Praga-Północ, Historic district in northeastern Warsaw, Poland

The 11.42-square-kilometer district features pre-war lamp posts, traditional sidewalks, and preserved residential blocks from the early twentieth century.

Praga received municipal rights from King Władysław IV Vasa in 1648 and later merged with Warsaw at the conclusion of the eighteenth century.

The district contains multiple religious buildings, including Catholic churches, Orthodox temples, and former Jewish prayer houses, reflecting its multicultural population through centuries.

The Warsaw Zoo, located in Praga-Północ, houses over 5,000 animals of 500 species and maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year.

The Różycki Bazaar, established by a pharmacist in the nineteenth century, remains a traditional trading center where merchants sell various goods.
