Not sure what to bring back home from your trip Warsaw? From Polish vodka, to communist-style design homeware and folky patterned textiles, read our selection of the best souvenirs you can find in Poland’s capital.

Polish Posters

Head to one of Warsaw’s graphic art galleries (40 Hoża Street or 28/30 Piwna Street are particularly good) to explore the vast collection of Polish posters including vintage film and theatre posters, children’s illustrations and contemporary works. If you want to make Warsaw relevant purchase, go for Ryszard Kaja’s ‘Warszawa’ poster featuring the city’s communist landmark the Palace of Science and Culture.

Retro Design Mugs

Warsaw themed communist-style mugs are another great gift, especially for design lovers. The best place to get one of these is the Reset shop in the creative district of Mokotów (where you will also find vintage Polish furniture, toys and stationery) or the Neon Museum shop located on the eastern side of the river in the Soho Factory complex.
