#DESIGN
Wawa design festival
Polish design is gaining worldwide renown – the whole October issue of „Wallpaper” magazine will be dedicated solely contemporary Polish designers active in the world of fashion, architecture and industrial design. Visit Praga’s Soho factory (former motorcycle factory, also home to the Neon Museum) to see how these creative minds tackled this year’s festival theme: „Human”. Exhibitions present designs dedicated to seniors, made in/for Warsaw (Projekt Warszawiak) and Warsaw-inspired illustrations. There’s also a showcase of design from Belarus. You have time until Sunday to visit! To paraphrase the city’s slogan, fall in love with Warsaw’s design!

#SHOW
Multimedia fountains
One of Warsaw’s newest attractions is the Multimedia Fountains Park, just down from the New Town Market square. Ok, it’s not sophisticated art but who can resist the charm of water, lights and music? Oh, and lasers, too! Every summer season the weekend show theme changes, this year the program is called ‘Water Symphony’. The fountain park is one of the best spots in Warsaw to admire the night panorama of Warsaw, too!
