Wola [1] is a district of Warsaw. The word wola means "willingness" in Polish. It has traditionally been the industrial district of Warsaw but this is now changing as it is rapidly becoming the commercial center of the city. Wola is further divided into Mirów, Nowolipki (adjacent to Muranów in Śródmieście), Powązki, Młynów, Czyste, Odolany, Ulrychów and Koło.

This museum will almost certainly not bore anyone, especially with the museum's superb use of multimedia. The museum has bilingual displays in Polish and English. The museum does a good job of explaining the perceived history of the insurgents and the Uprising in the years following the Second World War. If you go on Sunday, they have chapel services at 12:30PM.</see>

Here, the baristas have mastered the art of coffee and fail to overlook even the most minuscule details - even serving you a glass of water with your coffee and a chocolate. Kultura also serves food and alcohol, albeit, its selection of alcohol is a tad limited.</drink>

Grzybowska" phone="+48 (0/22) 654 71 41" phoneextra="" tollfree="" email="" fax="" url="http://www.club70.pl" hours="" hoursextra="" price="Entrance ranges from free to roughly zł 20 or so. Drinks are a bit on the expensive side with 0.5 liter of beer costing zł 10" lat="" long="" tags="Club">Club 70 is a really well done club – the music is a decent mix of 70's and 80's music, bouncers aren't as hardcore as bouncers at other clubs, and the dedication of the management to fun clubbing makes Club 70 one of the best clubs in Warsaw. If you call Monday - Friday between 10AM - 6PM, you can make reservations. </drink>
  • <drink name="Ice Club" alt="" address="ul. Pańska 61" directions="About a minute's walk from Rondo ONZ. Ul. Pańska runs parallel to ul.

  • <drink name="Piekarnia" alt="" address="ul. Młocińska 11" directions="Near the Arkadia shopping mall.

For the most part, the club is hit or miss and probably won't be a very memorable night out, unless you're one of the people half-engaged in intercourse on the sofas. </drink>
