🇵🇱 Exploring Downtown/Śródmieście | WARSAW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Downtown/Śródmieście Warsaw is a beautiful area, the buildings, the art, the trains, the trolleybuses. It's all so nice, clean, and beautiful.
I aimlessly walk around, looking at whatever my comey way. Warsaw doesn't disappoint.

I just want to appreciate your effort to learn about Polish history and language. You came here not so long ago and already know pretty much! It is sad that your opportunity to explore Poland came in such circumstances, but I hope that you will find at least a little joy here.
It's been great, to be honest I don't know if there could be a better place to have come than right here. Very glad we chose Warsaw, and looking forward to seeing much more ))
Gorgeous Warsaw. Glad you’re finding energy to explore. Hope Warsaw treats you well. Good luck and take care of yourself.
Great video and content
Hello Poland we miss this place,, hope back to normal already so that we can return there,, thanks for sharing this beautiful place,, a sound of birds,,just enjoyed your tour ,, have a happy day stay safe God bless.
You mean the Ukraine war?
I like your videos, good job. Pozdrowienia z Warszawy :)
Varshava Shroodmeeshche 👌🏽
that was a pretty good "dzień dobry" ;)
Dziękuję! 😊
nice video - greetings from Krakow
You said very good Warszawa Śródmieście ! You are very nice person! Very humble?warm emotional!
🙏🏻
Love it! Thanks for sharing Warsaw with us
🙏🏻
I like watchin foreigners discover my lovely city. My advice to you is to take ppl advice , make a list of recommended places and definitely go n visit them all. U wont regret. Looking forward to c rest of the city. Enjoy
Awesome video! It's amazing to see my city through the eyes of someone who's just beginning to explore. I'm very sorry about the situation you find yourself in now, but I am sure everything will work out just fine for you!
I'm from Berlin and I've been to Poland a few times already (on vacation). Do you plan to stay in Warsaw for now or will you use the time to travel to other cities as well? If so then I can really recommend visiting Gdansk, Wroclaw, Poznan, Krakow and Zakopane (Polish "Swiss"). Poland does not have any real metropolises like the USA, Canada or Germany, for example), but the density of particularly beautiful cities is very high for the size of the country. I really liked that when I was there. Anyway: Have fun and stay safe!
Thank you, yes I plan to move around and see as much of this fine country as I can while I'm here! I'll be making many more Poland videos in the future!
@@bryce.walker There are no trolleybuses driving in Warsaw. Trolleybuses were cancelled in 1995.
Warsaw is a real metropolis
Silesian Metropolis is a valid shout I'd say
Do you know how looked Warsaw metropolis after visit germans in 1945?!? USA, Canada and of course fkn germany...
Thank You so much for beautiful videos of Poland, glad you're enjoy your stay in Warsaw. Please keeping posting. God bess You stay safe.
Thanks I'm glad you're liking them, more soon!
11:29 - it's not a prison! It's a building of Warsaw Water Filtering system. Sometimes it's possible to do a sightseeing tour, but it's rare occasion.
Also, the building at 5:55 is the Varso Tower. Recently completed. Now the tallest building in the European Union. (Although not even in the Top 100 in the world).
Warsaw has a great skyline 🔥
You said that pretty good 👍👊🏻
Just a thought , Warszawa -Warsa sound like sow war !!! Nice walk nice view ,but it’s hard to have a piece of mind while you brothers fight !
Varsovians. ;) Btw... don't miss the Park Łazienki Królewskie (Royal Baths Park).
Dzień dobry ☀️
11:14 - Warsaw Water Filters, also known as Lindley's Filters (Polish - "Filtry Lindleya") is one of three Warsaw waterworks, and is located in Ochota between Koszykowa, Krzywickiego, Filtrowa and Raszyńska streets. The waterworks was finished in 1886 using William Lindley's design. Since 1973, Warsaw Filters has been on the antiquities list.
have good time in warsaw 💪😀
Cheers man!
Canadians are very brave people! They know how to fight for freedom as we can see it in Ottawa! Stay strong! 💪👏😉
have a good time in Warsaw 💪😀
The places I would recommend are:
1. Zamek Krolewski - Royal Palace
2. Palac Kultury i Nauki - Palace of Culture and Science (characteristic cubic structure, perfectly visible from a distance)
3. Centrum Nauki Kopernik - Copernicus Science Centre (supposedly closed on Mondays, I do not know how it is now)
4. Cmentarz Powazkowski - The Powazki Cemetery (beautiful historical graves, tombs, catacombs, mostly famous people are buried here)
5. Palac w Wilanowie - Wilanow Palace (unfortunately I have not been there, but it is said to be very beautiful)
6. Lazienki Park - Lazienki Park
7. Grob Nieznanego Zolnierza - Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
8. If you feel like it, you can go to Zelazowa Wola to see Friderick Chopin's birthhouse.
It's better to take some kind of map, it really comes in handy, or find out if there are guided tours organized.
