This tour is especially recommended for first-time visitors.
You will see the city highlights but also some places popular among the Varsiovians rather than the tourists and feel the unique city atmosphere.
We will walk around the Old Town and Royal Route to see all its iconic landmarks, historical churches, palaces, monuments, and enjoy the atmosphere of small lanes with cozy cafes and beautiful views. You will see an amazing place destroyed by 90% during WW II, then excellently reconstructed, getting the place on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
We will visit the oasis of greenery: the XVIII-century Saxon Garden in the center and Łazienki Palace and Garden – a huge green complex with a beautiful royal residence.
You will see the former Ghetto area – the place inhabited by hundreds of Jews, almost totally exterminated by the Nazis during WWII.
On the Vistula River bank, you will take some breath and will see the Warsaw panorama from the top of one of the most modern and iconic buildings in the city.
