somebody should definitely highlight the fact that no other City in Europe has changed as much as Warsaw during the last 3 decades. An incredible energy, a constantly changing City, in a very high tempo. I rembember Warsaw in the last 80's...another City, another world. Just a fascinating City, not comparable to any other one -also due to its tragical History what can be seen in its mix of architecture today. Unic City Varso !

You're wrong about the quality of Vistula river's water (its colour is determined by natural sediments). It has improved greatly in recent years, and now does not render swimming dangerous in this regard anymore. So why (most) people don't swim in it in the city area? Because it's officially forbidden - the city authorities quote whirlpools and strong currents as the reason. But the truth is, they are just unwilling to invest in floating pools (like those in Helsinki, Oslo or Copenhagen, etc.). This has been discussed for years without conclusion. Perhaps the climate warming may eventually force officials to take action to let people swim in the river (as they did until the early 1970s). You have stated long gloomy winters and unstable summers as Warsaw's weather drawbacks, but increasingly frequent heatwaves should be added, as there's no escape from them in the city other than a/c malls and overcrowded outdoor swimming pools.

Pierogi z jagodami jemy wyłącznie ze śmietaną z cukrem!
Tak samo jak pierogi z truskawkami czy z innymi owocami.
