I literally do not. Leave them alone. Just exercise basic caution around them. The more friendly we are towards them the more tamed they become, they're basically pigs. I wish there were more boars so I can give them apples and pat them. Boarless city=boring ahh city. Anti-boarism=obnoxious philistinism

Call me crazy if you want, you have been warned this is an unpopular opinion

Hello, I’m looking for a bar/hangout spots at Warsaw. I’ve been living in Warsaw for over 2 years a now. I’m trying to find suggestions for bar or places to hang out solo. Somewhere safe for POC and women, lgbtq friendly. That I can just get a drink at on a random Tuesday afternoon/Weekdays.

Lmk if you have any recommendations preferably not far from city centre.

TIA :3

Hello! Today is the last night of my honeymoon! As Koreans, we ate various cuisines here in Poland that we couldn’t have tasted back home, since “foreign” foods in Korea are dimmed down to fit their taste buds. (Polish, Indian, Kebab, Italian, Chinese, Korean) and for our last supper, we want to have one last Polish meal. So far, we have visited Morskie Oko in Krakow (wasn’t very impressed), Bufet KRK in Krakow (Pretty decent), Mloda Polska in Wroclaw (not bad), and now I am hesitant on either Stary Dom, Podwale 25, or Czerwony Wieprz. Which would you recommend? Or others opinions! Thank you!

Hello everyone!

Simple yet unusual question here.

Any advice for a wheel chair user during Winter in Warsaw? It's for a close friend of mine, who will come to live in Warsaw just during the winter season. This will be their first time navigating in their winter with snow, so honestly both of us have no idea what to expect here.

Any tips or recommendations are greatly appreciated :)

Some info:

Normal personalized regular wheel chair, with no outstanding add-ons.

We don't mind buying stuff that might help or improve her chair, but I guess the main concern would be to keep it "as simple as possible" (budget limitations mainly).

I'm experienced with taxi scams living in NYC and haven't taken one in Poland in years, but we were in central station with a bunch of luggage and needing to go to old city, my guard was completely down since we went to the taxi area in front of central station.

Taxi ride was 9min (2.6km) and the guy charged us 200zl. He showed me some hand held device that said 210 and he said he'd just round it down to 200. He also said its cash only because he didn't charge his credit card machine.

I feel really stupid, i knew it was too much but im not a confrontational person, and i know i should have asked up front, but also, I think i could have noticed something funny with whatever that fare counter was doing (how did it get to 210 so fast?)

we were on the street with all the luggage so i just paid it thinking maybe some cabs are really that expensive in warsaw. But later i took a Bolt ride which was a fraction of that price, which was the final confirmation how bad i got scammed.

hello everyone, please help out a desperate ice hockey fan out!
i’ve just moved to Warsaw for my study abroad, and i’m wondering if there’s any valid ice hockey team in warsaw or in the towns nearby, so i can attend a game or two when possible… any recommendations of teams/locations/pr anything are appreciated :)))

Hey guys, what are the unwritten Rules That Decide If someone belongs to Poland?

I don’t know if I had some snacks and shared , would she attack or bite? I love squirrels.

me and my friends (early twenties) are here until thursday, wondering if anyone has any recommendations for bars or clubs that are good on a weeknight?

Does the university of Warsaw let students arrive late , and I mean too late like not 2-3 weeks

Specifically the faculty of philosophy, can we arrive in December, I know that sounds too much and the answer is plausibly in favour of it being not possible

Yet I still have some hope , like imagine they accept or let people follow the course online etc

why are the food delivery riders like glovo, bolt and all are so reckless, i almost got hit today because he stopped abruptly after speeding at full speed. What is this behaviour, isn't there anything you can do by law for an almost hit? This was in a residential place too btw, right Infront the entrance to my residence

W systemie ESKS typ pokoju, który mi przyznano, jest opisany jako "sam. 1-os.", prawdopodobnie jest to też pokój przystosowany. Czy znaczy to, że będzie tam jakiś aneks kuchenny, czy to opisuje tylko to, że nie jest on w segmencie i ma własną łazienkę? Nie jestem w stanie znaleźć żadnych informacji ani na stronach z recenzjami akademików, ani na stronie PW. Wszelka pomoc/pomysły bardzo mile widziane❤️

Hi people of r/warsaw ! I'll be moving to Warsaw soon from Prague and there are something I'd like to know before moving there.

I'm a mildly aviation enthusiast(civil aviation) and I've seen posts made by the Czech MFA warning people no photos permitted for railway/military and key infrastructure stuff here in Poland. I do wonder if planespotting plus taking photos at Chopin is allowed(As much as I'd like to do a bit fo planespotting in Modlin I think that's not possible, lawfully speaking).

