I guess I don’t will go to Warsaw within the next days but I will check your channel regularly and hopefully we can meet one day. Please visit Wilanów (Southern Warsaw) which is the most expensive residential area in Warsaw but not because of this. There is the King Sobieski Palace. You should really visit this place.

I have about 60 bigger and smaller, more expensive and cheaper restaurants within walking distance. Full infrastructure - clinics, service facilities, shops. Lots of greenery and excellent communication with every part of the city. The neighboring Muranów is a bit more to the north, which I have already written to you.

If you like modern architecture you should visit ,,Służewiec" one day, which is full of new buildings. It's business and residential district with a lot of restaurants and cafe's. It's unofficially named ,,Mordor" same as on JRR Tolkien books. There is also city called Konstancin-Jeziorna very close to Warsaw where are very expensive and beautiful villas.

[@jakubhuk991]

If you like "old school" of architecture check Lwowska, Wilcza, Nowogrodzka, Mokotowska street. On this street you feel climat of pre war Warsaw. You find many buildings from belle epoque.

[@frederickmuhlbauer9477]

Nowy Swiat

[@jackalski]

It's a shame though that most of the buildings you will find on those streets are barely shadows of their past selves. During communism most of the buildings beautiful fronts, beautiful sculptures and decorations were clipped down to make them fit 'working man' aesthetics, and less 'bourgeoisie'. It's a real shame, but slowly some of them are getting back at least some of it's former flair as they are being renovated, eg Foksal 13 and 15.

[@cousteau2763]

17:03 I think this building was filmed in polish comedy called "Poszukiwany, poszukiwana" from 1972 (that tiny upper right window was main characters flat). Most of these old buildings hidden between new modern glass&concrete offices are silent witnesses and reminders of world wars cruelty.

[@maxdistortion9501]

before ww2 Warsaw was called Paris of the east.

[@benwars9524]

I did try Francisco Galarraga's Argentinian empanadas (Chimi&Churri) at Grzybowska street (probably the one that you mentioned) and I confirm, it's a must. Now, if you want to try REAL local traditional street food, go to "Pyzy, Flaki Gorące" at Podwale street 5 (close to the Old Town). They serve food in jars! I recommend in particular the delicious Warsaw-style beef tripes with meatballs. As for exploring Warsaw centre, don't miss the area to the south of Aleje Jerozolimskie (Koszykowa, Emilii Plater, Lwowska streets), it's one of the few places that escaped total destruction during WW2. You'll have a glimpse of the pre-war 19th-century Warsaw (tenement houses) that is largely gone in other parts of the city. And, why not explore the "exotic" Warsaw? I suggest two Asiatic markets: at Bakalarska street and the biggest one, Marywilska 44. Attention: the latter has what IMO is Warsaw's best Asian food court.

[@Terenia531]

[@browarman]

29:00 It's one of last bits of pre war warsaw. We try to protect the buildings that were not totally leveled by germans in 1944. There is a law saying you can't block access to the day light. You can make new building if you will not plan it with light norms or you have to pay amount of money to people in neigbouring buildings

[@comdo831]

Not true about the sunlight. If the ground is yours, the sky belongs to you too. You still have to adhere to the city planning regulations though. The old building represents no value what so ever. Some crazy people are blocking its demolition. You wouldn't find absurdities like that in the US because people in the US have enough sense not to preserve old garbage only because the brick is 100+ years old.

[@monikakacprzak4721]

Also ”Fabryka Norblina” is reconstruction of an old industrial buildings.. there was a large industrial plant in the years before 1982. 10 buildings (19 century - the bricks one) were renovated, they add something new... There is relic some industrial equipment there - authentic (and renovated).

[@filipkogut8533]

We Poles celebrate the leftovers from before WWII, since most of Warsaw was destroyed and some buildings were brought down during the soviet times. It's a kinda different perspective than other nationalities may have towards old buildings that aren't palaces and other landmarks.

Love the Rondo ONZ, Grzybowska and Mirów. Blend in, respect for neighbourhood, I would never suspect I would say that about my city! City of Warsaw! That's it folks.
Check the InterContinental hotel building, how it allows the older buildings access to day light...
IMHO it is a grace period, sooner or later you will find some problems specifically in Śródmieście Płd./Płn. e.g. is dehumanisation of the ground level at the Aleje Jerozolimskie , Marszałkowska, Chmielna - are deserted, every 2nd shop is 7/11 or specifically Alko24h shop or Kebap. Almost no regular business, shops or restaurants, bars, cafeterias ( I think even chain ones are migrating). '90, '00 you would find an infinite stream of people on those wide pavements. That is the price of malls and places like Norblin, Browary or Hala Koszyki - I still count it will change. Love Warsaw!

