Being a highly Catholic country Poland takes Easter very seriously and considers it the most sacred holiday of the year. Which is exactly why they need a fun day like Easter Monday (Śmingus Dyngus in Polish) to help them recover from it. Read all about this traditional experience on page 27.

Poselska 20, 31-002 Kraków agencja@pod-aniolem.com.pl Just in case you haven’t noticed: it’s winter in Warsaw! Fewer places is winter more vivid than here, with plunging temperatures and sparse sunshine making any time spent outside feel more like punishment than pleasure. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Our feature tackles the topic of how to enjoy a Warsaw winter just like the locals do (yes, we promise, for all their grumbling they do enjoy it) with plenty of activities to keep you warm inside and out. Of course the weather is a justifiable excuse to explore all of Warsaw’s warmer indoor wonders, beginning with one of our favorites: The Warsaw Uprising Museum. It’s easily the best museum in the city and on our list of can’t-miss attractions with a mix of interactive displays, original photographs, video footage and the stunning City of Ruins film to give you an idea of what post-war Warsaw was like. The Uprising is one of the proudest moments in Polish history, and this museum thoroughly captures the story, chronologically, from start to finish. If you’re visiting the city towards the end of this edition of the guide you’ll get to experience one of the surest signs of impending spring: a Polish Easter. The day itself is on March 31, but seeing as this is highly Catholic Poland you can bet that the holiday isn’t just restricted to one Sunday. There’s Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and even the kooky Easter Monday (in Polish it’s the delightfully named Śmingus Dyngus) which involves public water fights to help recover from the somberness of Easter itself. Watch your back! Of course this is also the time of year where it’s acceptable to pick a pub, pull up a seat, and drink and eat your way through popular Polish dishes since everyone can use an extra layer of fat. Our restaurants section is divided up by cuisine, so if you’re in search of pierogis flip to the Polish section and find your nearest purveyor of these savory dough pockets.

The white stuff is falling steadily and estimates around -25 degrees are predicted for the coming months. No matter how long one has lived here, you’re never quite prepared for this time of year, and you never seem to remember what the previous winter was really like - that’s when it hits you like a Pershing popsicle, literally catching you with your pants down. Keep in mind that this is not the United Kingdom - so in general, planes, trains and automobiles function normally and people go about their everyday business as usual. A hardy and resilient lot the Poles; always have been, always will be. We reckon that it’s pretty safe to assume that by the time this publication hits the streets in February, Warsaw will not be in the grip of some Mediterranean-style heat wave. If we get that horribly wrong, simply tear out this page and deposit it in one of the many rubbish bins situated around the city. Assuming that we are correct, it’s time to slip on your winter woollies and let’s take a look at what you can get up to. Winter Wanders Depending on which Warsaw you’re intent on visiting, winter can have a very contrasting effect. First port of call for most visitors is obviously the Old Town (p.88), as well it should be if you’re looking for Warsaw’s winter wonderland. Empty of tourists and draped in snow, the Old Town’s castle towers, church spires and cobbled streets take on a fairy-tale majesty creating quite a mismatch with the rest of the city’s scenery. Leave the meticulously reconstructed Old Town and the cinematic atmosphere quickly shifts from Disney magic to retro uploads/Societe et culture/ warsaw-city-guide.pdf
