Beach Rusałka is a riverside beach on Warsaw’s Praga side, with a view across the water to the Old Town. Come to relax by the Vistula, enjoy the open river setting or watch the sun set behind the historic centre. The beach is also used for winter bathing, though icy-water conditions call for caution. Facilities can be limited, so bring your own snacks and drinks; a weekday visit is a quieter choice.
