Bristolhibby Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Total insomniac tonight, wondered what's the gen from last time . Places to go, where to drink, where not to drink, good eateries, etc? Any pointers would be appreciated. We are staying near the Castle if that helps.

bonzo Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 If your near the castle your right in the old town plenty of bars from German type bier kellers to Irish pubs plus all the local bars most serve food..You should be around a 20 min walk to the ground,and would say the Warsaw uprising museum is a must.

scottincarlisle Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 We just wandered round the old town at leisure. It's a great city, loads of places to eat & drink. Went to the Copernicus Centre with my son & also up the Palace of Culture to the viewing platform of city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just wandered round the city walls, the castle, the town square & followed a map finding all the many statues & big clock. We also had to go in a few of the tourist tat shops to keep my wife happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSP Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The Warsaw Uprising Museum, just opposite the Novotel is well worth a visit. There are loads of we cafe/restaurants all over town with cheap beer and excellent food. Great city, can't wait to revisit, and hopefully get another result.

Scotch_Haggis Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Is it better to prebook the uprising museum or just pay on the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warsaw Uprising Museum is a fair bit off the Novotel, its nearer the Ibis Centrum but its worth going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liviloyal Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Casino. Open all night, as long as you're sitting at one of the tables then they come round and give you free drinks every half hour as well. Perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULSTERSCOTAS Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Avoid the pole/lap dancing dens which run a slick operation in lightening your wallet - suppose that would'nt be specific tae Warsaw though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arbroath55 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Change your money over there you can get over 5 zlotty to the pound here its 4.4ish ! Plenty of exchanges about the city ! We got 4.93 in March from an ATM in Warsaw and calculated our 5 zloty pint of 5.8% Polish Beer in the Irish Bar in the old town at about £1.12. Sterling has strengthened since then and the rate is about 5.33 today so that same pint will come in about 97p. A 2 course meal in a really good restaurant will set you back about £12 with house wine about £6.50 a litre, first place we went into was running a 2 - 4 - 1 happy hour between 4 and 7 ( next to The Westin ) We cashed in £100 each for 2 days and I still had £30 left at the airport. I'm staying 3 days this time and reckon £100 will help me live like a lord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantyboy1983 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Saw exchange rate in Tesco the other day, was around, 4.93 so might just get a few for heading over then exchange more in Warsaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
