  Together with my Russian friend Darya, I had a walking tour in Sródmiescie with Łukasz.
I highly (and Darya too) recommand Łukasz's tours.
He is, of course as... read more a guide,very knowledgeable. He loves his city and shared it with us.
He showed us and commented many interesting points, courtyards, buildings, squares. And Łukasz made always sure we were happy and comfortable.
Well he is a tour guide for a reason.
Plus Łukasz gave us hints how to satisfy our thirst for knowledge if ever needed. I wont tell how exactly, you will need to book the tour to discover it by yourselves.
Thank you Łukasz for this great afternoon ! I wish you the best for your carreer and life !

  I recently took the Warsaw Ghetto Remains Tour with Lukasz and it was an absolute pleasure. Lukasz was a very engaging guide who made easy conversation and showed this part... read more of Warsaw’s history in a way that made it very real.

It covers multiple spots where you will have a chance to see WWII remains mix with the new Warsaw. Lukasz was happy to answer all questions and shared such a vast knowledge of the people, places and events of this time period. After the tour was over, I was hoping it would go on for longer! Thank you so much Lukasz!

The Family Allotment Gardens (RODs) is a movement The Family Allotment Gardens (RODs) is a movement originating in the 19th century, and it's an important part of Polish culture. The idea was developed during the communist-era on a larger scale, and today there are approximately one million allotments (Polish: działki) across the country. These are large post agricultural areas, divided into dozens or hundreds of small pieces of land, without permanent residency rights. You can lease the right to use the land, but you can't own it. You can sell your rights to someone else, or use them for the rest of your life. Usually, each plot of land can include a simple construction, such as a shack or a tiny house, but living here is forbidden. It allows people living in big cities an opportunity to be closer to nature. Users take care of gardens, grow vegetables, and spend summer weekends there. Działki are often very well located, and in the past faced problems of modern day urban development. This one is located in the Mokotów District, where you can find some of the most expensive real estate in Warsaw. Just beyond here are busy streets, so it's like stepping into another world. . . . . . #działkarod #warszawa #warsaw #rodzinneogrodydziałkowe #localculture #allotmentlife #countrystyle #urbangardening #natureinthecity #localsonly #slowlife #igerswarsaw #instawarsaw #warszawa_miasto

This little house in the back was built around 191 This little house in the back was built around 1910 as a dyehouse of woolen fabrics. It's attached to much taller apartment houses built later, that's why it needed this long smokestack behind (pic 3) to reduce smoke from dyeing inside the courtyard.

Służew nad Dolinką (eng. Służew in the Little Służew nad Dolinką (eng. Służew in the Little Valley) is a 1970s housing estate that's different from other housing projects constructed at the time in Warsaw. It was designed by Jerzy Kuźmienko, Janusz Nowak and Piotr Sembrat. Kuźmienko wanted to create some element that would make the area original and recognizable. He came up with these odd-looking balconies, big enough to sit there at a table, having breakfast or playing bridge - quite a luxury in communist-era Poland. Dozens of three to fourteen storey buildings painted in different colours are spread irregularly among inclines and declines of the land creating orientation spots. Nowak, educated in Finland, brought the idea of symbiosis of architecture and nature that was common in Scandinavian countries. That's why the area is so green: a few thousand trees including fruit trees from orchards that once had grown on farms on this land. There are many gardens accessible from some ground-floor located apartments. The most impressive is the Dolinka Służewiecka park with a stream, ponds, footbridges, benches and recreational areas. . . . . . #warsaw #warszawa #blockofflats #localsonly #architecturegram #architecturedaily #modernistarchitecture #brutgroup #socialistmodernism #socmod #warszawskimodernizm #igerspoland #instawarszawa #wawarszawa #warszawa_miasto
