This Most Recommended Warsaw Landmark Is a Must Visit 🇵🇱

- We finally set out to visit one of the most recommended landmarks here in Warsaw, and we weren't disappointed.
We then walked around a new Warsaw neighborhood that reminded us of New York and had some pretty tasty Mexican food.
It was catholic Easter this weekend that’s why everything was closed from Saturday till Monday including this restaurant yesterday which you wanted to visit. Normally it would be opened.
When newcomers arrive in Warsaw and ask on yt for exploration recommendations, promptly lots of Poles tell them to visit the Warsaw Uprising museum, that shows the most tragic disaster of Poland's modern history. But - so far - I have not seen anybody recommending a visit to the glorious National Museum at Jerusalem Avenue (Aleje Jerozolimskie). We love to show our martyrdom to the world, less so our art treasures and cultural achievements.
It is not like that. U. Museum is really good to understand Warsaw. Uprising have defined the city. After that you can walk and look arround with other perspective. Ie: you would not conisider, why they left some old, not spectacular building, cause you know that almost everything older than 80 years has a value for ppl. from Warsaw. Ofc. you should have fun when you are in the city, but 1 or 2h of thinking about a past is not a drama :)
My uncle died in Warsaw Uprsing around Dworzec Gdański. As a polish people we can never forget about our history. Cześć i chwała bohaterom !
Greater love hath no man than this,than a man lay down his life for his friends.-- Jesus (John 15:13)

Museum of the Warsaw Uprising, Copernicus Science Center and Frederic Chopin Museum, polin museum, neon museum of neon lights, Kampinos national park, - don't forget!
And Polin.
@@monikakacprzak4721 I’m not so sure about Polin. Polin Museum doesn’t show the whole picture of Jewish history in Poland.
Never stop filming Warsaw! You are amazing. Happy for you and Marina.
I think that the movie "City of Ruins" makes the biggest impression in the Warsaw uprising museum. It really shows the tragedy, the huge disaster of city. Sometimes compared to Hiroshima even. You can find it on YT as well. (Miasto ruin)
I thought the same. Unfortunately this movie lost its effect since they moved it from small cinema room in the museum to the big hall. It’s easy to miss it, because you have to pay attention to the timer on the screen and there is no explanation what is this. Shame.
When I was living in US I was very well welcome by Americans. I hope you and Marina are very well welcome by Poles and enjoying your stay here.
Looking in terms of food, it's getting harder and harder to give any recommendations. Even if someone tells you that one restaurant is the best, it may turn out that two better ones have just opened. For the last few years in Warsaw there has been an incredible boom of good restaurants. I've been living here since forever and I can't believe it myself. I often visit different big cities in the West and there are few places with such a variety and quality of world cuisine. I hope this trend continues as it changes a lot in a quality of living.
I would go for some Warsaw night life foods, think they so far missed it - tatar, cold slices, vodka shots and this kind of stuff. Whole different kind of tourism tho. ;)
Oh I miss Warsaw. Thanks to your vlogs I can feel like I'm almost there :)
Maybe your next stop is Żelazowa Wola, the birthplace of Fryderyk Chopin.. 👌
The Warsaw Uprising was the city's greatest tragedy. You keep talking about the parallels with New York and maybe you're a little right. When I was in the Big Apple for 4 months, I immediately fell in love with this city.
We went through some stuff as a nation.
That is why we welcome refugees in our homes.
Stay safe, all of you.
If it's anything like what is written up in James Michener's book, you definitely did.
I can't remember whether he included Katyn, but I also read a book about / by a man who escaped from there, or said he did. There was a time when Scott Bakula wanted to make a movie based on that book, but it never happened. However a bunch of his fans did read the book and I was one of them. It's possible our libraries had it, but of course they get rid of things here. :-(
@@pamelajaye 45 conflicts between 1610 and 1945.
When it comes to Katyń, it was as bloody as D-day when it comes to the number of allied soldiers killed (Norman Davies, Europe at war). Interestingly enough, their hands were tied behind their backs when they were shot.
Sounds familiar?
