Eastern Warsaw is comprised of the Varsovian districts of Rembertów, Wawer, and Wesoła.
Understand
Rembertów
Rembertów is a district of Warsaw. It was built as a settlement for the workers of the Warsaw-Moscow railway, and then was used as a training ground for the military. It has been a part of Warsaw since 1957, but it doesn't look very much like a district of a big city. Rembertów is further divided into Kawęczyn-Wygoda, Nowy Rembertów and Stary Rembertów.
Wawer
Wawer (dead link: January 2023) is a district of Warsaw. It is the most rural district and this has some advantages unless you need to commute. It is also the biggest district of Warsaw in terms of area. It is further divided into: Aleksandrów, Anin, Falenica, Marysin Wawerski, Miedzeszyn, Międzylesie, Nadwiśle, Radość (meaning "happiness"), Sadul, Wawer proper and Zerzeń.
Wesoła
Wesoła is the youngest district of Warsaw. It mostly consists of low-rise residential housing. The Polish word wesoła means "happy". Wesoła is further divided into Stara Miłosna, Wesoła-Centrum, Wola Grzybowska and Zielona-Grzybowa.

- Nearly all Wawer is a one big forest. The best starting point for a trip is the bus terminus in Międzylesie (the name roughly means "inter-forest" or "between the forests"). You can walk through the forest to Wesoła - this shouldn't take more than an hour or two (unless you get lost).
