From 5 pm to midnight on June 30th, you can experience the now reinstated Nocny Market. This paradise of gastronomy focuses primarily on street food both well known and new. You can expect well-stocked bars, music, and of course tons of delicious food all on the now-abandoned railway platform of the Warszawa Główna station under a neon glow.
