City Centre

share

This is most likely where you're standing or sitting right now. This is the largest district in Warsaw stretching from the Old Town to the north and Aleja Armia Ludowej south and more or less Aleja Jana Pawła II to the west and ul. Topiel and Rozbrat to the east. This is most likely where you will spend most of your time as most of the city's bars, restaurants, museums, parking lots, hotels and shops are located somewhere here. Below you can select a chapter to quickly narrow our entire database of venues to just those located in the city centre.