@@namelastname8D yes. I had forgotten. And yes, familiar
In warsaw is a lot good Mexican food for example: Señor Lucas Taqueria on Poznańska Street with great tacos and burritos; Bar Pacyfik on Hoża Street is more food from pacific ocean coast but they have great example of Mexican cousin. Is also Dos Tacos on jasna street and La sirena on Piękna Street. I recommend all of this 4 😊
Mexican Food or Tex-Mex? Big difference.
When this War is over you will build something similar in Mariupol...and for the very same reason. This Museum is our National Shrine...despite that till this day there is a discussion about the need and the sense of the outbreak of the Uprising.
and it's all summed up in a single quote that you'll find on one of the walls in the museum: "anyone who lived in those days knew, that Warsaw simply had to fight..."
The Palace of Culture always brings back good Memories for me , in the 1980s during Martil Law at the Top Kissing My Girl Friend as we looked out at Warsaw
Guys, you should definitely check out some vietnamese food in this city! With a huge Vietnamese community, Warsaw is literally a mecca for Pho soup lovers :) I've myself heard a couple of Europeans saying they'd never had so good Viet food anywhere else in Europe.
Enjoy spring ☀️🙂!
Ahhhh Warszawa. Nasza kochana Warszawa. Ten muzeum to skarb. Szacunek że zwiedziłeś. Polacy strasznie dostali w kość podczas drugiej wojny światowej z każdej strony pod każdym względem ale nadal stoimy! Teraz jak się patrzy na te Polskie miasta n.p., Szczecin, Kraków, Warszawa, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Lublin, Poznań, Toruń, Sandomierz, Zakopane, Zamość to trudno nie być dumny z tego narodu. Serwus.
That museum it why we helped Ukrainie coś we remember in every part we feel that
I think taking “tramwaj” is a good idea, you get to do sight seeing while getting around town...
I just really like seeing you get on and off the trams. They're so modern, clean and shiny. Also I feel like I'm going somewhere.
If you get near Łazienki again, check the area behind the smaller park towards the center, park Ujazdowski, John Lennon street... There's a whole block of small wooden houses with little gardens, which is quite crazy for the center of a big city. Basically, there's a village within.
Ooh!
Oh happy that you tried Gringo ;), next time La Sirena close to Koszyki, and the other is Rico (jana pawla street), prepare yourself for not only burrito but full mexican feast
Please devote one whole episode to visiting the "łazienki królewskie" - for the trained eye - and I see that you like it, you will find Greek and Egyptian architecture there - many temples. and even the beautiful Amphitheater on the water.
it is the legacy of the Polish king - August Poniatowski. that brought us a piece of each country to these beautiful gardens. we also have there a white house. Hippodrome and many more.
@@montekore374 yeah 👍
I can’t watch this. I’m glad you are there!
So grateful you visited it.
PS. I sent you an email 😀
Polin Museum is such a gem. Please don't miss it. It's a very special Jewish museum.
I’m surprised you were permitted to film inside the museum. It looked very interesting, sobering, but sad. Good video.
8:04 Although it has been made by soviets, I think Pałac Kultury is actually really pretty and also expressive comparing to different skyscrapers
Soviet skyscrapers in Stalinist style are copies of American skyscrapers build around 1930.
@ Bartosz Power sorry to deliver the bad news - you need an emergency ophthalmologist intervention to fix your eyes so you can see w/out a Soviet distortion. Or, you are a Vova's (vvp) bottt/buttt and also need a major fix. This Stalin's penis (even kindergarten kids called it so, when it was being built - the wording was identical to used lately by the heroic UKR soldiers from the Snake Island last month) was a "gift" from the Soviets, but w/Polish materials and labor, stolen from rebuilding 85% ruined Warsaw. It is an EXACT copy of the 7 sisters (7 of these monstrosities) in Moskva. They house various offices of the invincible Soviet crappola govts, ministries, official - very dated!!!
One is a Lomonosov university (they still are trying to disprove that Pushkin - the famous poet - was eating mostly Polish canned food).
