Neon Museum Warsaw (Praga district) - communist-era signs that actually light up at night

So apparently there's this place on Mińska 25 where they've collected dozens of vintage neon signs from communist-era Warsaw, and it's not terrible. The Neon Museum charges 20 PLN for regular entry, but here's the thing nobody tells you: the evening tours (June-August, 40 PLN) are when they actually illuminate all the signs simultaneously. It's like stepping into a retro fever dream, except intentionally.

Getting there is its own adventure. Take Metro M2 to Stadion Narodowy, then bus 141 toward Praga-Południe for about 25 minutes. Exit at Mińska/Ząbkowska and walk 3 minutes. Regular hours are Wednesday-Sunday, noon-6pm, but call ahead because they occasionally close for 'technical reasons' (classic Polish efficiency).

The collection includes original signs from milk bars, cinemas, and hotels that once lit up Warsaw's streets. Perfect for those moody Instagram shots, assuming you can resist making jokes about how everything was apparently neon green in the 1970s.
