- In this video, we travel through Poland’s capital city, Warsaw, on the Warsaw Metro system’s blue line (M1). Starting out in the northern suburbs of the city and heading south, we explore both the Warsaw Metro itself and the above ground areas connected by it.
We check out some beautifully designed metro stations, numerous city parks and landmarks, and even take a detour into the gorgeous Warsaw Old Town.
There’s a lot of quirky things to discover in this huge city, so make sure you’re along for the ride!🚊

I live in Waesaw and I am constantly schocked how comfortable it became over the last 35 yrs
Yeh it’s great tbh…interesting city & surprisingly relaxed/comfortable in most areas 😎🇵🇱 very easy to get around and film, without being bothered by any dodgy characters! Fully enjoyed my day exploring on the metro 🚇🙌🏼
Where is Waesaw?
Not the spellcheck police 👮🏻♂️ rollin’ up 🤣🚔 lol

came across your video and LOVE it! walking down the memory lane, literally and freshly - because just three days ago I came back from warsaw (to NYC) ... brought 3-day tickets with zone1&2, roaming around aimlessly all day every day ... the most wonderful time
Thanks a lot 🤩 I’m so happy you loved the video!
Wow, that’s a very fresh trip 🇵🇱 but sounds as though you spent it extremely wisely getting the day tickets & wandering about Warsaw, glad you had a wonderful time 🥳🚇 any favourite things/parts of the city?
On another note, I went to NYC on a college trip when I was 17, such a fun place! 😍
@@n1ckburt0n Yes! besides the metro, try the trams (next time). many routes but each has its own flavor above the ground ... even a few crossing the river, and passing the stadium ... i also took several ones right on the Poland Independence Day ... amazing energy among young and senior polish ppl!!!
Oh I’d definitely go back and try a tram adventure! 🚃 🇵🇱 I’m sure that would be really fun 😎
A nice video. For some reason, the YT algorithms suggested it to me. ZTM tickets in Warsaw are valid for the entire public transport network, which includes buses, trams, the metro, and urban trains (SKM). It's important to validate your ticket upon entering the vehicle or at the metro station gates.
Similar to Latin and Italian, Polish nouns change their forms based on their grammatical role in a sentence. This is known as declension. In the phrase "Plac Wilsona," the noun "Wilson" is in the Genitive case, indicating possession, much like "Wilson's Square" in English.
Thanks a lot! 😎 Yeh I used a few of the buses as well, just not in this particular video…a very efficient transport system overall 🚇 🚃 🚎 🚊
Ooof nice grammatical info 🇵🇱🤓 love that! I definitely tried my best at the station names for the voiceover narration 😝…on the actual filming day, slightly messy with the names haha 😂 but that’s part of the fun I guess!
@@n1ckburt0n surname Wilson, in Polish might also be: Wilsonem and Wilsonie 🤪
So many options for the good ole Wilson! 😝😃
A big credit for visiting the city and using ZBIORKOM - mass transit, and talking about it.
Thanks very much! 😎 I had a great time doing it 🤩 will definitely be back in the future 🇵🇱
I know very little about Warsaw other than what I've seen in a handful of vlogs. But very much enjoyed this tour, hope there's more!
Thanks, Martin 😎🙌🏼 glad you enjoyed it! Yeh there’s more coming, currently editing one on the red line (M2) Warsaw & then all four lines of the Budapest Metro 🇭🇺🚇
You heard sirens in park Kaskada frequently because at 7:38 the dark gray building is a firefighter school and firefighting department with 4 garage doors, 3 for firefighting squads and 1 for ambulance. Yep You guessed right, I live very close and I know everything about those damn sirens, day and night 🤣
Actually LOL’d 😂 at this comment! Well that certainly explains the sirens!🚨. This must be a nightmare at night 💀 but it does seem like a really great area to live in, so I guess it’s still worth it? I’d probably be having a meltdown if I got woken up all the time though 🤪😅
I wish I was younger to travel like that. I dreamt of London, went there when I was 19. But the Brits didn't want me there... It was before PL joined EU. I got a stamp in my passport that I can't cross EU borders for 5 yrs, because they thought I worked without permission. My heart broke into million pieces. I never left PL again in my life. UK was my greatest dream since I was a child, I don't know why... like I was born with it. I'm happy for you, that you can travel and enjoy the world. All the best. Greets from Warsaw. P.S. Always a great pleasure for me to hear a beautiful British accent :) (Sorry for my English).
