1) St. Florian's Cathedral
Saint Florian's Cathedral is known for its imposing 75-meter high towers that dominates Warsaw's Praga district. The church was constructed as much to meet pastoral needs as for responding to Russian domination over Poland. Building this church was more of an act of defiance and protest.
After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Warsaw was placed under the control of the Russian Empire and Russia started exercising its influence over the local population. Among other things, over twenty Russian Orthodox churches were built in Poland, including the Cathedral of Saint Mary Magdalene opened in 1869 on the same street.
As a direct response to the opening of Cathedral of Saint Mary Magdalene, locals started building Saint Florian鈥檚 in 1897 and it was opened 1904. The church is named after Saint Florian, the patron saint of professions associated with fire, such as firefighters, steelworkers, chimney sweeps, potters and bakers.
During and after the Siege of Warsaw, churches were used as a hiding place for Jews, the Warsaw Army (Armia Warszawa) and as a general refuge for civilians. Before Nazis left withdraw from Poland in 1944, they blew up this church. The church remained in ruins for several years until a reconstruction effort started in 1950s.
The reconstruction used the 19th Century bricks that made the church look very authentic. The rebuilt church opened in 1972. Today this church is referred to as the Praga鈥檚 Cathedral.

2) Praga Park (Park Praski)
Praga Park (Park Praski), also known as Soldiers of the Polish First Army Park, is a significant and historical park located in the Praga district of Warsaw. Established between 1865-71 and designed by Jan Dobrowolski, the park is situated on the east bank of the Wis艂a River and spans an area of approximately 30 hectares.
Originally named Aleksandrowski, the park was later renamed Praski after 1916. It was developed on sandy river alluviums and marshy lands that were previously used as meadows and pastures. The park鈥檚 layout is in a landscape style, incorporating the existing riverside bushes along the Vistula side. The main feature is an alley that runs through the entire park, part of a star-shaped layout connected to Veterans' Square.
Significantly, in 1927, a portion of the park was allocated for the establishment of the Warsaw Zoological Garden (Ogr贸d Zoologiczny). This zoo has since grown to house over 4,200 animals from more than 500 species, including a bear run established in 1952 and still operational today.
The park is also home to various sculptures and memorials, including a statue of the writer Eliza Orzeszkowa, erected in 1938 by sculptor Henryk Kuna, and a notable giraffe sculpture dating from 1981. Additionally, the park was a burial ground for some Polish army soldiers who died during World War II.
Throughout its expanse, Praga Park offers numerous benches and abundant trees, making it a serene and welcoming spot for relaxation and leisure. The park's flora includes poplars, maples, lindens, elms, ashes, chestnuts, white locusts, spruces, Douglas firs, and larches.

3) Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene
After Warsaw was placed under the control of the Russian Empire as part of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Warsaw saw a large influx of Russian immigrants who practiced Orthodox. By mid-1800, Orthodox made up roughly ten percent of the population in Praga.
Cathedral of Saint Mary Magdalene was constructed especially to serve the Russian immigrants in Praga and the soldiers of the two Russian garrisons located in the area. The foundation stone of the church was laid in 1867 and it was completed in 1869.
The building was covered with a hipped roof with five onion-domes. The interior was beautifully decorated and a group of 27 murals were painted on the inside walls.
After Poland regained its independence in 1920, most Orthodox churches were demolished or transferred to other religions. Miraculously, Saint Mary Magdalenes survived. During the World War II, the church suffered only minor damages, so today you still see original interior decorations including the main iconostasis and the gilded altars.
In 1944, Nazis confiscated the church bells for the purpose of making missiles, but only to discover that the bells were not suitable for melting down. The broken bells were later welded back together and can be found near the building entrance today.
Visit this church to enjoy its beautiful architecture and exquisitely decorated interiors.

