Beaches in Warsaw

Not many people associate Warsaw with beaching - but it's possible! Along the Vistula boulevards, we have many beaches and they're quite close to the Old Town! We can reach one by ferry, which stops at the Boulevards in the Old Town - this is the Praga City Beach, and the other is a 30-minute walk from the Old Town along the Vistula Boulevards - this is Żoliborz Beach.
