Praga-South (Praga-Południe) is one of the fastest-growing districts of Warsaw. According to the British newspaper „The Independent”, it is one of the best districts to live in Europe.

The name Praga comes from the word “prażyć” (to burn) and originally referred to a settlement on burned forest land. The first settlements and villages in what is now Praga-Południe were established in the 11th-14th centuries. In 1656, battles with the Swedes took place in this area. The district includes territories that were incorporated into Warsaw between the 18th and 20th centuries. In the 1920s and 1930s, modernist architecture (or functionalism) developed rapidly here. An interesting part of the district is Saska Kępa, known for its villa-style buildings typical of the 1920s and 1930s. Since the 1960s, the area has been divided into Praga-South (Praga-Południe) and Praga-North (Praga-Północ). Until 1994, Praga-South (Praga-Południe) also included the areas of today’s districts of Rembertów and Wawer. In 2002, the district gained its current shape following an administrative reform.

The area is characterized by diverse architecture and dynamic development. New residential buildings, cultural facilities, and social initiatives are emerging here. The district combines residential, business, and entertainment functions. Saska Kępa and Kamionek stand out, where you can find the PGE Narodowy stadium, Poniatówka beach, and the Wedel chocolate factory, which is why people say that “Parag-South (Praga-Południe) smells like chocolate.” In recent years, there has been rapid residential development, particularly in Gocław, which is transforming into a self-sufficient town.

Praga-South (Praga-Południe) is well connected to the rest of Warsaw thanks to an extensive network of trams, buses, and the second metro line station, which opened in 2015. The transportation infrastructure is dynamically developing, with new roads and transport lines being built. The district is home to the Warszawa Wschodnia railway station. The area offers numerous cycling routes, especially in Gocław and Saska Kępa. Popular paths run along Wał Miedzeszyński, through the Łazienkowski Bridge, and along the Warsaw Battle Trail leading to Radzymin.

The district offers a rich culinary scene with cozy cafes and restaurants in Saska Kępa, Grochów, and Gocław. You can taste dishes from around the world and enjoy delicious coffee and cakes. Numerous new venues and pubs also attract residents from the left bank of the Vistula (Wisła) River, especially during summer festivals. For shopping, you can visit malls such as Atrium Promenada, Galeria Rondo Wiatraczna, Centrum Handlowe Gocław, and King Cross. Local markets are also popular, including Bazar Szembeka and Bazarek Egipska.

In Praga-South (Praga-Południe), there are NFZ clinics, public hospitals, as well as private medical facilities and numerous pharmacies. Some of them offer 24-hour healthcare services. The main hospitals are Szpital Grochowski, the Military Medical Institute (Wojskowy Instytut Medyczny), and the Children’s Hospital (Szpital Dziecięcy). The issue of smog occurs mainly in winter, but the air quality is gradually improving.

This area is distinguished by a large number of green spaces located in every part of the district. With numerous parks, squares, and outdoor gyms, it attracts fans of an active lifestyle and nature. A popular spot is Park Skaryszewski with Kamionkowskie Lake (Jezioro Kamionkowskie), considered one of the most beautiful parks in Poland. On the outskirts of the district, there is the Olszynka Grochowska nature reserve with a battle monument. Along Aleja Wedla, the Polish-German Gardens (Ogrody Polsko-Niemieckie) are being developed as a joint investment by the German Embassy and the Warsaw authorities.

The district is developing its educational base by offering many educational institutions, including nurseries, kindergartens, renowned high schools (licea) (e.g., named after Adam Mickiewicz and Bolesław Prus), and higher education institutions such as the University of Social Psychology (Szkoła Wyższa Psychologii Społecznej) and the School of Computer Science (Wyższa Szkoła Informatyki). In Gocław, a modern “three-in-one” („trzy w jednym”) facility was built, combining a nursery, kindergarten, and senior club. The area also offers a rich sports infrastructure, including the National Stadium (Stadion Narodowy), swimming pools, sports halls, tennis courts, and the Yacht Club Polski marina, promoting an active lifestyle.

Praga-South (Praga-Południe) is expanding its cultural offerings with venues such as the Cultural Promotion Center (Centrum Promocji Kultury), Prom Kultury Saska Kępa, and the Senior Culture Club (Klub Kultury Seniora). Numerous concerts and festivals are organized there. The Cinema City in the Atrium Promenada shopping center offers movie screenings, Prom Kultury Saska Kępa hosts performances for children, and Terminal Kultury Gocław organizes comedy shows and offers stand-up performances and cabarets. The district also has many libraries, theaters, a music center, and dance parties on Grochowska Street. MORE
