About Gocławek
Where to stay in Gocławek
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The tram terminus is the anchor. Rooms in Gocławek put you between Szasarow Street and Ostrobramska Street, with Grochowska Street running through and the line at Rondo Wiatraczna carrying on into the rest of Warsaw. King Cross Praga faces the terminal.
Zamieniecka Street closes the western edge, so a base here suits you if a tram ride into the middle of the city is a fair trade for streets that stay residential.
About Gocławek
What are the main landmarks in Gocławek?
One church carries the list. Kościół Najczystszego Serca Maryi is the church recorded in Gocławek, and the rest of the register is domestic: the house at 34 Zamieniecka Street, the one at Minerska 50A, and the listed Dom z piwnicami i skrytką mieszczącą się pod piwnicami. King Cross Praga handles the shopping.
Its doors face the tram terminal at the end of the line that runs through Rondo Wiatraczna, which is how the neighbourhood reaches the rest of Warsaw.
What is the history of Gocławek?
Gocławek is defined by its edges. The neighbourhood was designated officially inside Praga Południe, and the definition runs along Szasarow Street, Ostrobramska Street and Grochowska Street, with Zamieniecka Street hemming it in on the western side. Kościół Najczystszego Serca Maryi holds the parish.
One entry in the record names a house for what lies under it, a set of cellars with a hiding place beneath them.
Where is Gocławek?
