Zoological Garden
ul. Ratuszowa 1/3, tel.
www.zoo.waw.pl Opened in 1928, in the northern part of Praski Park. During World War II it was completely destroyed and re-opened in 1948. Today there are about 5,000 animals representing nearly 500 species, but the real attraction are the brown bears, whose paddock is located outside the garden and zoo walls, and who are much admired by passers.
![Kościół MBL](https://www.warsawtour.pl//sites/default/files/resize/repozytorium/zdjecia/praga_-_fundacja_centrum_europy/loretanska-267x200.jpg)
ul. Ratuszowa 5a
www.mbloretanska.republika.pl This is the oldest temple in Praga, built in the first half of the 17th century. Its designer was the royal architect Konstantyn Tencalla. Inside there is the so-called house of Loreto (a copy of The House of Our Lady in the Italian town of Loretto), in which the 15th-century statue of the Virgin Mary Kamionkowska is placed.

Beach on the Vistula (Plaża nad Wisłą)
ul. Wybrzeże Helskie 1/5 The beach is several hundreds meters long, and open only during summer; it sees loads of visitors due to numerous attractions: lawn chairs, wicker baskets, volleyball and badminton fields, and in the evening, concerts and DJ's. There is also the undeniable added charm of being able to get an unparalleled view of the Old Town, in all its splendor. On the Vistula River there are two other beaches, located on the Cypel Czerniakowski and Wał Miedzeszyński Street, which runs level with Kryniczna Street.
Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel and Florian the Martyr - Minor Basilica (Katedra św. Michała Archanioła i św. Floriana Męczennika - Bazylika Mniejsza)
ul. Floriańska 3
Construction of this Catholic church began to meet the pastoral needs of the parish, but also as a direct response to the 'Russification' of Poland; in this way, the church was a form of protest and an act of defiance. In the second half of the 19th century, the monumental Orthodox Church of Mary Magdalene was created in Praga, prompting the priest of the local parish to build a new, neo-Gothic form of the Catholic church: its soaring 75-meter-tall towers are visible from afar, and dominated the onion dome of the nearby Orthodox church. During World War II, the church was completely ruined, the only surviving fragments being the external walls and two statues: those of St. Michael the Archangel and St. Florian. Reconstruction lasted until 1970, and was undertaken using bricks that were produced in the 19th century, to give the new church a sense of authenticity.
Former Water Chamber
ul. St. Kłopotowskiego 1/3
This is one of the oldest and most valuable buildings on the right-bank of Warsaw; it’s also called the House of Columns.
Built and designed by Antonio Corazzi between 1824-1825, it was for the City Department of Bridges. The building is situated at the entrance to the boat bridge, which was used to cross to the other side of the Vistula River, and it was here that tolls were paid. The chamber performed this function until 1864, when the first permanent crossing of the Vistula River was built – the Kierbedź Bridge. On the building’s facade is a carved relief by Tomasz Accardi, which represents Neptune’s (the god of the sea) chariot drawn by fish-tailed horses, and surrounded by dolphins. What is also interesting are the cast-iron plates documenting the record heights of the Vistula’s water levels in 1813, 1839 and 1844.
In 2007-2008 the building underwent a general overhaul, currently, it houses a branch of the Warsaw City Office.
Monument of Kościuszko Division (Pomnik Kościuszkowców)
ul. Wybrzeże Szczecińskie
Monument to the soldiers of the 1st Tadeusz Kościuszko Infantry Division, who died trying to help during the Warsaw Uprising.
A monument commemorating the soldiers of the Polish 1st Tadeusz Kościuszko Infantry Division. In September 1944, they failed in their attempt in crossing to the left bank of the Vistula River, trying to assist during the Warsaw Uprising. The monument was designed by Andrzej Kasten at the initiative of the Polish Army Veterans Association and Kościuszko Club. It shows a soldier extending his hand, in a dramatic gesture, toward Warsaw’s left-bank. The 12-meter high bronze statue was unveiled in January 1985. The creator of the monument’s architectural environment is B. Chyliński
Monument of Praga's Backyard Orchestra (Pomnik Praskiej Kapeli Podwórkowej)
ul. Floriańska/ul. Kłopotowskiego revealed in 2006, this monument presents a neighbourhood band from the days when such musicians roamed the courtyards of Warsaw, especially in the Praga neighborhood, and played popular Warsaw tunes. In the band are a violinist, accordion player, guitarist, banjo player, and a drummer. A small square with benches surrounds the monument, where one can rest and listen to music, including tunes from the pre-war.