Thanks I will check them out 👍🏻
"Warszawa śródmieście" - that was pretty good (not perfect so there is still place for improvement ;) Keep up the good work. And stay safe. :)
Great done video. These filters are still working! ;) All the best for You! ;)
Try to relax in Lazienki Park ? Truly amazing for walk and forget about everything!
Dzień dobry welcome in Poland And enjoy ! 🇨🇦🤝🇵🇱
Dziękuję bardzo!
💙💛Dzień dobry z Warszawy🧡❤ 🤍❤
Pozdrawiam 🇵🇱✌😄
Greetings to you! :)
Thanks for visiting my capital of country. I hope you enjoyed it!
Sure have enjoyed it! Very much, great city.
Hi Bryce ! Excellent video from beautiful Warsaw town - I’m truly flabbergasted how nice the city is -you should visit “Lazienki Royal Park” with Chopin iconic statue ,Museum of Illusion,Museum of Warsaw Uprasing,Wilanow Royal Castle and Park - this is my recommendation.Good Luck for You and Family! Greetings from Chicago🇺🇦❤️
😅🤟Kochani jesteście. Czujcie się jak u siebie. "Gość w dom, Bóg w dom!" Pamiętajcie, nigdy mimo tylu najazdów, wojen, niewoli i nieszczęść nie utraciliśmy naszej tożsamości i nie padliśmy na kolana. FREEDOM FOR UA!🤍❤️💙💛
Bardzo szanuję Polaków i ich niesamowity honor i odwagę. Niech Bóg błogosławi Polskę!
11:09 That's the city water filtration system. The name of the neighbourhood you were in is called "Filtry" in the Ochota district.
Beautiful city for sure My flat is at Nowy Swiat and Swietokryska Streets
That's a great area to be 👍🏻
If you can make it there, go to Pilsudski Square and see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Poland is planning on rebuilding the Saxon Palace. There is also the Warsaw Uprising monument.
I'm planning a more sombre and respectful video soon that will include those sites, stay tuned! :)
@@bryce.walker Will do.
Check out the new university library with a top deck. Nice views of Old Town. Also, see Chopin Museum and Bath Gardens (Łazienki). I also highly recommend a trip to Krakow! Best of luck and welcome to my country brother!
You definetly should go to see Warsaw Uprising Museum
Regards from Poland
How amezing you both are thank you for talking about my home city in very kind worlds we love you and your family . Enjoy and I'm happy you are safe together . Chwała Ukrainie
it's a pity that he didn't show the streets of Śródmieście Południowe (centre south) in this part of the center there are a lot of pre-war tenement houses (ul. Hoża, Mokotowska, Poznańska and many more) I hope you will come back to Warsaw, and as for the area around the Palace of Culture, it awaits major revitalization, several new skyscrapers are already under construction and more are in the approved or planned phase, what can I say, there is still a lot to do in the city, but Warsaw is developing well :)
I missed a lot, I know, but I will return to cover more places in the future 👍🏻
You are very welcome in Poland 👍 and your girlfriend too
Thank you!
The "prison"-like place is Warsaw municipal waterworks :-)
Those eight sisters buildings were based on American Art Deco Skyscrapers, if it makes you feel better, you can look at it as a symbol of soviet fauilure to produce anything original of their own, the best they could do is copy America :)
As a Polish person I find it so cute when you talk in Polish 🥺🙈😆🤣
I'm working on it! 😅
I recommend Praga to you, it has some old buildings (some of them still have bullet holes from WWII). It used to have a bad reputation here, but nowadays it's safe :). There's also interesting socrealist architecture at pl. Hallera (not many people know it and it's not a tourist place, but I think it's worth seeing!).
I would be very interested in this, I'll go to Praga soon! Do you know the places where the bullet holes are?
its not a prison. it is vintage water filters 😅
It's a prison! It's a castle! No! It's a water filtration plant!
@@bryce.walker Poland will surprise many moments in the future. 😉😃😀
sour taste in the mouth when thinking of soviet/Russian? You're becoming Eastern European. And fast.
God bless you.
Great video of a city I love very much will be back there in 2 weeks
Thankyou
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦🇵🇱
Glory to the Heroes!🇺🇦. Yes Warsaw is a fine city indeed 🇵🇱
Actually all Warsaw was leveled by the Germans during World War II. The old buildings in Old City Warsaw we're rebuild by Polish people after WWII using the old photographs and paintings we recreated that part of city.
