Praga Neighborhood

To experience a more up-and-coming side of Warsaw, visit the gentrifying neighborhood of Praga. Once considered dangerous, the artistic area is now home to some interesting attractions including the hip Soho Factory, a center with some cool shops, the Neon Museum, which has hundreds of neon signs from Cold War–era Warsaw and Warszawa Wschodnia, an industrial-chic eatery serving international cuisine like grilled octopus and risotto with porcini mushrooms. Close by is Koneser, a former vodka distillery that now houses two art galleries and a design boutique.
