Dzień dobry! Shalom! Dobry deń!, that’s how people greeted each other in Praga a hundred years ago. Today, apart from the Polish Cześć, you’ll hear there the Vietnamese Hi!, the Chechen Salam! and the English Hallo!. Go for a walk following the multicultural route and see where you can use each of these words. Get to know which gate led to a cheder, where the best flour was produced, and who still attends the Orthodox church. Learn about pre-war Jewish merchants and craftsmen, Georgians who’ve wandered around the district for a century and modern day Vietnamese: until recently, vendors at the 10th-Anniversary Stadium.
Starting point: Stand in front of the Orthodox church in Praga, pl. Wileński (Wileński Square), ul. Solidarności 52
