I joined a food crawl through local milk bars and tried kartacze with new friends from Nomax — discovering Bojary's alleys felt effortless with the group. We even planned a day trip to Białowieża Forest together.
Nomax connected me with a small photography walk around the Ratusz and the Mauzoleum-Cmentarz Getta; we ended the evening at a craft-beer bar on Lipowa. I left with new friends and local tips I wouldn't have found alone.
