At the heart of Europe, Poland’s capital stands out in terms of its intense growth and innovation. The city authorities support an active society and pro-environmental enterprises. Culture, arts and sports are open to all. Warsaw has proven that sustainable development is its priority. Over the years, the Polish capital has become the region’s economic leader, thereby strengthening its presence on the international stage. There has been an increase in investment in modern infrastructure and a growth in the number of business centres. Investors appreciate the business-friendly conditions on offer, which have translated into Warsaw’s high position in league tables for business-friendly locations. Warsaw is also an important point on the global meetings industry map. Undoubtedly, due in part to its modern airport, which continues to break records for numbers of passengers. Warsaw’s prestige has also been strengthened by the many key international events organised here, drawing the world’s attention to the capital of Poland. The city of Chopin, however, not only concentrates on business but also on culture through the creation of a broad range of prominent events. These include outdoor festivals focused on bringing in large crowds as well as smaller concerts, performances and exhibitions. With each year, both the residents of Warsaw and tourists have increasingly more to choose from in terms of how they spend their free time. New museums, sports facilities and leisure spaces continue to appear, as well as a host of interesting and innovative ideas thanks to initiatives proposed by local activists as part of the participatory budget for Warsaw. The city also knows how to take advantage of its location by the River Vistula, offering an increasing number of attractions for those who love nature, sports or just pure fun. The broad spectrum of cultural and leisure activities, the city’s great and varied cuisine and accessible transport is available not only to those who live in or visit Warsaw’s city centre, but also all city districts. The diversity and dynamic growth of Warsaw is why the number of tourists is increasing year on year. Public opinion polls show that both foreign and domestic visitors to the city, as well as its residents, are all positive about the changing image of Warsaw. Poland’s capital city continues to modernise but remains friendly both for – and thanks to – visitors and residents.

of residents have a positive opinion of the state of greenery in the city4

Warsaw is a unique city in terms of its nature. Warsaw boasts a large and semi-wild river running through it, the Vistula. What is more, it is one of only two capitals in the world bordering a national park. The Kampinoski National Park (accessible by Warsaw public transport) is a remarkable place where city residents and visitors like to spend their time for rest and recreation. It has also a positive impact on the city as the 38-hectare forest supplies Warsaw with clean air. Importantly, as many as 79% of city residents live not farther than 300 metres from green urban areas of at least 5,000 m2 in size. Another positive landmark are Warsaw’s green areas which are more than just wild stretches by the river. The downtown area, the oldest urbanised part of the city, has a number of historical parks from different eras, representing different fashions and styles:

sentimental (upper and lower Arcadia Park)

19th century baroque

(Praski Park)

(Saxon Garden)

20th century landscape style modernist

(Skaryszewski Park)

(Dreszer Park)

The range of green areas, in particular in the summer time, is extremely broad both for those who like to spend their time actively, as well as for those who enjoy culture and the arts. There are an abundance of varied outdoor events: workshops (educational, artistic and other), music, theatre and dance events, as well as outdoor games and sports competitions. The Chopin concerts in The Royal Łazienki Park are part of Warsaw’s summer traditional events. There are also 164 outdoor gyms located in the many green areas of the city. 1, 5, 6 Source

WARSAW’S RIVER VISTULA The Vistula is a large, semi-wild river, the central part of which runs through Warsaw. It stretches through the city for 28 km. Its right bank is kept in its natural state and has no hydraulic structures along a fragment of almost 4 km, which is truly unique in Europe considering the size of the city. This area is a part of the Natura 2000 network which manages different bird habitat protection mechanisms and alluvial meadow restoration projects. Archipelagos of islands, islets and backwaters make it easier for mammals to cross the river. The capital’s residents and Warsaw tourists also have the opportunity to see rare and protected mammal species such as beavers, otters and elks along the river’s banks. Source1, 2, 3

A whole variety of activities can be pursued along and on the river: walking, jogging, biking, winter cross-country skiing, taking a cruise on the river sightseeing boat, water tram, ferry, or on a motorboat. Kayaking, paddle boarding and wakeboarding are also available, not to mention traditional punting. The river offers an infrastructure that supports different activities which include:

7 official beaches:

The common opinion among the river’s visitors is that the Vistula is a unique combination of nature and culture in the city, a coming-together of civilization (left bank) and wildness (right bank) in the heart of the city. What is most appreciated is the river itself, peace and quiet, nature and greenery, beautiful landscape and beaches. Source5

WARSAW CONFERENCE MARKET – SIZE AND CHARACTERISTICS The diagrams presented below are based on data from the Demand Outlook system maintained by Z-Factor, which collected detailed information about over 12,000 events that took place in 2015 in Warsaw. Demand Outlook does not include all conference venues in Warsaw – it focuses primarily on hotel establishments of key significance to the conference and events market in Warsaw. These are mainly 5, 4, and 3-star hotels of the most important hotel chains. Their share in the total number of events in the study was over 86%, while in terms of space rented – almost 90%.
