Attractions off the beaten track 20 6. Tourist traffic characteristics 24 7. Meetings industry 28 8. Warsaw’s image 32 Sources 36 Warsaw’s pulse beats to the rhythm of its residents: not only in the city centre but in all 18 districts of the capital. Each one is a mosaic of colourful vibes, authentic stories and unique tastes. Within these districts we are witnessing a revitalisation of post- industrial spaces, the development of new estates and attractions as well as the creation of business and recreation zones. The former industrial districts of Wola and Powiśle are undergoing change; the former “Koneser” vodka distillery in Praga district has transformed into a modern space where all types of outdoor events take place and are open to all. Warsaw’s residents more often spend time outside the city centre and value the variety and atmosphere of all Warsaw’s districts, and in so doing, inspire those visiting the capital to discover places off the beaten track. A popular meeting place is beside the River Vistula: one can relax here along the modern boulevards and well-kept beaches, do sport or explore the “wild” bank, which is a part of the protected “Natura 2000” network. It is easy to relax outdoors in any of Warsaw’s dozens of green squares, parks and gardens which regularly host a variety of events including the popular breakfast markets and ‘eco bazaars’, in line with the worldwide trend in health and an ecological lifestyle.

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, Every Year Around the International Museum
    Ladies and gentlemen, Every year around the International Museum Day on 18th May, a specific spectacle takes place in numerous cities in Poland and throughout Europe, initiated modestly by museums exactly. In the beginning, it aimed to promote those institutions, alter the ambiance associated with museums as places where one walks around wearing house slippers and talks in a quiet voice. The Long Night of Museums has shown just how extraordinarily interesting collections owned by these institutions can be, and how originally they may be presented. Others started to envy the success – not in terms of the turnout, but creativity and the ability to get across to the public with the seemingly difficult message behind the high culture. Due to being active in fields not associated with culture, state administration, courts, temples of various faiths, schools, services, and many, many more, wanted their share in this success. They used their chance superbly. This is the Long Night of Museums cultivated by Warsaw for over a decade now. A modest event with participation of 11 museums evolved into an enormous, logistically developed happening encompassing Warsaw and its surroundings. Every institution participating in the project wants to present itself in an original, unique way. They encourage viewers-guests to come by preparing special exhibitions and presentations, on show for this one night only. They open their doors, despite remaining diligently guarded on a daily basis. They think up programmes for children. And the experience is a really big thing for the youngest ones as well, because oftentimes they stay in the city with their parents until midnight.

  • Syrenka Tattoos
    SYRENKA TATTOOS Personal Interpretations of Warsaw’s Symbol [Received 23rd February 2018, accepted 15th May 2018, DOI: 10.21463/shima.12.2.13] Jacek Wasilewski University of Warsaw <[email protected]> Agata Kostrzewa University of Warsaw <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: The Mermaid of Warsaw – known in Polish as the Syrenka - is the principal feature of the city’s coat of arms. In recent years it has also become popular with residents as a tattoo design that has civic, community and individual significance. This article analyses a selection of Syrenka-inspired tattoos inscribed on the bodies of city residents. Although approximately 90% of the images addressed conform to the classic model of the Syrenka, with regards to the position of the figure’s sword and shield, in most other aspects the tattoos differ significantly from the one featured the coat of arms, referencing other images of the Syrenka scattered throughout the city. As such, these tattoos represent more than simple homages to the city’s emblem; they evidence a sentimental bond with the community of Warsaw and express the tattooed individuals’ commitments to and attitudes toward their metropolitan locale. KEYWORDS: Mermaid, Syrenka, Warsaw, tattoos, semiotics Introduction Warsaw is located in east-central Poland on the Vistula River, which rises in the south of the country and drains into the Vistula Lagoon via a delta and directly into the Baltic Sea via several direct channels (Figure 1). The city has its antecedence in riverbank settlements that date back to the 9th Century. Warsaw has served as the nation’s capital since 1596 and its current population of is just over 1.75 million.