The 7 sisters were based on some Manhattan skyscrapers built in the beginning of the XX century: The MET LIFE (1909) and the iconic Woolworth Bldg (1930 - 15 Barclay Str). Woolworth is very graceful ( I was there many times, working in the WTC next door for decades, until 9/11/2001 attack @85th floor mostly) while the russkiye monstrosities are heavy duty fat cows, parked incorrectly at the wrong spots.DATED!!!
PKiN was build by Poles for their money. Only architect was soviet.
I like your positive mood :) I am waiting for Wrocław
A couple of tidbits about the uprising (one of them you can learn in the museum, one, you can't):
1. The actress that posed (topless) for the Warsaw Mermaid statue was a medic in the Warsaw Uprising. She died on the second day.
2. i once met a man whose grandfather fought in the Uprising, and went to visit the museum when it opened. There, the tour guide was talking about the german MG-42 machine gun, which has a cyclic rate of fire of 1200 rpm (about 20 rounds every second). The grandfather mentioned, that this was what he used during the uprising, and the guide asked him, how it felt to have such awesome firepower in his hands. His answer? "I don't know, I only had 18 bullets" (only 20% of the insurgents were armed when the Uprising started, and only 1 in 12 had anything that could be considered a "modern" weapon at the time).
Great video! I went to the Warsaw Uprising Museum myself last year when I came back to Poland to visit my family and it left a great impression on me. Anyways I'm glad you're enjoying living in the city I was born in. Greetings from Florida!
Thanks for including us in your visit to the Uprising Museum. A pitcher of margaritas and some guacamole would be my antidote to the sadness of the museum, and maybe a huge piece of New York cheesecake!
Greatest mexican rest is La Sirena at Piękna 54
what a complete change this city has undertaken-even the Uprising Museum could not recall- last time i was there with my then g/f ( 13-14 years ago?) . This place really has to be on the bucket list. marina ,looking radiant as usual.. Be safe you four
We hope to see you visitng :)
Four??? Did I miss something?
@@beverlypearson5332 cat and baby on the way
@@beverlypearson5332 yes, Marina is expecting plus catz etc
@@JL1 to right,pal in June
You guys missed ulica Poznańska where is plenty options to eat or drink something :)
Another great video. I love Mexican food. As I’m sure you know.. We have many good places here in the Los Angeles area. The best places are the family owned mom and pop restaurants. That museum looked so interesting. I love learning about our history. Great choice to go there. Sending my love my friend. Hope you also had a wonderful day. 🥰😘👋🏼❤️
Best mexican food in warsaw is Señor Lucas on Poznańska street, huge portions aswell
Near koszyki you have Arigator Ramen shop, greatest ramen i've ever eaten. Try BBQ and tantanmen 😍
Poland is beautiful
I love your videos! thanks for posting :)
i work in gringo bar 2 days. they care a lot about ingredients and preparation. the owner is a famous Polish rapper sometimes its there
Real old Warsaw is on other side of Vistula river, Praga, explore there, Koneser, Saska Kępa, Zoo district, Szmulowizna.
Speaking of similarities, this "Hala Koszyki" very much resembles "Chelsea Market" in NYC. The Palace of Culture and Science reminds me of the Art Deco architecture of New York, yep! every time I see it. Looks a lot like the Terminal Tower in Cleveland Ohio as well.
Awesome! Definitely going to visit this museum this weekend!
their video barely scratches the surface. IIRC there should be a life-size replica of the sewer (nice, and clean) that the insurgents used to move around - not for the faint of heart.
@@jakubfabisiak9810 I went to visit and it is definitely a powerful museum. A tragic but powerful history.
If You are looking for mexican food you should try Rico. Their lunch sets are awesome. The biggest foodcourt is in hala gwardii
The pounding you hear in the background, is the beating heart of Warsaw. One of my favorite museums.
Fantastic museum
The best Mexican food in Warsaw is in La Sirena. Ther is near to Koszyki.
If you are big fan of mexican food, you should try to check "La Sirena" place. Ive never ate better mxican stuff in my life :)
I'M a Varsavian and went to a NYC high school (didn't flunked, 4 years) well into the end of the last century. Warsaw always had the traits of being little NY, now it's fully blown Little NYC lol
Oooh man - that was my recommendation with Gringo - happy you liked it !!!