[@MrSfinkster]

You should visit Srodmiescie where you will find old style villas, low level apartment buildings and tenement houses , i.e arround US Embassy, streets like Piekna, Wilcza, Hoza, Mokotowska, Krucza, Aleja Roz. Srodmiescie district is built in style of 50 and 60 called "modernism" and socrealism and it can be very interesting. After that you can hop on a tram or metro and go to the Old Mokotow district, where you have lots of residential houses and villas, and going further south you will end up at Ursynow, where there a lots of 10-12 stories apartment building built in the 80s, but whole district is very nicely planned with a lots of green and space between every apartment building.
P.S Love your insights into my home town and your comments about Warsaw :)

[@planetjames95]

Thank you for the suggestions

[@jackalski]

You mention Śródmieście Południowe, and while it's true some of the buildings are socrealistic in their nature, it is not the whole story. Some of the buildings have been rebuilt after the war on the old plot with same space, some were burned inside but had walls standing. After the war the beautiful XIXc. decorations were clipped down because they were deemed 'too bourgeoisie' for the 'working man'. And now you have gray, plastered, straight walls where once were beautiful façades with sculptures, fancy balconies and nice tiles and decorations. From time to time there are 'city walks' organized by varsavianists

About the balconies, we used to do the same in Portugal (closing them for storage and avoid trashing/dust flying over) but in the last 10 years new marquises (the name in Portuguese) were forbidden.

I love your feelings, your observations while wandering streets of Warsaw. It's so refreshing for the one born and raised here. The eye of a stranger, an outsider. And you are, no offence. But if you both will decide, that my city is the place to live for longer you should - no, you MUST - dig deeper into it's history, Then you'll undestand why we have so mish-mashed architectural styles here, why the Old Town in Warsaw is the youngest Old Town in the world. Visit some museums. Obligatory - Warsaw Museum at the Old Town Square and Museum of Warsaw Uprising (Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego) at Grzybowska 79 (more ul. Przyokopowa). And if wou'll happen to be on the the other side of the river - Muzeum Warszawskiej Pragi (Warsaw's Praga Museum) at Targowa 50/52. And one more museum - the one in lifetime experience - Polin Museum (History of Polish Jews Museum) at Anielewicza 6, the Warsaw's Ghetto area during WW2. Reserve 5-6 hours for this one. Good luck to you both and i hope your child's first breath will be of Warsaw's air.

1 tężnie solankowe in Konstancin Jeziorna
2 Milanówek - mix of 19th century Villas of former resort for factory owners and good lesson of history of polish resistance during WW2.
3 Żyrardów with it's neogothic architecture style. Little Manchester
4 Zalew zegrzyński. The lake resort north to Warsaw
5 Twierdza Modlin. The biggest brick barrack construction ever build, former russian fortrece made to control Warsaw in 19th century, close to zalew zegrzyński
6 termal pools and aquapark in Wręcza close to Żyrardów
7 another termal pools in Mszczonów and wineyard in dwórzno few kilometers away from Wręcza and Mszczonów
8 Płock. The bigger and closer version of Kazimierz Dolny. Even Vistula is wider there
9 Łódź. Very underrated place with nice old architecture, best railway station. Known of postindustrial well preserved buildings changed into new functions. Pricess in restaurants are way cheaper than in Warsaw.
10. Puszcza Kampinoska, the huge National park with Polish wild cat Ryś
11. Fort Bema. Former russian fort changed into wonderfull park
12. Wilanów. Palace of King Jan III Sobieski, polish Versaile. Very modern district.
13 hala Mirowska, place with high quality food made by Polish farmers. Good place to buy stuff like fresh vegetables and fruits. You can find there any type of meat and sausage you want. Prices are simmilar to biedronka and other discounts

[@planetjames95]

Thank you so much, Robert! That's an awesome list.

[@roberturbanczyk204]

@@planetjames95 You are welcome. Milanówek is a place you should choose first of that list. Almost every building has it's story translated into english. They have very good restaurant named blueberry duck. Fancy dishes in wonderfull place with great, very inteligent waiters and awesome chef. Prices are affordable. Enjoy Warsaw and mazowsze.