Metropolitan Orthodox St. Mary Magdalene Church (Cerkiew metropolitalna św. Marii Magdaleny)
al. Solidarności 52
Built in the second half of the 19th century, it is inspired by Byzantine architecture. Previously, St. Andrew's Church stood in this place, but in the late 18th century, as a symbol of Russian domination, the Catholic church was destroyed and the Orthodox church went up. It's purpose was to serve the large Russian colony which lived in the vicinity of todays Jagiellońska Street, and for the numerous travellers arriving from Russia. In the basement, mosaic fragments preserved from the defunct Warsaw council of Alexander Nevski are kept. During World War II the Orthodox church survived, thanks to which the interior retains its original design. This is currently the Cathedral of the Orthodox Church.
Rothblith House - ulica Targowa 50/52. At this address stand three houses, at the entrance to the Rożycki Bazaar. Two of them, built for Jewish merchant Berek Rothblith, are the oldest houses which are preserved in ‘Old Praga’. The first from the left was built in 1819, the one on the right was built in 1830. By contrast, the middle house was built in 1873 by another property owner, Antoni Sikorski. In the early 19th century, the houses were all owned by the Fajgenblatt family, and during this period, the buildings were used as Jewish houses of prayer.
In 1996, hidden wall decorations were discovered, which date from 1934. They represent such images as Jews praying at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, and Rachel's Tomb.
Currently, the buildings belong to the Museum of Praga. After their renovation, which was finished in 2012, the exhibition spaces will be housed here.
Ząbkowska Street One of the main streets of old Praga, the oldest buildings are from the 19th century. For many people this place is 'Praga's Old Town'. Walking along Ząbkowska we can see how the Praga's architecture evolved from the second half of the 19th century to now. The oldest surviving house on this street is a small ground-floor house (No. 14), which is from 1866. The house at No. 7 is from 1880 (though it has been restored), and is considered by many to be the most beautiful house of Ząbkowska Street. At No. 2 there is one of the most recognisable buildings in Praga – it's a four-floor, renovated house, which belonged to Szejna and Tychoński, which dates from 1914.
Koneser - old vodka factory
ul. Ząbkowska 27/31
monopolpraski.pl This is a complex of red brick buildings from the late 19th century, in which, for over a hundred years, an alcohol factory was located. It is one of the most valuable examples of industrial architecture, as some of the buildings are inspired by Gothic influences (look at the front gate, which often makes visitors think of a castle with a small turret). Koneser is now a modern cultural center, with numerous cultural institutions based here: the Konsekwentny Koneser Theatre, several art galleries (including the famous Luksfera Gallery and Klima Bocheńska Galleries), and with many events and concerts.
Fabryka Trzciny Art Centre
ul. Otwocka 14
www.fabrykatrzciny.pl This is the city's famous private art centre; housed in a former factory from 1916, which used to produce marmalade, sausages and 'pepegi' (which were a kind of 'socialist trainer'). Today, the center consists of, among other things, an auditorium, a meeting room, a theatre hall, an exhibition hall, spaces used for film festivals, fashion shows, symposiums, conferences, training sessions and events organised for special occasions. This unusual venue is known for its avant-garde style, mixed with tradition and aspects of the original old factory.
Różycki Bazaar (Bazar Różyckiego)
ul. Targowa 54
www.br.waw.pl Founded in the late 19th century by Julian Różycki, who was a pharmacist and owner of several pharmacies. The bazaar was constructed in order to be a major trading center in Praga: originally it had seven indoor stalls. During World War II, it was one of the few places where Warsaw residents could buy goods, derived – with a bit of cunning and quite a lot of danger – from the German military transport vehicles and stores.
After the war the bazaar really flourished. One could buy goods unavailable in state stores, which in the communist times, were often empty anyway. Currently, the bazaar is made up of about 250 merchants, and there are plans for entering the marketplace on the Registry of Monuments, which would make it impossible to ever shut down.