Podziwiam kondycję. Przeszedłeś prawie całe miasto.
Hahah thank you! 🙏🏻😝😂 I try to mix it up between walking & riding the metro, but yeh Warsaw is a big city and M1 is a long metro line!
What a nice and relaxing video this is.
Thanks very much! 😎 Appreciate such a nice compliment 🙌🏼
Don't be surprised that people tend to watch videos from their own country. This is a psychological topic: we try to see ourselves through others eyes as a form of confirmation for ourselves that we are doing good and our view of the world is correct as others see it the same. For expample: when I watch a person from US visiting Warsaw metro and commenting on it the same way I would do myself, I get the confirmation that my wiev of the world is the same as others. We all like to belong, right?
It is the best when someone outside of our culture, country, group etc confirms it as we instictivly feel that people who live with us in same place could have view of the world distorted as we could have.
That's why you will always get more views from people from that country you made a video in.
That’s definitely an interesting theory 🧠🙌🏼 and I’d agree that’s totally one of the reasons people watch stuff from their own area/country. It would make an interesting study 📖🤓 maybe I should put a poll on the community tab haha
I think it also depends on your specific interests. I barely ever watch anything about the UK 🇬🇧 as I’m more interested in foreign countries 😝✈️
This video made me remember "Następna stacja" by Taco Hemingway - a hip-hop song about the unique vibes of each of the metro stations in Warsaw, (very good one, but in Polish )
I just had a listen to it on TH-cam! 🎶😎 Obviously no idea what he was saying other than the station names though! 🤣
10:42 Thomas Woodrow Wilson Square or"platz vilsonaa" in traditional Polish, although lots of Poles learning English at one time, will pronounce "W" in English fashion (Polish "Ł" like Słodowiec - "swodovietz", like English "sword").
Yeh I guess there’s some differences between how people would pronounce the “W” there, based on either Polish language rules vs from the name Wilson 🤓
The “Ł” is really interesting though 😎 Polish is definitely a tough language but v cool too! 👌🏻🇵🇱
Very calming and relaxing video Nick. I’m glad you’re showing my city in a good way:)
Thanks, Janusz! 😃🙌🏼 “calming and relaxing” is such a big compliment 😎 I love videos where I can just watch and feel chilled 🧘🏻♂️.
Warsaw is great 🇵🇱 I’m sure it must be a fun place to live! 🏙️
Nice video :)
Thanks a lot 🤩 happy you enjoyed it!
You seem very chill and at least you tried pronouncing some of the station names. Poles love bitching about ourselves and our country. Warsaw for Poland is kind of like London is for England when it comes to the 'type' of people and lifestyle compared to the rest of the country. Many don't like the city, but it really is one of those places where the best thing to do there is what is least done; get lost and walk around. Good on you.
I hope you can enjoy the 'royal' bath park. Shame you didn't come during the summer. The energy is amazing.
Thanks very much! 🤩 Yeh on this particular day I was fairly chill 🧘🏻♂️ (I’m not always that chill tbh 🫢😂) and having a fun time the whole way!
Yeh I can definitely see the Warsaw/London comparison. I do kinda have a love/hate relationship with London each time I go there, depending on what I’m doing and which area etc.
Some of my Polish 🇵🇱 friends did say similar things to what you mentioned about Warsaw & to try the smaller cities instead 😝 I thoroughly enjoyed it though!
Yeh it would be nice to see the city in summer weather ☀️ but at least now I have a good excuse to return 🙌🏼
@@n1ckburt0n I love Warsaw, don't get me wrong. So many parks and things to do for you to relax... it's all about how much time you have for work vs. how much time you have for yourself.
