The name of the town probably refers to beer brewed here, famous beyond Mazovia already since the Middle Ages. Today Warka brewery continues its ancient tradition.

The city centre is compact and delimits market square with classical town hall dated back to the first half of the 19th century. The picturesque riverside slope forms the base of the 17th-century parish St. Nicholas church, furnished with late Renaissance equipment.

Another monumental temples in Warka are the Franciscan Brothers' church and Baroque St. Our Lady of Mount Carmel church, erected between 1652-1746. Its interior draws visitors' attention with the baroque altars and rococo pulpit. In the district Winiary, in tended park there is palace built in the late seventeenth century and designed by Augustyn Locci. Here, on March the 4th 1747, Kazimierz Pulaski, one of the leaders of the struggle for independence of the United States was born. The impressive monument of the hero stays in the front of the palace, which is the site of Kazimierz Pulaski Museum collecting memorabilia associated with the Poles who fought for the independence of the United States and organizing many concerts, exhibitions and lectures.

On the first Sunday of July, the museum together with the association W.A.R.K.A organizes historical and cultural picnic "Vivat Pulaski" with colourful parade led by Casimir Pulaski and his bodyguard marching past the streets of the town. The organizers ambition is to promote American culture, what is a perfect reason to invite big-bit orchestra, old American cruisers and colourfully dressed young people. The festival guests can expect many competitions, tournaments, and country music concert in the evening.
