Powiśle
It’s been a great month to gallivant around the bars and restaurants of Warsaw, with several highs and lows recorded in our ongoing quest to smash the scales and live life to the max… Firstly, and nothing says June more than a big glass of Pimms. A growing number...
Lauded as Warsaw’s hottest nightspot, find Sen on the top floor of a mixed-use tower coiled up on the river’s left flank.
