Final Warsaw chapter + BEST Polish restaurant! 

I think that after this trip you'll know Warsaw better than an average Pole does.

Lubię oglądać Twoje wycieczki gdzie kolwiek jesteś, pozdrawiam ❤🌹👍

Cześć Nynke🙂. Uwielbiam oglądać Twoje filmy patrząc na Polskę Twoimi oczami. Ostatnimi filmami sprawiłaś miłą niespodziankę gdyż pokazałaś okolice miejsca gdzie mieszkam - Piaseczno, Zalesie, Konstancin, Wilanów. Zostań z nami na zawsze i odkrywaj dla siebie, i dla nas, najpiękniejsze oblicza Polski.

A little bit behind :⁠-⁠) but I finally made it through Warsaw.

Nynke has seen places I did not even know about

Cold soup is the best summer treat🎉😊

Nynke dear, how can I thank you for this series of beautiful videos about Warsaw? From my purely subjective perspective, these are probably the most important videos you've ever made, carrying across an extremely symbolic and beautiful message. I touched upon this message in my comment to your video about your visit to the Warsaw Uprising Museum. I said in this comment that you showed Warsaw as a city of an invincible and indomitable spirit, and that those who had lost their lives in the Warsaw Uprising would be proud of their city if they could see it today. But the symbolic message you carry across goes even deeper. You may not even realize how deep it is, so let me explain. On 23rd September 1939, when the invading Germans were indiscriminately bombing Warsaw, inflicting upon it death and destruction on an unimaginable scale, the then President of Warsaw Stefan Starzyński gave a speech to the people defending the capital. Every Varsovian worth his/her salt knows, and carries in his/her heart, at least the first sentence of this speech. It is relatively short, so here it is in its entirety, first in the Polish original, followed by my translation thereof. 'Chciałem, by Warszawa była wielka. Wierzyłem, że wielką będzie. Ja i moi współpracownicy kreśliliśmy plany, robiliśmy szkice wielkiej Warszawy przyszłości. I Warszawa jest wielka. Prędzej to nastąpiło, niż przypuszczaliśmy. Nie za lat pięćdziesiąt, nie za sto, lecz dziś widzę wielką Warszawę. Gdy teraz do Was mówię, widzę ją przez okna w całej wielkości i chwale, otoczoną kłębami dymu, rozczerwienioną płomieniami ognia, wspaniałą, niezniszczalną, wielką, walczącą Warszawę. I choć tam, gdzie miały być wspaniałe sierocińce - gruzy leżą, choć tam, gdzie miały być parki - dziś są barykady gęsto trupami pokryte, choć płoną nasze biblioteki, choć palą się szpitale - nie za lat pięćdziesiąt, nie za sto, lecz dziś Warszawa broniąca honoru Polski jest u szczytu swej wielkości i chwały.' 'I wanted Warsaw to be great. I believed she would be great. I and my associates were drawing plans, we were making sketches of the great Warsaw of the future. And Warsaw is great. It happened sooner than we thought. Not in fifty years, not in a hundred, but today I see great Warsaw. When I speak to you now, I see her through the windows in all her grandeur and glory, surrounded by clouds of smoke, reddened by flames of fire, a magnificent, indestructible, great, fighting Warsaw. And although where wonderful orphanages were supposed to be - rubble lies, although where parks were supposed to be - today there are barricades thickly covered with corpses, although our libraries are burning, although hospitals are burning - not in fifty years, not in a hundred, but today, Warsaw, defending the honour of Poland, is at the peak of her greatness and glory.' /Stefan Starzyński, President of Warsaw, 23rd September 1939/ Your videos show that the dream and vision of President Starzyński and his associates, that of the first three sentences of his speech, later shared by generations of Varsovians, has actually come true. Warsaw is great. Not only with the greatness of her heroic past and the sacrifice she had to make to regain her freedom, but also, and perhaps today above all, with the greatness of everyday life. A wonderful, beautifully developing city, bursting with life and energy, remembering its past and honouring its heroes, but oriented with optimism to the future, friendly and open to the world, welcoming everyone who would like to visit it, a great place to live in. I am so proud of my city. I am thankful to the gentleman who hosted you, his input into your films cannot be overstated. And I am soooooo proud of you and thankful for everything that you do. Uściski Ninko. 🍀🥰🤗

The bridge over the Vistula river for pedestrians and bikers now under construction (7:00), is planned to be completed next spring. It will certainly be a major attraction and an appealing direct connection to the central area of the Praga district, that is of special interest because it differs from left-bank Warsaw in both urban and social aspects.

Loved it, brought back so many memories for me!

Beautiful🙂

About sand mountains : there are dunes in Kampinoski National Park, north of Warsaw (and you can get there by city bus). Sand, forest, dunes covered with forest and wild animals.

Cześć Nynke, just finished watching your latest series haha 😉...it was a pleasure to explore Warsaw with You and Robert. You must have already left Warsaw, so now I wish you wonderful adventures in Zamość...😊🍀🤗

Some more recommendations around Warsaw, though I know it is not possible to see everything. When you were in Piaseczno you should have gone to the famous Georgian restaurant in the town centre. It is easy to google it. Some good east cuisine, I think better than Polish but it is of course a matter of taste. There are also some tragic places. When you would go to Otwock. It used to be a resort before the world war II but now after communism it is not a very beautiful town. However try to visit Zofiowka there. There are ruins in a park. It used to be before and during the the war a nursing home for Jews with psychological problems. Germans for some years tolerated it but finally killed all the patients. There are still ruins in the park.

If you had seen my city 30 years ago, you would have broken down. Now it's a really nice place to live. Money money money changes everything. It is enough to develop economically, get rich and everything becomes more beautiful. In Poland, people still need to be changed to be more open, more friendly, more tolerant and helpful to others.

I recommend you the restaurant 'Stary Dom' next time. There are restaurants with Michelin stars in Poland. The 'Bottiglieria 1881' restaurant has two stars and is located in Krakow. There, Polish cuisine in a new version is served.

9:22 interesting idea for the name of the restaurant. Boleslaw Wieniawa-Dlugoszowski is a legendary figure of the interwar period known for his love of women, horses and feasts. by opponents of Sanation and in the People's Republic of Poland perceived rather as a symbol of degeneration of the Sanation elite. In 1942 he committed suicide in New York City.
