Olsztyn Nightlife, Poland
Although Olsztyn, the capital of the Warmian-Mazurian Voivodeship, is not a very big city, its streets become very animated at night. Olsztyn nightlife revolves around two centers: the Old Town (Stare Miasto) and the Warmian-Mazurian University campus (Kortowo). Located in the woods surrounding Kortowo Lake, the campus is one of the largest in Poland. Except its numerous sports facilities, nice views of the lake and small shops/fast-foods, the campus has an interesting way of entertaining students: each dormitory has a club/bar on the first floor.

If you’re looking for some good Polish food, you can try "Świeże Zupy", an intimate soup bar, Restaurant Zamkowa, Hotel Gallery 69 or Hotel-Restauracja Taverna Pirat. There are some tasty Greek (Greco), Italian (Diavolo Pizzeria, Pepperoni) and Japanese (Yoko Sushi) restaurants. The vegetarian restaurant “Greenway”, had become a local celebrity, not only because of its mouthwatering dishes, but also due to its small rates. The local dish called ‘zapiekanka’ (bread baguette with mushrooms & cheese), served by most fast-foods, is definitely a must.
