Isometric Warsaw

Isometric Warsaw turns the entire city of Warsaw into an isometric pixel map you can explore in your browser: all 517 square kilometres, 197,000 buildings and 1.9 million trees drawn as little pixel blocks, with 26 tram lines, over 1,600 trains a day and around 370 flights moving on real timetables — and real sun, seasons and weather to go with them.

It is easy to play with: drag the map around, then jump into the flight simulator and fly your own plane over the city. It works in English and Polish, needs no sign-up, and has no ads. In its first week, over 20,000 people from 94 countries visited, spending 700-plus hours exploring, and more than 2,700 people flew over 5,700 times — people treat it as a city you can play with, not a static picture.

Author Bedirhan Yıldırım says the first version took just two days, and he has kept adding features based on user feedback. The code is not open source yet — he says he hopes to release a version later — so for now, the version on his own website is the one you can play.

One thing to keep in mind: the trams and flights are simulated from real timetables, not live positions. Enjoy it as a pixel city to explore and fly over, not as a live transport tracker.
