The May holiday weekend is the perfect time to rediscover the charm of Poland's capital. Warsaw offers plenty of opportunities for active recreation, cultural experiences, and culinary adventures. Here are our suggestions for an unforgettable May weekend in the heart of Poland.
1. Relaxation in Royal Łazienki Park
The May sunshine encourages spending time outdoors. Royal Łazienki Park is an ideal place for a walk among nature awakening to life. The park delights not only with lush greenery but also with historic pavilions and sculptures. It's worth planning a visit on Sunday afternoon to listen to a Chopin concert by the composer's monument – a tradition that returns in May after the winter break.
2. Cruise on the Vistula River with a View of the City Panorama
Warsaw seen from the perspective of the Vistula River takes on a completely new dimension. Tourist boat cruises are an excellent opportunity to admire the capital's most important monuments from a different perspective. On board, you can enjoy drinks, listen to stories about the city's history, and simply enjoy a moment of relaxation. Evening cruises offer a particularly magical view of Warsaw's illuminated panorama.
3. Discovering Green Corners by Bicycle
Renting a city bike or an electric scooter is a great idea for actively exploring Warsaw. Cycling paths along the Vistula River, routes through Pole Mokotowskie or Skaryszewski Park allow you to combine pleasure with exercise. The spring aura and fresh greenery create a perfect backdrop for May weekend rides. You can also plan a longer trip to Kampinos National Park, which is located just outside the city limits.
4. Cultural Feast in Warsaw Museums
The May weekend is the perfect moment to catch up on cultural experiences. The Copernicus Science Centre, Warsaw Uprising Museum, or National Museum prepare special exhibitions and attractions for this period. It's worth checking the event program – many institutions offer extended opening hours and promotional tickets during this time. It's an excellent opportunity to learn about the capital's history and culture, especially if the weather doesn't cooperate.
5. Atmospheric Evening in the Old Town and a Visit to Stolica Restaurant
A perfect ending to a successful day in Warsaw would be a visit to the charming Old Town. Walking among the colorful townhouses, relaxing in the Market Square, and admiring the panorama from the viewing terrace at the Royal Castle are experiences that never fail to delight. And when dusk falls and your appetite grows, we invite you to Stolica Restaurant.
On Saturday evening, not only will you find exquisite Polish cuisine prepared with seasonal ingredients, but also an atmospheric musical setting.
