3. Soak up the sun. Since Warsaw is located on the river Vistula, you can find many places to enjoy the sun and a refreshing cool breeze in the summer. You can sunbathe on one of the river’s urban beaches. We recommend a beach in the district of Saska Kempa, a charming place with plenty of white sand, deckchairs, playing fields and grills.

The recitals have been held at the Master’s Monument every year since 1959. In the picturesque surroundings of the park you can hear outstanding interpretations of Chopin’s compositions. The concerts are performed by such prominent Polish and foreign artists.

6. It’s picnic time! If you are a fan of eating outside, but don’t have time to prepare your own food, you will love Cafe Kafka, a cosy bistro located in the city centre in the trendy district of Powisle. Order a delicious snack, lie down on a deckchair outside the restaurant and enjoy the holiday atmosphere! Cafe Kafka offers 10% discount for students. The staff speaks English.
