Staying in Wola and Warsaw's business district
Check the distance to a station carefully: Wola stretches well beyond the towers around Rondo Daszyńskiego. Large junctions and construction sites can also lengthen an apparently short walk. Around Grzybowska and Żelazna, former industrial buildings provide useful landmarks when finding your way between a hotel, a meal and the museum district.
