of our Travel in Poland series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Polish culture, Polish arts, Polish foods, Polish religion, Polish cuisine and Polish people.
All photos and video taken by Samuel Jeffery (Nomadic Samuel) and Audrey Bergner (That Backpacker).

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Very intelligent and professional approach. Thank You so much.

Greetings!
Thanks Karol! Would love to do that!
I was there one month ago. Warsaw is a really beautiful city, I thoroughly enjoyed the week I spent there. Pierogi is soooo delicious!! 😊
I really enjoyed wandering around the Old Town it was great!! 👍👍
Glad to hear you also enjoyed your time in the city!
it does look a great city.
I was there last year, and I have lot so fun there. It is a vibrant city. I would go there again, if I get the chance.
That is cool to hear. We'd like to go back as well.
Been there this summer, really enjoyed it, lovely city and very friendly people. I Recommend going there in hot seasons.
+SanAndreasAviation Oh, that is cool to hear about your experiences. We'd definitely go back.
Great place to visit!!!
+Geeta Jatkar Thank you! We felt the same way :)
Palace of Culture and Science it is a symbol of enslavement of Poland by the Soviet empire!
Poland is a lovely country with lovely people STOP propaganda!
What propaganda?
i didnt write this to u. I said generally They say that Poland is most racist country in europe. Is not!
I see. Locals were certainly friendly to us.
Too be honest, if Poland had mass immigration, this would change very very quickly.
+Me in HD Poland had massive immigration in 2014! When the war in Ukraine begun. We accepted millions of refugees and geave them home and work. We even built refugee camps! Did you ever heard about racist ataks on Ukrainians in Poland? Shut up child of propaganda.
Thank you so much for the video! This will help me a lot in planning for my trip to Poland at the end of this year. ;) I'll definitely try out the pierogi-making session. It seems like so much fun!
+YummYakitori Thanks! That's awesome to hear you'll be going to Poland soon. Will you be visiting any other places as well?
+Samuel & Audrey
Yup. Kraków and Zakopane are also on the list :D Morskie Oko is located not too far away from Zakopane along the Slovak border and it boasts an incredible view.
+YummYakitori It sounds like you're going to have an amazing trip. We really regret not budgeting more time to check out more of the country.
Hi, Im from this city and I'm really impressed that you guys learn so much about history of this city :D good job. And places that you chose are absolutely worth to see. I'm so glad that you enjoyed. :))

i just came back from a holiday from warsaw yesterday. unless you actively look for tourist stuff i can tell you that all you will find is random drunk guys, people on 3 day benders, soviet apartment blocks, lots of great food and polish party people partying on Tuesday afternoons. It was fucking great :D

