I'll be traveling to Warsaw for a week later this month. I've read in most places that Praga is to be avoided. But, I've read elsewhere that Praga has an emerging club scene. Would you recommend that a single American check out the nightlife in Praga? (I'll be traveling alone on business, but I'm a big boy (6'5"/1.96m, large framed) that can take care of myself.) Dziekuje!

The more commercialized parts of Praga are fine. But avoid the unsafe areas.

I suppose I should just trust my instincts as to the unsafe areas?

Praga is fine; thousands of people live there and the centre is safe but boring - none of the places you are likely to go to are down deserted dark alleyways.

Explorer: I've read in most places that Praga is to be avoided. But, I've read elsewhere that Praga has an emerging club scene. Both statements are true. Check it out. But take a taxi, it's cheap. You shouldn't walk around in Praga at night if you don't know the place, and know what kind of people you are likely to find where.

I'd agree with Szwed's statement. It's like most places, the less you know about it the more careful you should be. Praga has theatres and clubs but it helps if you know where you are and where you are going. Try a "Warsaw in your Pocket" (if they exist). Oh, don't forget, big boys are as prone to knives and bottles as little boys.
