Districts and neighbourhoods of Warsaw
Warsaw is a city with powiat rights, and is further divided into 18 districts (dzielnica [ˈd͡ʑɛlɲit͡sa]), auxiliary units which are legally integral parts of the city as an entity, but with some limited powers devolved to their own local governments (or ‘self-governments’ as they are typically referred to in Polish)z