Thank you very much!
Thanks for your great video! I would like to visit Warsaw and Krakow one day. It could be a great holiday! I've visited Zakopane two years ago. Our winter trip by a funicular railway to the peak Gubalowka was amazing. From there is a beautiful panoramic view of the mountains High Tatras. Samuel & Audrey, thanks!
+Adriana Ferechova Thank you! Oh, that area sounds awesome. I'd love to return again in the winter. Hope you visit Warsaw and Krakow soon. We're keen to visit Krakow as well :)
Certainly looks a great city.
Just found your channel, subscribed straight away, love the energy!
Glad you enjoyed my home country too :)
+Asia Lengiewicz Thank you very much! We're hoping to explore more of Poland the next time we're in Europe :)
I really recommend Torun, and I'd also suggest Zakopane :) Looking forward to following your adventures!
Thanks to this video you guys became pretty famous in Warsaw :) I love that you liked your trip and it is really nice to see that you were trully interested in our history and polish 'things' in general. I'm saing this because sometime tourists are ignoring the fact that Warsaw was completly destroyed during II world war and they are compering this city perhaps to Krakow were everything is original so compering is a little bit pointless. But I guess the fact the we rebuild our capital is also history, isn't it? Anyway it's a pleasure that we had guests like you, come again, check other cities, I'm sure you won't be disapointed :)
+Zuzanna Ognik Thank you very much! It is fascinating how Warsaw is rebuilding and I feel it has a special vibe because of it. We're very keen to travel more in Poland. I hope we can do so soon :)
born from its ashes like a boss :D
I was missing few things here that are very typical for Warsaw and make this place unique. I recommend going to a Klubokawiarnia type of place with hookahs. That is definitely something very popular in the capital. Also I would try some of the shots bars with vodka only. I can't imagine visiting Poland without drinking vodka. Nowadays parties at Vistula river in the night is where the whole city nightlife is. Taking a boat along the river is actually not very popular that is why there aren't that many options to rent one. For a more luxurious feel of the city, I would see Hotel Polonia, at least the lobby, Hotel Bristol (there is an amazing Afternoon tea on the weekends till 5 pm in Bar Kolumnowy which has a style of Art Deco - better than in Britain) or try Panorama Sky Bar in Marriott hotel, the highest hotel bar in Europe with an amazing view of the city. The bar is very stylish and New York style. There are also some fancy restaurants that are just breathtaking like the famous Belvedere in Lazienki Park or the less famous ones like Polish style Restauracja pod Gigantami or Izumi Sushi Bialy Kamien in an orangery.
Been in Warsaw many times and completly fell in love with the city. If you are into nightlife I would recommend going to New Orleans. Top spot as well for a party as for a delicious dinner.
Thanks for sharing that!
You're a very nice couple :-). I hope you enjoyed it, guys :-).
Thank you!
3.15... No wi-fi talk to each other!... brilliant!
My city, I love it 😍
So cool to hear! We really enjoyed visiting.
@Emmet Bergin
Decently you should :)
Awesome video guys :) You should also go to one of polish brew bars like Drugie Dno to explore polish craft beer. In normal pubs you usually can't feel how great Polish beer can be until you go to a brew bar!
Thank you! Great suggestions. I hope we can do that next time.
Mmmm pierogi!
They're so good!
Veronika Rouw mmmmmmmmmm
Veronika Rouw moja mama je robie kocham jie ❤️
very nice
Thank you!
gr8 movie :) i recommend also szczecin beautiful city :) we booked stay in szczecin at hotel dana...cant wait to see the sea
Thank you! Really apprecaite the suggestion.
There is no sea in Szczecin. There is a big river and a lake.
I'm looking for a lady called Natalie in Warsaw. I'm a Sri Lankan. My name is Asoka. Awesome to see Polska. ❤❤❤🎉.
Ayə günnagdıeee çörəy yerə dağıldı elə eləmdə ❤️😍🙏
:)
Nice video, i love Bigos! :D
+ekijii Thank you!
Nice Veri goond 🥰👍
If you want to go back in time I suggest you to visit Crakow ( a lot of history, Jewish area Kazimierz, Shindler's factory and one of the first capitals in Poland) Ojców ( many castles and caves), Biskupin museum (first settlement from VI-XI century), Toruń ( city of Nicolaus Copernicus), Gdańsk ( city of trade in the past). If you want to see beautiful landscapes or take rest go to Mazury ( forests and lakes), Pieniny (Mountain), Bieszczady (Mountain, wild nature), or chose one of 23 National Parks in Poland.
+2208wojtek Thanks for all of the great suggestion. We're hoping to explore more of Poland soon :)
Nice video
Thank you very much!
11:39 There is a Polish legend that says that nobody has ever eaten a donut without licking their lips :)
Cool legend!
I'm headed to Warsaw.. I booked two weeks which might seem like a lot but I like slower travel and traveling solo, so might meet a nice Polish girl there : )
Poland had quite a long time of monarchy, but still great video!
Thanks!
I think they meant that the monarchy times have been over for a little while.
Poland seems lovely, I want to visit there when I'm older and have enough money to travel, but that's not how you say Warsaw
Thank you! Best wishes with that.
Travelling Poland is not expensive. First step is "the master plan" :) Choose or roll a dice. City: Gdansk, Malbork,Warsaw, Torun, Wroclaw etc.
Going beginning of October. From California, usa 🇺🇸
That is great to hear Charly! Hope you have a fantastic trip :)
Let me know how you enjoyed it. I’m thinking of visiting in October 2020 for a few weeks.
Also please tell me what hotel you stayed in. Did you like the hotel? Do tour buses pick up at the hotel?
purogi haha, I love hearing Non-Polish speakers saying it, but other wise great video!
Thank you!
they didn't forget sugar, they simply are so natural
Thanks for letting us know.
you should've guys also go to the Poniatowka beach at night - they have awesome clubbing and also wild bonfire parties in the summer, all running till morning hours
Ah, that sounds like a lot of fun.
Have you been to Krakowskie Przedmiescie? Next to the Old Town Castle Square and Market Square, or New Town? The Marie curie museum in freta street in between old town and new town, or the churches in the new and old town district?
thnx
Thanks!
Poland is great place to visit :) You should go to Szczecin and stay in Hotel Dana which is place in the city center. Very comfortable and tidy rooms, tasty cusine. And they have nice SPA :)
Thank you! Really appreciate the recommendation :)
Visited it last year: great (but undervalued) place in Europe!!
Did you already visited my country, Belgium?
+Jente Thijs Thanks! We've just been to Bruges but loved it there.
Which camera is used mostly and at which settings for video??? Thanks in Advance. Stunning Video and camera work!
Thank you! We used to use a camcorder as this was a couple of years old but our new primary camera is a Panasonic GH5 with a 12-60 f2.8 to 4.0 lens. Couldn't recommend it highly enough :)
Thay are good
Thanks!
if evrything goes as planed i will be in may for 9 days vacation. my appartment is directly in old town. i am looking forward to it.
Wishing you happy travels! Sounds like a fun time. 😊
There is Fear Zone in Warsaw, the best place to get real emotions, becouse it is interactive haunted house :D
Thanks for the suggestion!
Selamat pagi kak,
Mudah mudahan selalu sukses , tetep semangat dan sukses kak
Hey guys. I am in Warsaw right now. Just wondering what are the name of the restaurants from this video? Thanks.

PIEKNE.WIELOBARWNE MIASTO

Thanks for making this video. I’m thinking about spending a couple weeks in Warsaw in October 2020 after a Russian Volga cruise. Can you please tell me what hotel you stayed at and did you like it? Do tour buses pick up from the hotel? What tours do you recommend ? I’d like to take tours that depart from Warsaw as well .. Chopin tours, Auswitz tours etc. Do people speak English there? Will it be hard to take taxis? Thanks so very much!!
It has been several years since we visited so I would check both airbnb for apartment rentals and booking dot com for hotels to see what offers better value. You can around on foot for many places and taxis should be easy enough to take. I'd recommend booking tours from the centre of town.
Thank you so much!
And occasionally when city morgue goes there for concerts so that’s fun
?