Dont be guilty leaving Ukraine. You dont need to fight to help. There is so many options. U did what u need to do and staying alive can help Ukraine on so many levels :)
śródmieście = shrood myesh chye (not quite, because there's no equivalent of ś and ć in English, but closer to what you thought)
It's interesting you decided to wander around a not that interesting area of Warszawa. If you went into another direction you would have ended up in Stare Miasto - the Old Town. How long are you planning to stay in Warszawa? If you have time, you really should visit and definitely see the King's Castle and the exhibit of how the Nazis burned and bombed the castle and then the history and the struggle to rebuild it.
You sound like you like history, and if that's true, you might like the Warsaw Museum in the Old Town Square at Rynek Starego Miasta 28-42. Also go past Barbikan and walk around the New Town (founded around 1408). My American friends that visited Warszawa with me in 2018 laughed when I told them the New Town is from the 15th century. Once you're done with the Stare and Nowe Miasto, you might enjoy a walk down Krakowskie Przedmieście and Nowy świat.
I'm really impressed with the fact that you looked up the history of the Palace. Once you feel you can visit it, go to the viewing deck up on top with nice views, though you can also get nice views from Taras Widokowy na dzwonnicy kościoła św. Anny at Krakowskie Przedmieście 68.
The garden on the rooftop of the library of Uniwersytet Warszawski at ul. Dobra 56/66 also has nice views, and the library is right next to Bulwary Wiślane - Vistula Boulevards, another nice place for a walk. I haven't watched all of your videos so I don't know how old your girlfriend's son is, but if he's old enough to enjoy a Museum of Science, Centrum Nauki Kopernik - Copernicus Science Centre is across the street from the library. Ukrainian refugees can get in for free, I think.
By the way, the people of Warszawa are called Warszawiacy.
(edit - I just noticed you've already been to the Old Town :) Sorry. Going to watch it right now.)
Warszawa Śródmieście sounded really legit 👍 if you don’t mind let me suggest two hot spots in Warsaw:
1. Vistula embankment near Centrum Nauki Kopernik metro station + EC Powiśle
2. Browary Warszawskie + Fabryka Norblina + if you like Warsaw Rising Museum nearby
Enjoy Poland!
And the most important: glory to Ukraine ❤️🇺🇦
Thank you! I will check those places out for sure! And Slava Ukraini!!
@@bryce.walker You can see the Warsaw Uprising Museum. You won't understand this city without this visit. You must see Łazienki Królewskie, this is the park and the Wilanów Palace. It is the only palace that has not been damaged during the war. 🙂
It's not a prison in Koszykowa st. They are "filters". It is a complex of buildings and installations providing drinking water for Warsaw. They were built in the years 1881/1883 according to the design of the architect William Lindley, a Londoner.
👍🤗
11:17 its Warsaw Filters, where Water for city is filtered.
we invite you to Gdańsk. the largest old town in Poland. the largest churches. historical monuments. mazajki too, but you have to look for it a lot
Soon, I will see your city very soon 👍🏻
Hi , we do have a lot of metalheads in Poland but not so much goths😀
🤘🏻😆🤘🏻
11:15 we call it „filtry” in English filters, place where they produce, prepare water for Warsaw ppl:)
Being Canadian is not a bad thing at all. While, in some people's eyes, North America doesn't have the history or culture of Europe, the US and Canada have a three thousand mile border that is completely unarmed and can easily be crossed. Nor is either country going to invade the other.
You can trafił through 95% of Europe ..you can travel throgh all eu countries without stoping at borders..without showing any papers..without pasports.. it is so called Shengen zone.... that is far better than north America . You can see few thousends castles and dozens thousends palaces and few thousends years of human kind history.
That is pretty great 👍🏻
During the commie era Warsaw was dirty grey depressing city. After only a couple decades without soviet supervision the city is blossoming. That's why Poles are extremely reserved toward Russia - nothing good ever happened to us from this country.
No, not a single positive thing. Ever. My great grandfather left Russian occupied Warsaw as a teenager during the Partition.
@@Sabakinno Lepiej być pieskiem Unii niż świnią Putina, ruski trollu.
That walls is not a prisson but watter pomp filter
Here is how you pronounce Downtown (Shrood meeash chea).
Thank you!
The church tower has no roof, because German troops badly damaged the church during the siege of Warsaw in 1939, and then nearly complety destroyed it during and after the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 (when they first expelled the remaining civilians and then demolished 90% of buildings in Warsaw, using explosives and flamethrowers). Reconstruction of the church took about 15 years, but the roof was not (re)built.
Very interesting, thank you!
Hala Koszyki / Elektrownia Powisle / Browary Warszawskie and Fabryka Norblin (next one to the other one) / Praski Koneser (in Praga) / courtyeards in Praga with their Madonnas / Fotoplastikon
This type of building (like PKiN and other in Russia) was purchased by Russia from USA as license.