Hey man. Awesome job on your vlog. Keep up the good work. Think you'll be getting substantially more subscribers real soon. As for your never-ending search, I'd recommend "El Popo". My favorite Mexican restaurant in Warsaw and I am also crazy about Mexican food and keep looking around for more :)
you definitely have to go to Wrocław. my home town. it's one of the most beautiful cities in Poland.
If you want to fell the PRL vibe, you should visit ''Bar Mleczny Rusałka'' in the Praga district
yep, great, old fashioned eatery, with home comfort food cooked on spot. I used to borrow a city bike on the Old City side of the Wisla river, and bike across the Wisla to "Rusalka".
Also, Bar Mleczny on Nowy Świat street is good for comfort food and very inexpensive.
There is a building with an exceptionally beautiful hall not too far from Hala Koszyki. Go see the hall inside of the main building of the Warsaw University of Technology at plac Politechniki 1. It is open to the public during the day, just enter it directly from the square and go past the vestibule. Tram no 15 will take you directly there from pl. Narutowicza.
💯.
Really impressive, and beautiful.
Warsaw uprising is the reason why there's so much modern architecture in Warsaw. The city was completely destroyed after the uprising and wasn't entirely rebuilt in the communist era. A lot of plots, even close to the city center stayed empty even 40 years after the war. After the fall of communism those plots are being used for modern developoment. Before the world war 2, Warsaw was very densly built, after the war (and during the communist times) it was probably the least densly built capital in Europe, it's getting filled with modern buildings recently.
As for the museum, I felt a bit disappointed (there's a lot of hype and I expected something better). A place where I wasn't disappointed is Centrum Nauki Kopernik. Go see it.
Great. People escaped from the ongoing war and some ass recommended them to go to the war museum
Thanks guys for another great video! If you enjoyed Uprising Museum, you need to check Polin Museum. It's also modern and gives you a fair piece od knowledge about shared history of Poles and Jews who had lived here for centuries. IMO the two, Polin and Uprising, are the best, most interesting Warsaw museums, more intresting than overrated National Museum, which is boring and old fasion in the worst kind of way
Kolejne świetne miejsce, muzeum Powstania. Jeszcze kilka miesięcy i zobaczycie część Warszawy ;D
komentarz taktyczny. pozdro z Oberhausen
I would not mind a burrito right now 🤤
Awesome videos! Please keep pumping them out because I love watching all these beautiful places from my home country while living in Massachusetts.
Look for Maria Kolendra, Mexican food served by Mexican people. Few years back my friend from Monterey was in Warsaw for 3 months, checking Mexican and TexMex restaurants. He told me that food there was like it was made by his grandmother! Also, try Gringo Bar for their chili con carne :)
The fact that I recognised it from the fence in the thumbnail >>
Warsaw is quite close to Greenpoint
u have to see what will going on the city august 1st specially on Rondo Dmowskiego 👊❤️😎
If you're looking for a good mexican food in Warsaw, you should definitely go to Dos Tacos restaurant (Jasna street 22). Great food.😁
Warsaw is kind of New York in Poland . This is business and administrative center of Poland plays a similar role in Poland like New York in USA people from whole counry go there to make a career and earn money etc . But most regions of Poland hate Warsaw :00 so they often recommend other city in Poland .
Hey if You are looking for some decent Mexican food You should try La Sirena on 54 Piekna st!! One of the oldest Mexican restaurants in Warsaw! 🌮🌮🌮
Now I am craving a burrito.
For authentic Mexican food you have to try La Sirena, it was really nearby of Koszyki! :)
Last weekend was Easter and many places were closed. At the beginning of May we have holidays again, so again stores and museums will be closed.
1st May is Labour Day (International Working People's Solidarity Day). The genesis of this holiday were the events in Chicago in early May 1886 and the fight for 8-hour work day, but of course the whole history of this holiday in Poland is long
3rd of May is a celebration of the constitution passed in 1791 which was the second national constitution in the history of the world.
