Warsaw, PL | Summertime edition ☀️

By far the best and trendiest breakfast spot this season! Lychees menu varies every season to surprise you with unique combination of products on the plate. It is a new spot on the map of Warsaw and it quickly became a viral among foodies on Instagram and TickTock. Therefore, this summer is the best time to visit as the place is still fresh & intriguing. ❣️

Ogrody Krasińskich / Krasiński Gardens | ul. Gen. W. Andersa

Open-air food market you cannot miss 🌯

Nocny Market / Night Market | ul. Towarowa 3 🔅

The spot to be during summer! Every weekend Night Market offers a slightly different line-up of street food restaurants serving dishes from around the world. The location is also unique as the tables are set up on an old platform which used to belong to Main Warsaw Railway Station. While enjoying your meal, in distance you can still see actual trains passing by. You can also grab a drink and listen to music (every day, different DJ).

Located right next to the Old Town, Multimedia Fountain Park offers a spectacular show of light, sound and water in the evenings between May and September. Sit down on the grassy slope and appreciate an animated story about the history of Warsaw and its legends displayed on the water scree.
