Warsaw

capital and largest city of Poland

🇵🇱 Poland · 52.2300, 21.0111

Warsaw is recorded as a filming location for 19 productions. Wikidata records these shoots at town level — somewhere in Warsaw, rather than at one identified spot. Wikipedia names it for 14 more. 1 video game is also set here.

3 productions were filmed at 15 places inside Warsaw rather than at Warsaw itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.

“The city itself has featured in numerous movies, both Polish and foreign, for example: Kanał and Korczak by Andrzej Wajda and The Decalogue by Krzysztof Kieślowski, also including Oscar winner The Pianist by Roman Polański.”

Movies and TV series filmed in Warsaw

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Warsaw as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Warsaw

3 productions shot at 15 places inside Warsaw, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Warsaw itself.

3 more places are inside Warsaw — see them on the map.

Set here

Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Warsaw, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
