Port Czerniakowski, Inland port in Śródmieście, Poland.
Port Czerniakowski is an inland port on the left bank of the Vistula River in the Śródmieście district of Warsaw, situated between Solec and Czerniakowska streets. It now serves mainly recreational boating and hosts small watercraft facilities along the embankment.
The port was established in the second half of the 19th century and became a center for building and repairing river vessels. Shipbuilding activity ended in 1965, after which the site shifted toward recreational use.
The riverbank near the port is a place where people come to walk, sit by the water, and watch boats pass. It feels removed from the city center, with a slower pace that draws both locals and visitors looking for a moment near the river.
The port is easy to reach on foot from the riverbank, best approached from the stretch between Poniatowski and Łazienkowski bridges. A visit is most rewarding from spring to autumn, when the embankment is active and the weather makes walking by the water comfortable.
The last vessel built at this yard was a wooden boat made to resemble an ancient Egyptian craft, built specifically for the 1966 Polish film 'Pharaoh'. It was the final product of the shipyard before operations came to a close.