In Polish, the ó is like u. And o is like regular o. So pronouncing Śródmieście as Śrudmieście would be a way to think about it. Also, ł sounds w (like the w in the word wet) and not l or t.
So I completed butchered it then 😅. I'll get better 👌🏻
Hi, just to be more specific - not much as "u" but you need to pronaunce "ó" like double "o" - "oo" in english. "u" and "ó" sounds the same in polish and you make a sound of double "o" :) but I'm really impressed by your willing to learn and your level of knowlegde of polish culture and history of Warsaw. I'm pretty sure some of polish people learned few things from your movies ;) But it's completly fine. Hope you will have only such beautiful memories from Poland! Stay safe!
Thank you, I'm working on it! I'll improve 👍🏻
Now You know that sour taste that we Poles have for over 200 years. Fun fact the "Achtung Russia" banner, caused scandal few years ago "because Russia have changed, and we should move past the bad experiences"
We were heavily experienced by russ "civilization" over centuries. That is why we support Ukraine despite what they did to us in 1944 (Wolyn masacre).
Going around for all you videos, pushing likes-) Yeah. We will win Слава Україні
Героям Слава!
As for the Palace of C&S dispute, i really hope that the building will survive. Yes, it was a stump, but Stalin is long gone and the building is now our own to use as we like. Instead of trying to erase the part of your history, why not benefit from it and turn it all in your favor? I don't like the idea of being like those "smart" russians who are smashing their Apple tablets with a hammer as a sign of so called "protest against the sanctions". The only effect is that now you're left without a tablet. Let's not be that dumb, please.
I agree, I hope it stands for a long time.
I am one of those people who want the "Palace of Culture and Science" to be razed to the ground! Natural born Varsavian, born in '72.
BTW: Been to Canada (especially to Toronto) many times for many months each time. My mom lived there since '84. So... I love Canadians (same as they loved me and the Poles!)! Greetings from Praga Południe!
P,S,: "Warszawa Śródmieście" - no, you didn't say it right, but close enough! :D Proud of ya! ; ]
BTW 2: If it's gonna happen, when you see a guy wearing a '69 Veitnam War OG-107 jungle combat jacket (oryginal! :D) walking down the street - catch me and say hi! :D ; ]
BTW 3: "Stacja Filtórw": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Water_Filters You're welcome!
Oh, I'm a new subscriber :)
If you see me wandering your beautiful city feel free to say hello! Cheers and thank you :)
@@bryce.walker I will! ; ]
3:35 noo, most of older Varsovian hate this place, young people dont know all history of socialism, Stalin , communist Party in Poland
A frequently repeated joke in Warsaw
Favorite place of Varsovians for meetings?
The terrace of the thirtieth floor of the Palace - because the Palace itself cannot be seen from there
🤣👌🏻. I'll use that in an upcoming video, good joke.
not a prison, water reservoir
Stalins gift -HAHAHA! Poles had to pay for it build it themselves. Some fu**ing gift.
I see you understand sarcasm
Polish is not Ukrainian with latin letters, but Ukrainian is Russian with Polish (or Old Polish) words 😉
Could you imagine that 7000000 Ukrainians will pass through Poland?
That saved millions of lives
I hope that Bryce will not mind me touching upon a painful matter in Polish-Ukrainian history - the slaughter of Polish civilians by Ukrainian nationalists. What I am curious about is if regular everyday Ukrainians consider it a shameful crime or they justified it in their mind? Since there is a large Ukrainian community in Canada, what do Ukrainian Canadians think about it?
Someone could say that it is not the best time to bring it up, but I think that there will never be a good time to talk about it. The fact that this matter was never settled, makes it a proverbial ‘elephant in the room’. Also, I think that even if most Ukrainians don’t have any sympathy for women and children that the OUN/UPA fighters killed, they still deserve help they receive in Poland.
I'd prefer a Ukrainian answer this question for you, someone who knows all the aspects of the history and had a dog in the fight.
@@bryce.walker The reason that I asked you is that I wanted hear a neutral opinion. A Ukrainian can tell me what he or she thinks about it, but I wanted to know what most Ukrainians think of that. If a Ukrainian will tell me what Ukrainians think of the issue, such opinion will be tainted by his/her personal views. Yours wouldn’t. Besides, bringing it up with Ukrainians would inevitably put them on the defensive.
I just realized that it may put you in a bind. Never mind!
@@bryce.walker I appreciate your open mind. Good luck in learning history!
Thanks, I appreciate the conversation and thanks for watching my videos 🤘🏻
6:38 It was already very offensive. Like German to English. Polish and Ukrainian belong to two different groups of the Slavic language.
