Warsaw. The phoenix city. The Paris of the east. The queen who never was. Warsaw is the city that you don’t know you wanted to visit, but will be so happy you did.
Join us on the “Historic Heart of Warsaw” walking tour and discover one of the greatest European stories you haven’t heard of.
Uncover the fantastic stories of the capital of a once great and powerful nation as we take in all the must-see sites (and a few extra hidden gems for good measure).
Sign up for this walking tour if you want to hear about fascinating stories, such as: a 19th Varsovian who accomplished what no one other scientist has to this day, why Warsaw is also called the phoenix city, how Warsaw was the first to put famous people on pedestals (quite literally), the symbol of Warsaw and the interesting legend surrounding it, why the Old Town is on UNESCO’s World Heritage list, how to make even your most secret wish come true simply by counting to three, and more!
