Tourism Tax: All hostels within the city limits of Warsaw are lucky because they don’t need to pay any tourism tax. This, in our opinion, silly tax has been abolished in Poland.

Safety: There is no doubt that Warsaw is a relatively safe place for travelers in general. In any major city, you should keep your wits about you to avoid being taken advantage of.

Fun Tips for Party Hostels in Warsaw

As you have come to realize, staying at a party hostel is a little different than staying at a regular hostel. Here are some tips to make your stay go a little smoother, and how to be prepared:

Identifying a Party Hostel

The most obvious hint to know if you are about to book a party place is the name…is it called Josés Epic Party Backpacker place…yeah, that’s quite a hint. But, besides that, there are more ways to check.

The best place to start when trying to figure out whether or not a hostel is a party hostel is to read reviews. Other backpackers will often leave feedback for other travelers on websites like Hostelworld and Hostelz.com. Of course, you already know what reviews are…You can filter reviews by keywords. Type in “party”, “Pub Crawl, “or “nightlife” here.

The photos are also a big give-away.

In addition, check out what they offer in terms of amenities and facilities. If there is a bar or pub crawl offered, more often then not it is a party hostel.

How to identify a party Hostel? 4 Simple indicators:

1. Check if there is an age limit? 18+ and an upper age-limit are inidcators
2. Check if there are Pub Crawls and Drinking Games
3. Check the Photos – any party pictures?
4. Check Reviews and search for “party”, “nightlife” and/or “drinking”

Things to Bring

There are a few things backpackers should be sure to bring when staying at a party hostel specifically.

These items include earplugs, for early mornings and loud roomates, a padlock (lock up your valuables BEFORE going out for the night), headache medicine, whatever works best for you to cure a hangover, and love gloves, better safe than sorry. 

Especially for the bigger European cities where pickpocketing is common we recommend wearing trousers with zippers. This limits the chances of stealing from your pockets.

Be Sociable

One of the best things about a hostel is being able to meet new people from all around the world. Be sure to talk to people. Barcelona is great, but enjoying it with new friends is even better. Locals especially, can show you hidden secret and some of the best spots in the city.

Vibing in Warsaw Hostels

Dorm room documentaries is bound to happen in hostels, especially party hostels. Warsaw is no exception.

If you choose to take part, be respectful and try to do it in the right way. Avoid small rooms and common areas, and opt for laundry rooms or rooftops. Be sure to use protection, this is why it should be on everyone’s packing list. Actually, some party hostels even offer free love gloves for customers! Just another perk unique to hostels.

Oh, and keep in mind: many hostels have cameras. Make sure you check this before getting started…

Srodmiescie District

Want to experience the coolest party in Warsaw? Warsaw’s Srodmiescie District is central to the city and renowned for its choice of bars and clubs. Level 27 Bar & Club not only has panoramic views over the entire city, but it also has a retractable roof to dance as the stars turn into the sun whilst you party til the morning.

There is also a great choice of bars and pubs in Srodmiescie. Here, you will see the best clubs in Warsaw. Try Jabeerwocky Craft Beer Pub and Drugie Dno – Multitap Bar for a wide selection of Polish craft beers, or Steam Bar for a nice cocktail.

Pawilony Courtyard

Pawilony Courtyard is a quirky courtyard with cheap, student bars and an artsy vibe. Start your night at Cheers! Shot Bar with a big selection of power-fueling shots and cheap cocktails. Move onto Shot Gun where you’ll get four shots for less than $7 and other unmissable deals.

24hr Shot Bars

You’ve probably gathered by now that Warsaw is big on shots. Well, you won’t be surprised when we tell you that there’s even a choice of 24hr shot bars spread across the city, and it won’t be a true Polish experience without visiting one in the early hours.

City 24 is one of Poland’s most renowned shot bars. The bar is in an American-style diner and serves shots with your breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is good too, why not line your stomach here before the shots carry you away!

Some other Hostel Geeks favorites include Bazar Klub in the up and coming Nowa Praga district (24hrs on weekends only) and Pub PrzejScie, an underground 24hr haunt with Polish beers on tap and shots all night long.

Multi-tap Beer Bars: Gorączka Złot

Alongside 24hr shot bars, multi-tap beer bars are a Warsaw favorite drinking pastime.

Keep it original by visiting Gorączka Złota. This old-school beer bar is decorated in beer mats and gives you a true dive bar feeling. We added this place to our Map below.

For a more adventurous experience, visit Kufle i Kapsle and indulge in their 16 rotating beer taps or select from a choice of 150 bottled beers.

There’s also Piw Paw, open 24hours and beating Kufle i Kapsle with their selection of 57 rotating beer taps and over 200 bottles.

Best Things To Do In Warsaw

If you’re not too hungover from all the shots and craft beer, Warsaw has some pretty cool activities to spend your day times, too.

Lazienki Park

Warsaw is a very beautiful city, boasting 76 parks in total! That’s a lot of green space and if you’re looking to relax during your trip, we’re sure none of them will disappoint. But, if you’re short on time, we recommend Lazienki Park.

Here, you’ll find a busy park that often hosts events throughout the warmer months. It’s a great place to take some cold drinks and snacks and enjoy Warsaw’s summer sun.

What’s more, if you’re visiting during summer, you can enjoy a free, open-air Chopin concert held every Sunday and featuring world-famous pianists and other must-see musicians of the younger generation. Wholesome activities help the hangover, remember!

Poniatowska Beach

Poniatowska Beach is a fun, riverside location that is buzzing with live music, pop-up bars, and nearby local bars and clubs. It is located in the centre of Warsaw, on the banks of the Vistula River, and is the perfect place to spend the day.

Make the most of Warsaw’s summer weather and sunbathe, play volleyball, cycle along the river, or just kick-back with friends at Poniatowska Beach.

At night, Poniatowska Beach comes to life with some vibrant beach bars (try Plażowa), as well as occasional events and rows of pop-up bars and food trucks.

Praga Neighbourhood

In Warsaw’s Praga neighbourhood, you’ll recognise settings from The Pianist, pre-war architecture, cheap food, and street art.

Head down to Zabkowska Street and look for hidden courtyards and creative murals, or Soho Factory, where you’ll find Neon Museum, some of the best local restaurants, and quirky design shops.

Oh, and no: This neighborhood is not named after the Czech Capital…

Old Town

The Old Town in Warsaw is quite small.

You can walk around in like 20 minutes, for sure. Obviously, you have to visit this part of the town. I love it here! There are many statues and monuments. And it is even more impressive, considering the city has been completely destroyed in the Second World War. If you would not know this, you wouldn’t notices this it at all.

For me it was hard to believe as it is so well done!
