the Neringa Hotel as a base, as it’s
ideally situated right in the middle of
town. www.neringahotel.com

A slice of the city
The Euro 2012 football championships
will be kicking off in Warsaw soon,
with a further four matches set to
take place in Poland’s capital. The
remarkable new basket-shaped
National Stadium on the Vistula’s
right bank is truly an impressive sight,
architecturally as well as for those
with football fever.
Eating out
In the heart of the stylish city
centre at Poznanska 12, Beirut is
an intimate, achingly hip bar serving
up some of the most mouthwatering
hummus in the city. For a more
substantial meal, try the nearby
Mandala restaurant and club at
Emilii Plater 9-11, which specialises
in Thai, Indian, and Nepalese cuisine.
On weekends DJs spins funky tunes in
the club upstairs. mandalaklub.com
City suggestions
Warsaw’s Teatr Wielki (Grand
Theatre) is home to the National
Opera and Ballet and well worth
visiting. Medeamaterial, Cinderalla,
Nabucco and Tristan are on this spring.

And finally...
Warsaw is a city that requires a little
effort to fully appreciate, and many of
its most interesting attractions, cafés,
and clubs are off the beaten track. Do
It in Warsaw! is a fantastic bilingual
guide book for exploring its most
unusual and unique wonders.

tartare or deer loin. www.jadka.pl

fountain, plus stunning nearby park
