Where to Find Friends

Warsaw isn’t exactly the kind of city where you head to a bar, strike up a conversation with strangers, and leave with new besties. People tend to go out in groups and stick to their cliques, with little mingling throughout the night.

The easiest way to meet people? Through friends of friends and, of course, house parties. Try to get yourself invited to one by someone you’ve just met—or better yet, host your own.

There are also events organized for expats, but let’s be honest: you won’t meet locals there, just other expats grumbling about how hard it is to make friends in Warsaw.

Luckily, Warsaw’s café culture is booming, making it a great place to ease into meeting neighbors or striking up new connections.
