Warsaw is a city with powiat rights, and is further divided into 18 districts (dzielnica pronounced [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).
The current division into quarters was established in 2002. The 18 districts are informally divided broadly into the inner and outer city quarters, as follows:
- Inner city districts
- Śródmieście
- Mokotów
- Ochota
- Wola
- Żoliborz
- Praga Południe
- Praga Północ
- Outer city (or "wreath") districts
- Bemowo
- Białołęka
- Bielany
- Rembertów
- Targówek
- Ursus
- Ursynów
- Wawer
- Wesoła
- Wilanów
- Włochy

Each of the districts is customarily subdivided into several smaller areas, known under the designation of a neighbourhood (osiedle), a unit with no legal or administrative powers, used for statistics or as a designation within the city localization system (Miejski System Informacji).
