Warsaw is a city best discovered in two chapters; one written on cobblestones, the other carried by the river. We begin at the Warsaw Rising Monument, a powerful tribute to the city’s courage. From here, we wander through the Old Town, its colorful facades and narrow alleys hiding legends of kings, uprisers, and mermaids. The path leads us to the Vistula boulevards, where Warsaw shifts into something new. Modern glass meets history: the green terraces of the University Library gardens, the futuristic dome of the Copernicus Science Centre, and the industrial heritage of Powiśle Elektrownia, now buzzing with vibrant cafés and bars. And then the second chapter begins. We step aboard for a scenic boat ride on the Vistula. From the water, the city reveals another face: bridges arch gracefully overhead, the Old Town towers rise from a distance, and Warsaw’s skyline glows in reflection. It’s a journey that blends legends with landscapes, and shows Warsaw twice, on land and on water.

1Warsaw Uprising Monument
Bronze figures frozen mid-movement capture the spirit of Warsaw’s most defining struggle - the 1944 Uprising. It is not just a monument, but a living reminder of defiance, sacrifice, and the resilience that rebuilt a city from ruins.

2Old Town
A fairytale of pastel houses and cobbled streets, the Old Town was lovingly rebuilt after being reduced to rubble in World War II. Today it feels timeless, yet every corner hums with stories of merchants, uprisers, and the Mermaid who still guards its square.

3Sigismund's Column
Rising high above Castle Square, this 17th-century column honors King Sigismund III Vasa, who moved Poland’s capital from Kraków to Warsaw. Legend says the column trembles when war approaches.

4Mariensztat Square (Rynek Mariensztacki)
A small square with colorful townhouses, Mariensztat carries a unique charm. Once a bustling merchant hub, it became Warsaw’s first postwar housing project filled with music, markets, and everyday life that gave the city its pulse again.

5Vistula Boulevards
On the boulevards, the Vistula sets the rhythm. Bridges glow after dark, street musicians play to the river’s hum, and the skyline shimmers across the water, which is a reminder that Warsaw’s heart beats strongest by its river.
