Developers operate here at full speed (just have a look at what is going on near Elektrociepłownia!) but there are also thriving public institutions which lure tourists and the Varsovians. The University Library was a pioneer here – hoards of students started to flow from Nowy Świat Street down the Warsaw Escarpment. Then there was the Copernicus Science Centre. Finally clubs by the Vistula, the Museum of Modern Art and boulevards. Powiśle finally started to flourish!
We have of course symbolically outlined the area of this unique neighbourhood for the purposes of our guide. If you want to take a stroll you can divide your trip into three parts. First, focus on the area near Lipowa and Radna Streets, the University Library and the Museum on the Vistula. That could be the first day of your excursion. On the next day, take a walk in Tamka Street down to Jaracza Street. There is also Solec near Trasa Łazienkowska where you can spend the whole day.
