Śródmieście [1], meaning roughly the Inner City, is the central district of Warsaw. Although it constitutes a mere 3% of the city area, it is the most important part of Warsaw in every aspect. It is further divided into the Old Town (Stare Miasto), New Town (Nowe Miasto), Muranów, Powiśle, Solec, Ujazdów and Śródmieście proper - north and south.

Warsaw's Śródmieście district in dark red.

• Most bus and tram routes pass through Śródmieście.

•  M ,  Politechnika,  Centrum,  Świętokrzyska,  Ratusz  and  Dw. Gdański are located in Śródmieście.

• So are the railway stations Dworzec Centralny (for long-distance trains) and Dworzec Śródmieście (for suburban trains and Warsaw Commuter Railway).

• Dworzec Centralny is also a big bus terminus. Note that the stops are named either Dw. Centralny or E. Plater but they are really just next to each other.

• Main streets parallel to Vistula: Wyb. Kościuszkowskie and Wyb. Gdańskie - more often referred to as Wisłostrada, ul. Solec, ul. Marszałkowska, al. Niepodległości-ul. Chałubińskiego-al.Jana Pawła II, ul. Raszyńska

• Main streets perpendicular to Vistula: al. Armii Ludowej - more often referred to as Trasa Łazienkowska, Al. Jerozolimskie, ul. Tamka-ul. Świętokrzyska-ul. Prosta, al. Solidarności, ul. Słomińskiego

For sightseeing purposes, Śródmieście is divided here into these areas: Old Town, Royal Road, Contemporary Center and Jewish Quarter. The Highlights section below is to help you prioritize the sights - only the most important are listed there. More sights are listed in the itineraries for their respective areas. This does not apply to museums and parks, which are listed further below.

[edit] Highlights

• <see name="Palace of Culture and Science" alt="Palac Kultury i Nauki" address="plac Defilad" directions="" phone="" phoneextra="" tollfree="" email="" fax="" url="http://www.pkin.waw.pl" hours="Open Daily 9AM-6PM" hoursextra="" price="Amission to the observation deck: zł 18/12" lat="" long="" tag="Landmark">Probably the most recognizable building in the entirety of Warsaw, the Palace of Culture and Science looks completely out of place amongst the modern skyscrapers. Built in the 1950s as a "gift" to the Polish people by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin the building elicits mixed feelings from Poles - on one hand, the building is an interesting and has a controversial beautiful architectural style, however, the building was built by the man who helped Hitler rape the Polish countryside, then continued a campaign of senseless murders of the Poles when the Soviet-Nazi Germany relations soured. Today, the building is home to a movie theater, museum, restaurant, and college. Visitors can take an elevator to an observation deck, which provides a great view of Warsaw. </see>

• Constitution Square (pl. Konstytucji), a part of Marszałkowska Residential District (Marszałkowska Dzielnica Mieszkaniowa or MDM) from the 1950s, lots of Stalin-style architecture.

After Poland regained its independence in 1990 the references to the Polish-Soviet War was again added to the memorial. </see>

It's really much more trouble than it's worth. Underground is, despite being a very popular club, quite frankly a terrible club. The managers seem to have sacrificed quality over profit. Just a few of the problems – overcrowded, if you came here to dance, you'll actually spend more time apologizing for bumping into people than dancing; long lines to get in on the weekend and if you need to check a coat, this could take up to 30 minutes, because of the lines; also, the bouncers are the laziest people on Earth and will not intervene in fights outside their clubs, even if their customers are being attacked. If you are considering going, it'd be better to just skip Underground and go somewhere else. </drink>

The DJ's taste in music may vary throughout the night, so expect different beats if you arrive early and stay late.</drink>

The atmosphere is fun and gets very lively with the crowd going all out with their grooving to the Arabic tunes. On occasion, you'll be privileged to hired belly dancers. Marrakesh's clientèle is, more often than not, a cut above the rest of Warsaw's clubs' clientèle, which means the party is more likely to remain respectable. Guests can toke up on some excellent sheesha for 20 zł a pop. Drinks cost about the same as other decent clubs. </drink>

On occasion, Tygmont has a weird atmosphere and can be disappointing. There are nights when one floor will be dedicated to hip hop, which seems completely out of place, while the other is dedicated to musicians playing obscenely loud music. If the club brought the decibels down, it would be near perfect.</drink>
