Area's of Warsaw worth a visit? (including outdoor camping)

Me and my partner are visiting Warsaw next month and I didn't know if anybody could recommend an area of the city worth visiting away from the main tourist spots.

Ideally somewhere with some nice restaurants and bars, she is Polish so language will not pose a problem!

Besides the regular touristy areas- just off plac trzech krzyzy (3 crosses) there is a street called Mokotowska. On that street there are a bunch of neat places, also Krucza, Piekna streets. The area is old Mokotow- it is nice to just walk around, if you peak into some of the courtyards of the old buildings you get a glimpse of life before war.

Nice One!

Hi Paul,

There are many places worth visiting in Warsaw, here are two that are worth seeing.
Zegrze lake, about 20 klm from Warsaw center, you can take a boat from the wisla river.

Wilanow Palace is worth visiting, there is a large lake to row a boat around, also there is a driving range if you enjoy golf.

Uprising Museum

You can always take a rest at this lovely room. It's located at the Holiday Inn in Warsaw.

Is it on the 13th floor?

Seriously, there are some nice restaurants in ul. Francuska in Saska Kepa, the Botanical Gardens at Powsin (and Konstancin nearby) are both worth seeing.

Merged: Boy scout camping/hiking in Warsaw area question

I am a youth leader at my church in Warsaw. We are starting a varsity scout team through the Boy Scouts of America so that our American boys can continue in the Scouting program. Does anyone have any recommendations of great places to hike or camp fairly close to Warsaw? Any other outdoors activities you'd recommend for this area?

Puszcza Kampinoska comes to mind.

Have you tried the Polish Scouts HQ /shop in central Warsaw? Im sure someone will be happy to help there . :)