2nd May is Flag Day, on this day shops/museums are open but many people take time off to extend the weekend, schools are closed, public transport operates on a holiday/weekend schedule. Sometimes employers give this day off, but employees must work it off on a Saturday chosen by the employer. Generally on this day you may face various difficulties or changes. It will not be an ordinary Monday in PL :)
Have you been to Park Szczęśliwicki? It is a very nice little park in Ochota, I believe very close to the place you're staying.
7:47 the best moment 😅😉
That city change a lot in 21 years since I have been there doing national army service as government guard. I remember different Warsaw.
You should check out India Gate restaurant in the centre for indian food. Awesome tapas, paella and vibe. And for thai food i would totally recommend Thaisty
If You got interested in topic of armia krajowa Milanówek is a must see place.
why ???
@@mirka many Armia krajowa commanders were hiden there during german and russian occupations.
In sha allah i am come to poland 😍
That's my old high school (IX Liceum im. Hoffmanowej) at 8:05! :-)
Go to la sirena or dos tacos. Those are the best Mexican restaurants In Warsaw :)
Maybe you should open a Chipotle-style restaurant in Warsaw!! All Eastern Europeans would come there for burritos & guacamole!
That's a great idea, Beth.
A lot of major sities in Poland were burried to the ground after WW2, Warsaw especially. If you look at it now, you wouldn't recognize it. I am sure Ukraine can make the same way to rise up again and shine! After Warsaw upraising people were saying that "Polish shoot Germans with diamonds" which ment that even most recognized, talented, well-known people were standing in the line to fight, and of course many of them died. I kind of thought of that saying when I look at the Ukraine now...
Poles had a „choice” - Pałac Kultury or a metro line. Poles chose a metro line, but were granted with Pałac Kultury. Although I like this building :)
Not Poles but a communist dictator Bolesław Bierut who told Stalin that people can go by bikes.
I like the Pałac Kultury because when you go to the top and view the city, you don't see the Pałac Kultury. ;)
If you like Mexican food that much, you should definitely try Taco Bar at Giełdowa (Wola district). Hands down the best Mexican food I had in Warsaw and I'm a foodie. It's a bit pricey (still medium range tho) but given the quality of ingredients it's absolutely worth it.
Niezła Meksykańska restauracja na serio?
Now to lighten up the mood I recommend the Vodka Museum in Praga!
You can try Mexican restaurant Taco Bar (Giełdowa 4A). They serve best Mexican food I've ever had. At the weekend I recommend book a table first. If you'd like to eat some Thai food i can recommend ThaiStreet (Kobielska 75)
If you want to eat best "burrito style" go to Momencik. Its Vegan small restaurant on Poznanska street !!!
Small restaurants are the best!👌
El Popo on Senatorska Street is a good mexican restaurant (big size 😉)
When it comes to Mexican food I recommend El Popo on the street: Senatorska 27
It’s hard to find good Mexican food in Poland (especially if you’ve had it in the US :D) but try Dos Tacos on Jasna street.
It's worth going to "Rico" - Mexican cuisine, they have great burritos there, imo.
Go to viewing point on the 30th floor of Palace of Culture.
10:18 A guy on a unicycle :)
Have you considered learning to ride on one of these?
Come to Coconut Restaurant & Cafe.
Best South Indian food in Warsaw 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You should visit the Mausoleum of Struggle and Martyrdom. It's a special place because it's not a reconstruction of the past or some regular museum. No, this place is a piece of history. Before WW2, this building was home to the Ministry of Religious Beliefs and Public Education. During WW2, the Germans turned this place into their local headquarters. They created prison cells on the lower floors within the building and tortured resistance fighters over there. It's a very cold place. It feels like death. You can still read all the messages scratched on the walls, left by the prisoners. Overall, a very touching experience.
Senor Lucas Taqueria on Poznanska street is better and cheaper
I like yours jokes bro! 7:53
7:51 😂😂
I like you 👍👍👍 My English is not good, but i understood every thing what you talking 👍👍👍beacause You are also slavic man?
Polini muzeum is interesting
Polin (Poland in Yiddish), not "Polini".
