Exploring one of the most colorful neighborhoods in Warsaw

Christopher Brown discovered one of the most colorful neighborhoods in WARSAW – Praga. Not yet flooded by tourist, it has still remained an insiders´ tip, and therefore a treasure chest for a resourceful photo story.


“Rather than opting for an overpriced stay in the tourist clad Stare Miasto (‘Old Town’), we set up camp for a week in the wonderful Praga district of Warsaw. Conveniently located directly across the Wisła (Poland’s longest and largest river), it is still laced with bullet holes and bomb blasts from the Second World War. A strategic outpost during the famous ‘Warsaw Uprising’ of August 1944, the well-worn textures of abandoned buildings and bygone eras were a warm welcome to Warsaw’s most colorful neighborhood.

Upon arrival, we immediately set out to explore the streets of our adopted ‘hood’. As we ducked into a dilapidated courtyard to capture some images, we met our first group of locals: A trio of small and scrawny street boys. All under ten years of age, they had parked their little brightly colored bicycles like bikers at a bar, to enjoy a collective smoke. Their leader (whom we later and aptly named ‘Little Fucker’) approached us and back waved for us to clear out, while barking in his tiny tobacco tinged voice: “Wypierdalaj naszej okolicy!” (“Get the fuck out of our neighborhood!”) During our stay, we ran into him a few more times; shouting from his mother’s balcony as she hung the laundry, riding on the back of another friend’s bike like a little bitch, and walking his three-legged dog.

Reminiscent of Berlin 10-15 years ago (or Detroit now), this part of town is changing fast. A new Metro line has only opened in the last year, and higher-end cafes are beginning to pop up on select corners. Still home to a vibrant under-the-radar nightlife, the district has much more to offer than what would appear at first glance. You won’t find tourists in this part of town… yet, so enjoy it while you can.”

Hello from my planet! I love nature, freedom, dancing, traveling, music, reading, chilling, cats and the woods. What makes me happy is healthy food, a good night out, long walks in the forest and getting lost in the sound of nature.

    Hej, szukacie sprawdzonych miejsc, żeby pogoń za wygraną była nie tylko emocjonująca, ale i bezpieczna? Z własnego doświadczenia wiem, że kluczem jest wybór kasyna z dobrymi bonusami i szybkimi wypłatami. Na przykład, sprawdźcie rankingi na https://www.motormuseumhagestein.nl/ – ta strona to skarbnica rzetelnych informacji, która pomoże wam odkryć naprawdę lukratywne automaty i uniknąć pułapek. Sam dzięki takim poradom trafiłem na platformy, gdzie bezproblemowo wypłaciłem całkiem pokaźne sumy, grając w nowe sloty od Pragmatic. Pamiętajcie tylko o rozsądnym graniu i ustalaniu sobie limitów, wtedy zabawa jest najlepsza, a wygrane smakują najsłodzej

    Jeśli szukacie sprawdzonego źródła, które nie owija w bawełnę i pokazuje realne warunki gry dla nas w Polsce, to mam dla Was sprawdzony namiar. Warto regularnie odwiedzać https://ww1.e-kasyna.com/ ponieważ to jedyny portal, który tak rzetelnie prześwietla bonusy bez depozytu i darmowe spiny, oszczędzając nam czytania nudnych regulaminów. Prawdziwą “perełką” na tej stronie jest ich aktualizowana na bieżąco czarna lista nieuczciwych operatorów, co już kilka razy uratowało mój portfel przed wpłatą w niewłaściwe miejsce – jeśli więc chcecie grać bezpiecznie i wyciskać z kasyn maksimum korzyści, koniecznie sprawdźcie ich najnowszy ranking pod tym linkiem.
