What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We will meet on Castle Square, next to Sigismund’s Column, a very tall monument dedicated to King Sigismund III Vasa. He is holding a sword and a large cross, so you can’t miss it!
We will finish our tour on Plac Pięciu Rogów, extremely poplar, pedestrian public space full of cafes, galleries and restaurants. If you’d like recommendations for restaurants, museums, bars, or anything else during your stay in Warsaw, please don’t hesitate to ask!
