For the other meanings of Praga in the Warsaw context, see Warsaw/Praga.

Praga Południe [1] is a district of Warsaw. It is quite diverse: while Gocław and Gocławek are relatively new residential areas built in the 1960s and 1970s, Kamionek and Grochów have a history on par with other settlements that then formed Warsaw, like Ujazdów and Mokotów, Saska Kępa is a prestigious mansionesque area that is home to many embassies and Olszynka Grochowska is mostly a forest.

Nowadays it's mostly about cheap Asian clothing, sometimes counterfeit, and most of the sellers are Vietnamese. From time to time, some CDs or DVDs can also be seen there - they're counterfeit too.
