the feel of real Warsaw
Brzeska street
Why locals love it
For many local people this street (as well as the whole area) is considered the most scary and dangerous one in the whole city. Well, for sure it is a really poor one but that also makes it the most authentic. I love walking there and feeling like in the old times
Why you should visit it
Once you scratch the dust you're in for a treat. The pre-war houses are really beautiful, even if a little bit rusty and crumbly. The life is slow there, locals catch up in front of the shops and as soon as you say "dzień dobry" they warm up to you. You can also find some decent street art around
Special tip
Peek inside the backyards to find some old yet well taken care of shrines of St. Mary.
