Where to stay in Praga
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Koneser is the anchor. The Warsaw Vodka Factory holds that name, and the tenement streets around it carry the Karol Minter Tenement House, the Konopacki Palace and the Mikveh that the record files under Praga. Crossings are short.
Anyone with a room in central Warsaw can cross the Vistula and reach the Museum of Praga, the Warsaw Bread Museum and the Drucianka factory in one afternoon.

About Praga
What are the main landmarks in Praga?
Museums, churches and one vodka works. The Warsaw Vodka Factory known as Koneser stands among the district's entries, and the Polish Vodka Museum, the Museum of Praga, the Warsaw Bread Museum and the Museum of Printing fill out its collections. Sacred and civic mix.
The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Christ the King church and Our Lady of Lourdes church are entered here, along with the Konopacki Palace, the Mikveh, the Drucianka factory and the Railways Head Office.
What is the history of Praga?
Praga answered to its own charter. The name is first mentioned in 1432, and until 1791 the settlement on the east bank of the Vistula stood as a separate town with its own city rights, before Warsaw absorbed it. Industry left its own marks.
The Drucianka factory, the Railways Head Office and the Warsaw Vodka Factory record the working centuries, while the Monument of Ignacy Skorupka and the Pomnik Praskiej Kapeli Podwórkowej keep two very different memories on the same streets.
Where is Praga?
Praga sits on the east bank of the Vistula, forming the right-bank core of Warsaw and a quarter of the Polish capital in its own right.
