Foreword It is with a bit of trepidation that we enter this particular autumn.The reason? You’re probably sick of hearing about it - it’s our good old pal SARS-CoV-2. While the numbers of vaccinated folks are up, and the summer has been nearly as carefree as in the ‘before times’, we can’t be quite sure what’s in store as the temperatures drop. But call us optimists - we’re sending this guide off to the printing presses hoping that you’ll be able to take advantage of the best that Warsaw has to offer, whether you’re traveling here for business, pleasure or overwintering in the Polish capital as an expat. In this issue, we’ll share with you how to make the most of the ‘golden Polish autumn’ (p.10), point you in the direction of the city’s newest post-industrial draw, Browary Warszawskie (p.14) and suggest some of the best upcoming cultural events (p.16), from the legendary and very autumnal Jazz Jamboree festival (p.16) to the Warsaw Jewish Film Festival (p.17). Got any questions or concerns? Feel free to shoot us an email at poland@inyourpocket.com or find us on Facebook and Instagram. Stay safe and enjoy! Born in Upper Silesia, Janina Krzysiak spent her formative years outside of Philly, PA, before moving back to Poland to indulge her love for cheap air travel, walkable cities, and Eastern European nostalgia. She also happens to be a card-carrying jesieniara. Not sure what that means? Turn to p.10.

Cover Story Siekierkowski Bridge, southwest of Warsaw’s city centre, was completed and opened in 2002. It crosses the Vistula RIver and connects the districts of Mokotów and Wawer. During Autumn, the forest embankments turn a wonderful golden red! Photo by udmurd / Adobestock.
