Line M1
Plac Wilsona
A classically elegant neighbourhood in Warsaw around the old Russian Citadel, modernist apartment blocks and the Stanisław Kostki Church, home to Catholic fundamentalists. Here you’ll also find the grave of Jerzy Popiełuszko – a priest who was murdered by secret police agents in the 1980s and became a symbol of the uprising against communism.
Ratusz Arsenał
Here you’ll find the Bank Square, the Old Stock Exchange, the Old Royal Garden (Saski Park) and the Grand Theatre. This is also where you get off if you want to see the Jewish museum, Polin, and a large number of memorials located in what was the Jewish ghetto during the war.
Świętokrzyska
This is where the two metro lines intersect. close to the only street in the Jewish ghetto that wasn’t destroyed in 1943. and the new National Art Museum.
Centrum
Every visitor to Warsaw passes through here at one point or another. When you arrive, one of the first things you see is the Palace of Culture, Stalin’s “gift” to the Polish people.There are plenty of hotels, the Central Railway Station, shopping and endless opportunities to study socialist architecture from the 1950s.
Politechnika
This is still the centre, but with more local people than tourists. Here we find Constitution Square – the communists’ architectural prestige project – as well as Plac Zbawiciela, which every thirsty tourist should visit.The Technical University itself is also an impressive experience, but above all, it has a great atmosphere.
Pole Mokotowskie til Racławicka
At this station, I’ve included a walking tour and two metro stations. We start at one of the city’s major public parks and the Warsaw School of Economics, pass an old prison and then walk down Puławska, an exciting shopping street.
Wierzbno, Ursynów og Kabaty
A short story about three different metro stations located some distance from the city centre. They each have a lot of interesting stories to tell, and maybe one day I’ll do a separate article for each of these stations. If you want to get away from the crowds.
Linje M2
Dworzec Wieleński
Across the river to the Praga district, which not so many years ago was the slums of Warsaw, a perfect place if you were in the mood for a fight. After the metro station was added, the area has been completely renovated and today the neighbourhood has been taken over by young and creative people, lots of small pubs and local atmosphere. This is your last chance to see the old slum, but there are still a few examples.
Stadion Narowody
Praga – right by the National Football Stadium. Here you’ll also find the large Eastern Railway Station, Wedel’s old chocolate factory and a very different atmosphere from the city centre. Worth a visit to see that Warsaw is more than what you might think. And also to visit Soho Factory with its bars, museums, theatre, art gallery and much more.
Centrum Nauki Kopernika
This is where you get off if you want to relax and enjoy life by the riverside. You can also visit the experimental museum (Copernicus Centre), a stunning garden on the roof of the university library or eat, drink and get beauty treatments at Elektrownia, an old power plant turned food hall and lifestyle centre.
Nowy Świat Uniwersytet
The Old Town, the University, shopping streets, loads of bars and restaurants, statues, churches and happy people. You can’t miss the Old Town, so read up on it before you go.
Rondo ONZ
This is the place to go if you like high-rise buildings. All the big international companies are represented here, but there’s also an old market hall and parts of the Jewish ghetto, including a fragment of the wall surrounding the ghetto and the site of a bridge between the big and small ghetto.
Rondo Daszyńskiego
The high-rise buildings continue here and then you’ll find the Museum of the Warsaw Uprising in an old power station. There’s also a railway museum, and overall the atmosphere is a bit more relaxed than at the neighbouring station – Rondo ONZ.
