The impressive stadium has been built on the site of an earlier communist-era venue right in time for the Euro 2012 championships. It is a multi-level entertainment, exhibition and congress venue, with a busy schedule of events. The grounds around the stadium have been arranged to hold events as well. On the nights of major matches or concerts, traffic in the area can be severely disrupted, but on other days, you may find attractions ranging from publicly-accessible ice skating rink to a fashion fair within the large structure.

Park Skaryszewski or Park im. Ignacego Paderewskiego
This park isn't as well known as some of the others, most likely since a palace is absent from it, but that said, it's nonetheless a pleasant park for a stroll or to read a book and comes complete with its own lake. Near park's main entrance, there is a memorial to the September 11th terror attacks.
A mostly residential neighborhood that is freckled with numerous embassies, but is unique for the cozy cafes and restaurants that line one its most well-known streets, ul. Francuska. In the evening, the neighborhood is an idyllic setting for a stroll, which can be topped off by watching the sunset over the Eastern skyline of Warsaw, dominated by the Palace of Culture and Science, while grilling or drinking by a couple of the city-provided grills on the banks of the Vistula. If you go to grill, be sure to bring some bug spray. This neighborhood is also located immediately next to the National Stadium.
Well-designed museum showcasing the history of Praga. Lots of interesting interviews with old residents.