4) Monument of Praga's Backyard Orchestra (Pomnik Praskiej Kapeli Podw贸rkowej)
The Monument of Praga's Backyard Orchestra (Pomnik Praskiej Kapeli Podw贸rkowej) is a significant cultural landmark in Warsaw located at the intersection of Floria艅ska and K. I. K艂opotowskiego streets in the Praga-P贸艂noc district. This unique monument celebrates the essence of ordinary Warsaw residents and their musical traditions.
The idea for this monument was conceived by Archbishop S艂awoj Leszek G艂贸d藕, who wanted to give back to the city after receiving honorary citizenship of Warsaw. In addition to commissioning a monument to Fr. Ignacy Skorupka in front of the Prague Cathedral in 2005, G艂贸d藕 initiated the creation of a brass monument dedicated to a Warsaw backyard band. This initiative was realized through the efforts of the Prague Monument Foundation.
The monument, crafted by sculptor Andrzej Renes, features five figures representing a typical backyard band: a violinist, an accordionist, a guitarist, a banjoist, and a drummer. Each figure embodies the spirit of Warsaw's musical culture, bringing to life the sounds and ambiance of the city's courtyards.
Unveiled on September 17, 2006, the inauguration of the monument was a significant event, graced by the presence of its originator, Archbishop G艂贸d藕. The ceremony was further enlivened by performances from authentic backyard bands such as Kapela Praska, R贸偶yce Orchestra, and Kurpie band, that specializes in rural folklore.
An innovative feature of the monument was its interactive aspect. Initially, visitors could send an SMS to listen to one of 100 songs, including occupation songs and typical Warsaw tunes. This feature aimed to enhance the experiential aspect of the monument, connecting people more intimately with Warsaw's musical heritage. Unfortunately, due to technical issues, this interactive element is no longer functional.

5) Museum of Praga
The need to create the Prague Museum and to preserve its vanishing memorabilia has long been discussed. There were different ideas for the final location of the museum. Ultimately, it was decided that the museum would be located in a complex of three historic tenement houses next to the R贸偶ycki Bazaar. One of them - the Krzy偶anowski's House (Rothblith house) - is the oldest surviving brick residential house in Praga.
Three tenement houses were connected, but different floor levels were kept. They include, among others museum exhibitions, a room for interactive education and oral history and a cafe. The museum also includes a house of prayer and a new building with a projection room. The museum with a permanent exhibition was opened to visitors in 2015.
The Praga Museum of Warsaw organizes exhibitions with free guided tours on selected dates, workshops for children, walks around the district, cultural reviews and theater performances, festivals (including a crafts festival with a craft products fair) and conferences.

6) Bazar R贸偶yckiego (R贸偶yckiego Market)
R贸偶yckiego Market (Bazar R贸偶yckiego), located in the Praga district of Warsaw, is steeped in history and culture. Tracing its origins back to the mid-17th century, it stands as the oldest outdoor market in Warsaw. Established more formally in the 19th century by Julian Ro偶ycki, a renowned pharmacist and social activist, the market has been an integral part of Warsaw鈥檚 commercial and social landscape.
After World War II, the market gained a unique status. It became one of the few, if not the only, marketplaces offering products unavailable in state-run shops. This distinction drew people from all over the capital and beyond, marking it as a pivotal commercial hub during challenging times.
Today, R贸偶yckiego Market offers an array of goods, from daily necessities like fruits, vegetables, and meats to a wide range of items including clothes, shoes, hats, toys, kitchenware, and even unique finds like wedding gowns. While it may have lost its edge in international fashion trends, the market continues to be a one-stop shop for various needs.
The market, along with its district, Praga P贸艂noc, awaits renovation. The marketplace has undergone partial modernization, which has been met with mixed reactions from vendors who often prefer the older parts of the market. Despite its state of deterioration, the market still offers a diverse range of products, including pirated DVDs, clock radios, polyester suits, and incense.
R贸偶yckiego Market is more than just a marketplace; it's a window into the everyday life of the local community. It offers a unique sociological perspective, showcasing the nuances of working-class Warsaw. For visitors and locals alike, the market remains an interesting place to observe and partake in the daily shopping routines of Warsaw residents.
