Ola from Warsaw

About me I'm a Warsaw journalist, writing everyday news, reviews of new places, and meeting lots of inspiring people who create Warsaw. I also travel a lot and the further I go the more I appreciate Warsaw! Our exeptional wild beach in the centre of the city, cold vodka drunk at the bar at 04:00, riding a bike over an empty Świętokrzyski bridge at night - these are the things th...

Poniatówka Beach Warsaw

Wild beach in the centre

""Poniatówka Beach" in Warsaw on the right side of the Vistula is something unique - we have a popular, wild & wide beach right in the centre of the city!"

The beach on the right side of Vistula river is something unique for the European capital. In the centre of the city we have a wild and wide beach. You can have a bonfire there, sunbathe, or play volleyball. Along the entire coast there is also a bike route and you can have a nice little trip riding down there.

You can observe some wild animals at the Vistula river. I've seen otters and deers just across the city centre. My friends have even seen boars and elk there!

Poniatówka beach is a part of the coast just at the Poniatowski bridge. This place, according to Facebook, was one of the 10 most popular spots in Europe. It's the place with the biggest amount of check-ins in 2013 on our continent.

On a summer night this place is one of the hottest party places. There are also two beach bars there - Temat Rzeka and Plażowa, that organise some events, as well as usually a couple of food-trucks.
