Praga-Północ
About
Discover Praga, Warsaw's other face and the most exciting trend district at the moment! Located on the right bank of the Vistula and just a few minutes from the old town, Praga differs significantly from Warsaw west of the Vistula. This district, characterized by trade and industry, was once a melting pot of cultures, where Christians, Jews and Orthodox lived peacefully together. On the 2-hour city tour you will explore the former multicultural, as well as today's Praga on the move. Hardly destroyed in the Second World War, Praga was neglected in the post-war period. Here you can get a good impression of what Warsaw looked like before the war. Experience the multicultural Praga up close!
