Where to stay in Falenica
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Summer houses, not hotels. Falenica's building stock came out of the cottage era before the Second World War, which leaves the Kościół Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa w Warszawie and the wooded plots around it where a visitor might expect a hotel row. Warsaw holds the rooms, on the same right bank of the Vistula.

About Falenica
What are the main landmarks in Falenica?
Four entries, no more. The Kościół Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa w Warszawie is the parish landmark, and the register adds the budynek przemysłowy Wytwórni Aparatów Fizykalnych, an industrial building that sits oddly among the cottage plots. Two housing entries complete the list: a Zespół domu and the Dom z wieżą, a house with a tower.
What is the history of Falenica?
Until 1951 Falenica was a village of its own, and the summer cottages that filled its wooded plots before the Second World War drew people out of Warsaw for the season rather than for the night. Then the city took it. Falenica became part of Warsaw, inside Wawer, and kept its place on the right bank of the Vistula.
The budynek przemysłowy Wytwórni Aparatów Fizykalnych records the working side of the same century.
Where is Falenica?
Falenica occupies the far south-eastern corner of Warsaw, forested ground on the right bank of the Vistula inside the Wawer district.