Definitely go to some more cities but, also to smaller towns to do some kayaing or etc. Nature is simple but, great here. Good luck with that!
Oh yeh completely 😎🧘🏻♂️ a good work/life balance is so soooo important! I’ve lived and worked in a few capital cities before & it’s definitely exciting at times but draining at others.
Yeh I will totally go and check out more of Poland 🇵🇱🌳 & get some content for the channel too!
Zatem nie narzekaj, będzie o jednego narzekającego mniej.

I commute by the M1 every single day and I must point out that you missed the station Politechnika (Technical University) which is my everyday destination and coincidentally the ugliest station we have. You need to take a tour of the M2 since that line has stations that are way more modern and impressive.
Haha 😂 yeh I would’ve passed through it on the train 🚊 but I don’t remember much about it 😝 is there much to see above ground there other than the Technical University?
I’ve already filmed an M2 video…it’ll be uploaded soon 👀 , those stations are definitely a lot more colourful and modern.🙌🏼
Plac Wilsona means Wilson's square
Got it 😉🚇 very cool station!
Well done. Where are you from?
Thank you! 😎🙌🏼 I’m from Middlesbrough, UK 🇬🇧
@n1ckburt0n All the best for you!
Thanks, Marcin 🙏🏻😃 you too!
@@n1ckburt0n That moment when I have never been to England
but I know every city because of the football club 🤣
Haha 🤣 yeh that’s usually the only reason foreigners ever know Middlesbrough! 😝…and even less so after too many years in The Championship rather than the Premier League… ☠️⚽️
It’s not the most exciting town ever, but it’s near the coast 🌊 has some beautiful countryside 🌳 close-by & the people are generally very friendly. 😃
Reason why people watch vids of their own country is to keep an eye on the facts and stats that people in said vid said, i,e., you.
They will point out if you go wrong.
Haha 😂 this is EXACTLY what I was getting at with those comments I made in the video 👀
I do know a lot of people are also just genuinely interested in what visitors think of their city/country & the algorithm also probably serves up content based on location too sometimes 🤓
I’m trying to improve everything with each set of videos anyway & constructive comments can help with that 🧠😎🚇
It is a blue line ... only on the map
...
Well, yeh…I’m used to referring to lines by colour cos I lived in Lisbon 🇵🇹(where they’re named by colour) and in Seoul 🇰🇷 (where they have a mix of names/numbers but it’s so much easier to use the colours if you’re taking a big journey using like 4 lines 😜😂).
I also put in M1 🔵 in the title/description/video/tags so…😛🚇
What’s your favourite thing about Warsaw? 🇵🇱🚇
safe city and friendly ppl (cold on the outside, warm on the inside) ... not too big to have nice and clean and walkable streets, yet not too small to have everything you need
@glenlu5832 I’d agree on all of that definitely 😎🙌🏼
very walkable city, there's always something to do, a lot of places to go to. people are mostly nice and the public transport will take u anywhere. I really enjoy living here
@Rojz-yt6yt fully agree on all of that! 😎🇵🇱🙌🏼

I visited Warsaw and used the metro ! Is clean and do the job but really nothing special ? You can see was build with low budget ! Also is very noisy
I quite liked it tbh, the above ground of each area does add to the experience though 😎🌳…agree on the noise lol it was quite hard to hear the announcements & film the video if there were trains anywhere near 🔈🚊
Do you have any metro systems that you prefer? 🌎 🚇
@ if you have chance try and have look Sydney Australia metro is just amazing
I’ve actually been to Sydney & used the trains there…it was back in 2016 though 🚂 their new metro system looks so good! I guess if the channel really takes off I’ll be able to go back there & check it out 😝🇦🇺🚇
@ Yes the new metro system is back to the future with amazing design of station !
wARSZAWA JEST PIEKNIEJSZA D bERLINA; WOW ZGADZAM
Haha yeh Warsaw is very nice indeed! 😎🇵🇱
POLSKA JEST PIEKNYM KRAJEM MAZURY; GORY GDANSK NIEMIECKI ; CZY POLSKI
