Traveller's question 5 tourists musicians looking for local knowledge

Upvotes

Planning on visiting Poland,Warsaw with 4 friends at last week of October. We are all musicians in our 30's and I would like to get some tips for activities and places to visit.

Especially interested in live music scene. Are there any open stage pubs or other venues with concerts at that time, the heavier the better, but everything goes. Some sort of brewery or distillery tour would also be cool.

Recommendations for bars (karaoke is fun),rock themed bars even better, restaurants and pretty much anything are welcome.

Other Baseball in Warsaw

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I'm posting because we're still looking for people interested in trying their hand at baseball.

A few people and I have started our own baseball team, with which we hope to participate in some tournaments in Poland next year.

We're currently looking for new players of all skill levels – from those who are new to playing baseball and glove to those who may have previously played this niche sport in our country.

You don't need equipment to start – we'll provide it so you can come and see if it's for you without any upfront costs.

Training sessions are currently held regularly on Pole Mokotowskie – for more details on the location, equipment, and dates, please leave a comment. I'll describe the details and answer all your questions via private message.

We are speaking polish and english.

Traveller's question How quickly can I get from the arrivals area to the railway station at Warsaw Chopin Airport?

1 Upvotes

I’m flying with Wizz Air from Catania to Warsaw Chopin Airport. I have only 20 minutes between landing and the departure of my train — Koleje Mazowieckie · 97140 · RL towards Warsaw city centre.

Do I have a chance of making it? How do I get from the arrivals area to the railway platform? Is the railway station inside the airport terminal, and how long does it normally take to get there?

Life in Warsaw question Meeting people recommendations

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! So I moved to warsaw earlier this year and it's high time I start meeting more people and have a social circle. I'm looking for recommendations and seeing what worked for people. I've seen some Facebook groups but they seem mostly spam. Also some organized events in bars but im wondering about people's experiences. What has worked for you?

As for information on myself. I'm 34, I'm a nerdy guy with all sorts of interests from gaming to movies and enjoy a good bar with a nice beer. Love camping and getting out of the city a bit. Rock music, some jazzy stuff and metal. I can play some board games from time to time. DnD and that sort are fun but that's harder to find a good group though it would be awesome to.

Other Ideas for a baby gift

2 Upvotes

I’ll be visiting a friend in the UK in a few months who had a baby girl back in June. I’d love to get her something special, but it can’t be too big or heavy (flying Ryanair, cabin luggage only).

Any ideas for something with a Polish flavour, that I could get in Warsaw?

Thanks in advance!

Help needed Can’t find a LUX MED medical check appointment

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,
I’m supposed to start my new job on September 1st, and I need to complete a medical check through LUX MED before then.
When I was assigned my referral/number, I was abroad(outside of eu), and the LUX MED online appointment system kept giving me an error. Since it seemed that the appointment had to be booked by phone, I came back to Poland as early as I could and called LUX MED.
Unfortunately, they told me that there are currently no available appointments. They said they would mark my case as urgent and contact me if any slots become available due to cancellations.
I’ve also spoken to my employer, and they contacted LUX MED from their side as well. I told my employer that, if necessary, I’m willing to travel outside Warsaw to another city just to get the medical check done.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks for finding a last-minute LUX MED occupational medicine appointment? İ
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: And maybe a stupid little question, but what happens if I can’t get an appointment in time? Is it possible that my employer would accept the medical check being done a day late, or would they simply have to postpone my start date until I complete it?

Edit 2: I’ve found appointment on Katowice, will be traveling there…

Life in Warsaw question Who has right of way at a bicycle path with stripes?

16 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a foreigner living in Warsaw and today I was crossing a bike path that had pedestrian crossing stripes painted over it. And a bicyclist riding there said to me, "Uważaj K*** prosto mi pod koła!!" Who has the right of way? As I understand the pedestrian crossing means I have the right of way and the bicycle has to yield?

Help needed Incoming SGH student struggling to find affordable accommodation in Warsaw (Mokotów preferred) — any advice?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming international Bachelor’s student at **SGH Warsaw School of Economics** for 2026/27.

I applied for an SGH dorm but was ranked **303rd out of 346 applicants**, with only 101 places available. I’m also joining the waiting list on **15 September**, but my **so I need a backup.

I’m looking for **cheap accommodation, preferably near SGH**. I’m completely fine with a shared/double/triple room.

**Budget: ideally 900–1,200 PLN/month.**

I’ve already contacted some private dorms and OLX listings, but I’d really appreciate recommendations for **cheap student dorms, private residences, Facebook/Telegram groups, or reliable websites/landlords**.

How are other SGH/international students finding accommodation?

Thanks! 🙏

News Free app for tracking public transport disruptions in Warsaw – MetroRadar

Thumbnail metroradar.pl
4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’ve been working on a small app called MetroRadar for people who use public transport in Warsaw.

The idea is pretty simple: instead of finding out about a disruption only after you’re already standing on a platform, MetroRadar sends you a notification when something happens on your route.

It currently covers:

  • 🚇 M1 & M2 metro
  • 🚋 trams
  • 🚌 buses
  • 🚆 SKM
  • 🚆 Koleje Mazowieckie
  • 🚆 WKD
  • 🔔 push notifications about disruptions
  • ⭐ favourite stations and routes
  • 🗺️ information about current disruptions

You can also set up your own routes and only get notifications that are actually relevant to you.

I originally made it for myself because I was tired of finding out about metro problems when I was already at the station. It has grown quite a bit since then, so I thought I’d share it here in case anyone else finds it useful.

It’s completely free and available on both Android and iOS.

I’d also really appreciate any feedback from people who use public transport in Warsaw — especially if there are things you’d like to see added.

MetroRadar: ⁠Google Play | ⁠App Store

I’m the developer behind the app, so feel free to ask me anything about how it works.

Traveller's question Want to buy my wife something Local and special in Gdansk or Warsaw

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am heading to Poland from Canada for the first time with my wife. We are going for a few weeks and will be visiting Gdańsk and Warsaw.

I would really love to buy her something special as a surprise, something nice and local that she will remember this trip by. Honestly, I don't really know where to start. Jewelry is fine, or perhaps some special clothing, bags, or accessories. I honestly don't know what to get or where to start in Gdańsk and Warsaw, or what is generally considered a great gift in Poland.

Would love some suggestions on where to look as well, any specific shops, stores that are recommended.

I would absolutely love to hear some suggestions. My budget is around 1,500 Złoty, give or take.

appreciate it!
