Shot bars in the Pawilony off Nowy Świat, the vodka museum in Praga, clubs until morning and a boat on the Vistula: here's how to plan your stag do or hen party in Warsaw, with the best things to do and prices in złoty.

You pay in złoty, and cards work almost everywhere; tip about 10% in restaurants, usually in cash on the table even if you pay by card.
All costs and money-saving tips ↓Night buses marked with the letter N run from 23:15 to 04:45, mostly 2 times an hour, with the hub at Dworzec Centralny; the metro runs until 03:00 at weekends.

Warsaw public transport night lines ↗There's no closing time: Smolna runs until about 08:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, Luzztro into the morning, Niebo until 03:00. Shops and petrol stations across the city don't sell alcohol to take away between 22:00 and 06:00; bars and restaurants serving drinks are exempt. So stock up before 22:00, or just stay in the bar.
Drinking alcohol in public is banned in Poland, in streets, squares and parks. Warsaw's exception: on the Vistula boulevards on the left bank you're allowed to drink, by council resolution upheld by the Supreme Administrative Court. If you're driving: 0.2 per mille, and from 0.5 per mille it's a criminal offence. Bring ID; the clubs check.

A weekend night costs more than a weeknight, September is the most expensive month and January the cheapest; hostel beds cost a median of about €13 a night.

Your group's a bit different? The itinerary generator builds a plan around your group, budget and mood, using the same venues.
Budget
In Warsaw, half a litre of beer costs 15–20 zł in bars, a shot at the Pijalnia 8–12 zł, and a cocktail 25–35 zł. The shooting range (200–500 zł per package), rooftop bars and charter boats are what push the budget up; the Pijalnia, pierogi and milk bars keep it down.
| Option | Per person | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| One night out | €35–70 | dinner, two bars and a club on Nowy Świat or in Praga |
| A day with an activity | €70–135 | plus a shooting range, an escape room, bowling or a boat |
| Weekend | €140–290 | two nights out, one activity, one night in a double room, travel not included |
Guide prices per person, based on the prices of the venues and tours on this page. The bride or groom usually doesn't pay; their share is split across the group. The planner above adds up what your programme costs.
All prices in euros, converted at the ECB rate of 9 October 2026. Travel isn't included, as that depends on where you're coming from. Accommodation is based on the country's price level. Work out your own budget with the cost calculator.
Seasonal tips
These dates come round every year. If your weekend falls on one of them, the city will be packed. If you'd rather keep things relaxed, plan around them.
In May, on the Night of Museums, more than 300 venues open with free entry until late into the night.
Two-day music festival at the Służewiec racecourse; the date moves between late May and mid-August.

Every Sunday from July to September at 12:00 and 16:00, free Chopin recitals at the monument in Łazienki Park.
