Bus station Taxi Scam, Arrived from Vilnius, on a long bus ride, there are several Taxis outside the main bus station, since I didn't speak Polish they wanted $200 USD to take me to my hotel, Taxis in Warsaw have meters, don't fall for the scam.

Stay: Stayed at a B&B off of Nowy Swiat, great location, plenty cafes and restaurants and walking distance to major tourist attractions.
