About Warsaw
Uncovering the Hidden Gems of Warsaw
Are you a digital nomad looking for your next home-swap destination? Look no further than the vibrant city of Warsaw. With a thriving startup scene and plenty of co-working spaces, Warsaw is a great spot for remote workers looking to mix business with pleasure. Here's our guide to the top things to see and do in Warsaw, as well as some tips for working remotely in the city.
Explore the Old Town
No trip to Warsaw would be complete without a stroll through the charming Old Town. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Town is home to colorful buildings, cobbled streets, and plenty of history. Be sure to check out the iconic St. John's Cathedral, which dates back to the 14th century, and the Royal Castle, which offers stunning views of the city and its history dating back to the 16th century. As you walk around the Old Town, you will also come across many small squares with outdoor cafes and street performers, making it a perfect spot for a break and people watching.
Get Lost in the Markets
For a true taste of local life, head to one of Warsaw's many markets. The Hala Mirowska market is a great spot for picking up souvenirs, such as traditional Polish pottery or amber jewelry. While the Kolo market is perfect for foodies, where you can sample traditional Polish dishes like pierogi and kielbasa, as well as international street food. It's also a great place to shop for fresh produce, meats and cheeses.
Co-working and Wifi
As a digital nomad, it's important to know that Warsaw has plenty of options for working remotely. The city is home to a number of coworking spaces, such as the modern and stylish Warsaw Hub, which offers great facilities, fast wifi, and a friendly community of like-minded professionals. Additionally, the city has a good internet coverage in most places, so you can work from a park or a café with ease. You can also find many coffee shops and cafes with power outlets and comfortable seating.
Take a Day Trip
If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, consider taking a day trip out of Warsaw. The nearby town of Kazimierz Dolny is a popular spot for its picturesque streets, charming architecture, and peaceful atmosphere. Or you can take a boat trip on the Vistula River, which offers beautiful views of the city, and you can also enjoy a picnic on the bank of the river.
Get Cultural
In addition to its rich history, Warsaw is also home to a thriving arts and culture scene. The city's museums and galleries are not to be missed, with the National Museum, which covers the history of Poland from ancient times to the present day, and the Zachęta National Gallery of Art, being particularly noteworthy. The city also offers many theater and music performances throughout the year, so be sure to check out the local listings for events during your stay.
Warsaw's Food Scene
Last but not least, Warsaw's food scene is not to be missed. The city is home to a number of excellent restaurants, with traditional Polish cuisine being particularly well represented. For a truly authentic dining experience, head to one of the city's milk bars, which offer hearty, home-style cooking at affordable prices. Some popular dishes to try include bigos (a traditional stew made with meat and cabbage) or pierogi (dumplings filled with meat or vegetables). If you're looking for something a bit more upscale, the city also has a number of high-end restaurants that offer modern twists on traditional dishes.
