Vistula River Beach, Warsaw, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland
The Vistula River intersects Warsaw, making up two independent organisms united in one town at this 28 kilometres long part of the river. The right bank of the river is home to Praga, which contrary to the left river bank survived World War II without major damage. The left side is home to the Old Town, Mokotow and Zoliborz. Those who live on the left bank consider Praga to be a run-down slum, dangerous and inhabited by the dregs of society. The inhabitants of Praga on the other hand consider themselves to be the only true Varsovians and despise the inhabitants on the left bank for being a bunch of conceited newcomers without any true understanding of the culture and traditions of the town.