Also I'm into arcades, specifally maimai. What I've learnt from the internet is that within the Warsaw metro area there's no maimai machines and within the whole of Poland there are only a few of those in Krakow. Would anyone be kind enough to verify the information here b/c as a rather big city here in this region I'd be damned if there isn't a washing machine-like arcade thing in the whole of Warsaw.

Thanks in advance and hopefully I'll be in the heart of Poland soon!

I just visited Warsaw a few weeks ago and I can't shake the feeling of disappointment at how underwhelming the food was.

Context: I am an American, born and raised. My grandparents were Polish immigrants (both passed away before I was born). My mom grew up on traditional Polish food cooked at home, which was passed on to my childhood.

Expectations: I knew that the pierogi I would get in Poland would be different than the Mrs. T's "pierogies" [sic] that I am used to. I know that pączki are not exactly a one-to-one with the American jelly doughnuts I'm used to. ***I knew there would be differences***

I am generally wary of tourist traps and prefer to visit places off the beaten path. I tried to visit a variety of restaurants, milk bars, bakeries, and other eating establishments. Some in central Warsaw (near PKIN), in Old Town, Mokotów, and Ochota.

All of the pierogi that I had (ruskie) seemed to be lacking in flavor. They were hearty, and did taste good... but it just didn't knock my socks off. All of the pastries that I had seemed to be beleaguered by a general staleness. Not just that the item had been sitting on a shelf for a few hours, but rather sitting on shelf for a few days. This goes for items I got at Żabka, bakeries, and cafes. Mr. Pancake seemed like it would be the most delicious pancakes I've ever had, but they were basically inedible.

I don't want to be all doom and gloom about the food because some of what I had was genuinely delicious. Żabka hotdogs, zapiekanka, and a few non-Polish foods were all incredible.

And I guess what I want to accomplish from this post is to determine a few things. For other American tourists that have gone to Warsaw, is this common? For those that live in Poland, did I just have a streak of bad luck in restaurant selection and tend to hit bad ones? Also for Poles, is the food in Warsaw just not the best in Poland? If so, what cities have better food?

Is it worth to buy today an apartment for ~13500 zl prr sq meter in Praga Warszawa?

Hi everyone,

I paid tuition fees to a university in Poland, but unfortunately my visa application was refused. I’m supposed to receive a refund, but the university has stopped responding to my messages, and I’m struggling to get an update from abroad.

I’m looking for someone based in Poland who speaks Polish and could help contact them on my behalf, either by phone or, if practical, by visiting the university.

I’m offering €300, payable once you get a clear, substantive response from the university about my refund. We would agree beforehand on what counts as that response so there’s no misunderstanding.

I can share the university’s name, city, and relevant correspondence privately. I’m only asking for polite, professional follow-up to find out where my refund stands and what needs to happen next.

If you’re interested, please DM me with your location and whether you have any relevant experience. Recommendations for someone reliable are also welcome.

Thanks!

I’ve been living in Warsaw for two years after moving from Belarus, and I’ve noticed something. Polish-language bookstores have quite a lot of books about Russia, both about the Soviet period and modern Russia. There are also many translations of Russian classics, such as Dostoevsky, and quite a few books about Poland’s relations with Ukraine.

When it comes to Belarus, though, I’ve only seen a handful of books. Usually they are about old noble estates located in what is now Belarus. At the same time, I don’t think I’ve ever come across a translated book by a contemporary Belarusian author, and I’ve seen very few books about modern Belarus in general.

So I’m curious why that is. Is modern Belarus simply not very interesting to Polish readers, or is it more a matter of publishers, translations, and the book market?

i just wanna ask… WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK???!!! did anybody else have this issue with them? we’ve stayed a good amount of time, they were always changing sheets automatically…. we’ve sent them an email, that we were not informed about this when we payed(we’re payin’ weekly), they just replied that they forwarded this to housekeeping manager… this is in warsaw, poland where i stay with my husband(but we’re lookin’ for something more long term) for now. we’ve never did anythin’ wrong, but clearly somebody doesn’t like us…

Can you buy just the case where you put your contact lenses in? I forgot my contact lens case but not the contact lens solution.

Hey guys, I want to find out what poles and foreigners think of the so called influencers, and youtubers that talk about polish culture, news etc ...do you think they are a net benefit or a negative ?

for foreigners: what would like to hear from these influencers ?
for poles: these influencers do they share a real image of Poland ?

Thank you much

Hi everyone, we’ve got a flight coming up from Budapest to the US with a 5.5-hour layover at Chopin Airport (departing Warsaw at 7:30 pm).

We’re on non-Schengen passports, so we'll need to clear passport control. Realistically, is 5.5 hours enough time to take the train into the city for a quick meal or walk around, or is that pushing it with US flight security queues?

Also, does WAW have active luggage storage/lockers inside the terminal for hand baggage, or are we better off carrying it?

Appreciate any quick advice or recent experience!
