The site of a former Vodka factory, closed in 2007 and now restored to become one of the beacons of the newly renovated Praga Koneser Centre in the Praga district. We at IYP have been swept off our feet by Polish vodka (not in that way!), due to its fascinating history and variety, and now, we feel it our duty to enlighten all who visit the country about the fascinating details and metamorphosis of the drink which has for a long time suffered an image problem, associated with...umm...getting legless as quickly as possible. Times have changed. This is Poland's national drink, and therefore, proponents of vodka would like us all to approach the drink like Scots to whisky!

The museum is a multimedia-filled experience, taking you from the early beginnings to modern day production methods. Along the way, you will see a variety of really old vodka bottles, be treated to a vodka tasting, and afterwards, have the opportunity to buy some classy gifts. The museum is a celebration of the wonderful spirit, so deeply tied to Polish history itself.

There are several ways to visit the museum, from audio tours to standard tours to various extended and VIP tours, plus cocktail and tincture workshops; the best approach is to reserve online through their website, where you'll see the various language options available. Standard guided tours in Polish begin on the hour and 20mins after; English tours at 40mins after the hour; tours in French, German, Russian and Spanish are also available, but must be booked 48hrs in advance (including audio guide tours). The final tours of the day begin at 19:00 Sun-Thu and 20:00 Fri-Sat. Please note that those under 18 are allowed to visit accompanied by an adult! NOTE: There is the possibility of organising 'night tours' outside of museum opening hours - after 19:00 or 20:00, before 12 noon or on Mondays. Booking is required 7 days in advance. Thanks to their sizeable function room, there is also the possibility of organizing events there! Inquire for more details!
