#BARBECUE
Be originally cool and have some food while you’re at it!
PKP Powiśle was the first club/bar to open in Powiśle, the hippest district of Warsaw these days. 5 years on, the place still gets its fair share of partygoers, which is something in a city that loves novelty. Today, head there to relax on deckchairs with the city’s hipsters (the event is co-organized with a fixed-bike store), catch some sunlight, eat “a little something” from the barbecue and get a drink. Come during the day or at night, DJs will do their best to get you moving on the dancefloor.
Where: PKP Powiśle, ul. Kruczkowskiego 3b

When: from 12 PM on Saturday, May 31st

#STROLL/FOOD/DRINK
Undiscovered (by tourists, naturally) district of Warsaw
After visiting the Old Town, the Royal Route and Łazienki you may wonder what to do next. One of our suggestions is to follow Aleje Jerozolimskie (with the palm tree) towards the river, walk over one of the oldest and most picturesque bridges (originally built between 1904-1914, destroyed twice, and twice rebuilt), and find yourself on the posh Saska Kępa, home of artists of all sorts – from great poets to soap opera stars, but at the same time an excellent example of pre-war modernist villa district. On your left you’ll have one of the biggest ‘green zones’ of Warsaw – the Skaryszewski Park, where – with luck – you can see a beaver or two. You can also have a look inside the modern National Stadium. The compound is open daily from 10:00AM to 6:00PM. On your right – one of the most pleasant streets in the city, Francuska, with restaurants serving a vast diversity of meals – from African, though Italian, French to Turkish food. Francuska is also lined with cafes that provide a relaxing atmosphere from morning till evening. A great get-away from the annoying traffic and noise of the city center!
And here’s a little secret: ul.Zwycięzców that cuts across Francuska is one of our personal favorites, esp. Zwycięzców 49 with weird-flavored ice cream and a cozy bar called Towarzyska!
Where: Saska Kępa neighborhood, esp. ul. Francuska and Zwycięzców

#PARTY
The party continues!
Is there a better club venue than by the wild riverbank right next to the beach, with the panorama of Warsaw spread out before your eyes? Nope, we didn’t think so either. The building that is now home to Plażowa (“The Beach”) caused quite a few controversies and was nicknamed “world’s most expensive toilet” at the cost of 60 mln PLN (€15 million). Luckily, with its impressive architecture, two dancefloors, four bars and a pizza oven it is definitely much more than just a restroom.
Officially a branchout of 1500 m club, expect the place to be crowded with 20-year-olds enjoying the beats played from vinyls by some of Warsaw’s veteran DJs, including Isaymikey from AM radio and Jedynak from Flirtini.
This is the second day of Plażowa’s opening party!
Where: Plażowa, right by the Poniatowski Bridge
