A 2-hour guided walk that leads you into Praga to discover preserved prewar architecture, street art and the district’s multicultural corners — a concise guide to Warsaw’s lesser-known right‑bank.
Follow the White Rabbit: An Alternative Walk through Praga.
Embark on a compact, 2-hour exploration of Praga, Warsaw’s once‑separate right‑bank district. This guided walk moves through neighborhoods that survived the Second World War largely intact and were for decades considered a no‑go zone; today the route reveals preserved architecture, street art, backyards, marketplaces and the multicultural traces of Catholic, Orthodox and Jewish life.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Architecture that survived the war
Praga’s buildings stand out because much of the district was largely unharmed during the Second World War, giving the walk an uncommon continuity of prewar urban fabric.
Multicultural places of worship and street trade
On the walk you’ll see Catholic, Orthodox and Jewish places of worship alongside active street trade — a compact portrait of Praga’s multicultural heritage.
Street art, backyards and the so‑called ‘Hollywood ghetto’
Expect dilapidated buildings and inner courtyards, bold street art and gritty corners such as the area nicknamed the 'Hollywood ghetto', plus scenes along the riverbank that locals still call wild — all part of Praga’s contrasting character.