[@jackalski]

Nice! Even as Varsovian I find this list very interesting. I don't remember being to Milanówek, like ever, and some of the other places I simply forget about :D

[@anetabo9300]

Visit Ząbkowska Street, you will meet the old Warsaw there 😁
And Koneser also 🌞

[@jideckchobot]

Have You been in Wilanow? or Stare Bielany , very nice places

[@marcinkarbowniczyn9226]

In Poland we now chałwa pretty well :) We call it "kurz z cukrem" which stands for "dust with sugar" :D

[@19MJ74]

16:44 - You should really do yourselves a favour and eat at Munja which is sharing the location with Ibis on Grzybowska Street. Fantastic Balkan food, run by a Montenegran ( I believe) family. Seriously, the food is unreal. On the more expensive side of things though :)

[@tizek2]

man u missed something big. 17:18. this old building is straight from WW2. u can go there and see how looks warsaw after german bombing. I saw it (on yt vid) and it struck me hard.

[@planetjames95]

Thanks Lukasz

[@Daan495]

my dad's friend always used to bring us delicious chałwa when he drove a truck to the Ukraine.

[@Daan495]

I mean Ukrainian chawła is really good!

[@nygaman]

You need to visit warsaw uprising muzeum.

[@walditu9355]

You gotta check out Browary Warszawskie which is just some 300 meters from Fabryka Norblina.

[@sgebert]

Regarding mexican food: there's tough competition here in Warsaw, but my personal best has got to be La Sirena, although it's a little pricy. If you choose to go there make sure you try one of their cocktails, they might be even better then the food.

[@planetjames95]

Thank you - looking for good Mex food.

[@sgebert]

@@planetjames95 Also, I only now am watching your Q&A, and it's worth mentioning that it's extremally common for parents in Warsaw to share, as in give away what they have once their kids grow out of it. It's done through FB groups and is a great way to save some money. You can get strollers, clothes, pretty much everything, and you see it beforehand, so not much chance for getting any shabby deal. Should you be interested I can set you up

[@kajosan79]

Regarding this mix of old and modern. This is the result of post-war history. Warsaw as a result of the Uprising, and then the regular demolition of the entire infrastructure by the germans, Warsaw was razed to the ground. During the times of the Polish People's Republic, the communists rebuilt Warsaw but not entirely and thats why is a place for this new development.

[@izabela1961]

The new flats with large balconies that you like are in modern parts of the city and are built by a Spanish company Acciona, so they are identical like in Spain. The only thing that misses is the Mediterranean Sea. And I suppose they are extremally expensive.

[@planetjames95]

I knew they looked familiar…

[@wuuemm]

Papa Stamm was the famioust Polish boxing couch.

[@radzikpvp]

I enjoyed video. Since all the time we hear only good stuff about Wwa could you mention things that bother you or you would change if they were up to you?

[@planetjames95]

I'll think of some things.

[@MieszkoEichelbergerKP]

Cześć! :)

[@hectorvargas6452]

It's nice so i can make plans for vacation…

[@2mek99]

You live about 500 m from the biggest google data centre in Central Eastern Europe. You had to pass it when walking to the Art Norblin. A similar centre was built also by Microsoft but outside the city.

[@KrissowskiM]

Pity the cancer is spreading and allowed to work to enslave all of US and lie to us and rest if the people about real life, steal their data and profit doing it...

[@warsawspotter7221]

u have to check out hala koszyki if u like this kind of food towns

[@ronin36963]

"A beautiful alley" has never been spoken in nyc 😁

[@CelahirJumpforce]

covered balconies is a standard also in Romania and Bulgaria

[@annazaborowska-hikert4221]

Dear American in Ukraine and Marina - near Norblin factory, at Żelazna 90, there is the best maternity hospital in Warsaw (and maybe even in the world). It is possible here to give birth naturally, without stress and medical interference, and in case of emergency, very modern medical equipment and wonderful staff are available at any time. The hospital is available and free of charge to women who crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border after February 24, 2022.

[@malwinakowalska9609]

You talking about Marina and to her with very big respect... I like it... Hope so it not for viewings or something and is true... Marina give me a signal non verbal if there is something different in this... Just blink dwice...😄😉😉🥰

29:25 pls - At the end of the video, I've noticed this several times, please end the video with an announcement - so, "that's the end of the video, I hope you had fun, I'm happy to see you again"... Or " this is the end of the video l please subscribe to the channel and click the like button"...so far it's always so surprising to suddenly see the end without any "goodbye".
