Mokotowska has grown into a fashion street<br />
recently. Along with shops where rich suburban<br />
women can live out their California fantasies,<br />
and youth-oriented multibrands like FUMO, you<br />
can find flagships of young Polish brands: from<br />
<strong>Warsaw</strong> street label TURBOKOLOR (at Veteran<br />
skate shop Mokotowska 28) to super-sophisticated<br />
and super-<strong>Warsaw</strong> ANIA KUCZYŃSKA (at<br />
Mokotowska 61).<br />

GOODIES is the first shop in Poland that sells<br />

including strange flavours far from the chain<br />
coffee shop spectrum. The cute café rubs<br />
shoulders with a skate/streetwear shop.<br />

building built directly on the riverfront, a wildly<br />

place for discovering science, soon to open<br />
a 24 hour roof top park, set to rival the one at<br />
the nearby university library.<br />

Hidden behind the sleek German and French<br />
embassies you will find a bit of Scandinavian<br />
countryside right in the middle of the city. <strong>It</strong> is<br />
a colony of ca. 30 temporary wooden houses<br />
built along Jazdów street in 1945 for construction<br />
workers rebuilding the ruined city. They<br />
came from Finland via Soviet Union, were<br />
supposed to last for 5 years but somehow<br />
stayed, making up a beautiful and calm neighbourhood<br />
in the heart of the city.<br />

You cannot get behind the gate of the Charity<br />
Daughters congregation but while cycling<br />
down Kruczkowskiego you can have a look<br />
through the fence and see an enormous field<br />
in the middle of the city. The nuns grow their<br />
own fruit and vegetables and on a lucky day<br />
you will see a horse drawn plough in the<br />
middle of a 21st century city.<br />

104 THE roYAL ŁAZIENKI PArK<br />
Founded in 18th century as the king’s private<br />
suburban pleasuredome, the Łazienki park<br />
is one of <strong>Warsaw</strong>’s top tourist attractions. A<br />
long lake, several palaces, a fake ruin of an<br />
amphitheatre, two greenhouses plus a flock of<br />
peacocks strolling around all add to its charm.<br />
In the summer you can even take a ride on the<br />
lake in a gondola – only 6 zł/person. Beware<br />
of overpriced cafes. The park is crowded on<br />
weekends, nice and quiet on weekdays, open<br />
daily from dawn til dusk, no cycling allowed.<br />

as soon as the owners put a sign ‘Bread and<br />
