WHY WARSAW…

Warsaw, Poland’s dynamic capital, is an exciting destination for HYROX-ers looking for a mix of history, outdoor adventures and a buzzing nightlife scene. With its blend of old and new, this city offers countless opportunities to explore, stay active and connect with like-minded adventurers.

One of the best ways to experience Warsaw is by cycling along the Vistula River. The city has a well-developed bike network and the scenic riverside paths offer a fantastic way to explore both the urban skyline and nature. For an extra dose of adventure, kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding on the Vistula provides a unique perspective of Warsaw’s landmarks.

For those who love a challenge, climbing to the top of the Palace of Culture and Science is a must. This iconic Soviet-era skyscraper offers breath-taking panoramic views of the city, rewarding visitors with stunning Instagram-worthy shots.

Warsaw is also home to Lazienki Park, the city’s largest and most beautiful green space. Here, you can go for a morning run, rent a bike, or simply relax among the stunning gardens and historic palaces. In the summer, free open-air Chopin concerts add a cultural touch to your outdoor experience.

After a day of adventure, Warsaw’s nightlife scene is the perfect place to unwind. The city’s Pawilony district, filled with small, quirky bars and the famous Praga neighbourhood offer endless spots to meet fellow travellers and enjoy affordable drinks. Street food, including Poland’s famous pierogi and zapiekanka (Polish-style baguette pizza), is a must-try.

With its mix of outdoor activities, cultural attractions and an energetic social scene, Warsaw is an underrated gem for HYROX-ers seeking an active and exciting city break.
