Old Town with Royal Castle + Palace of Culture and Science: SMALL GROUP /inc.Pick-up
Description
SMALL GROUP TOUR is intended for customers who would like to discover Warsaw in small groups. This means that you may share transportation and attractions with others during the tour, but for transportation we use vehicles with a maximum capacity of 8 passengers.
The tour package includes visits to two places: Warsaw Old Town with the Royal Castle and the Palace of Culture and Science.
Royal Castle—a magnificently beautiful Baroque-Classical residence of the princes dating from the 16th century, and the seat of the First Polish Republic: the king and Parliament. Warsaw Old Town is the most prominent area of the city.
The Palace of Culture and Science is a flagship of the monumental Communist architecture of the 1950s. The enormous structure houses restaurants, a university, theaters, cinemas, offices, conference rooms, and concert halls—more than 3,000 different rooms in total.

What to expect
Old Town
A remarkable place and definitely a must-see for all visitors to the Polish capital.
The Old Town consists of the town square, surrounded by characteristic tenement houses, and a centrally placed fountain with a sculpture of a mermaid, the city’s symbol, without which the square would be almost unimaginable. Other elements of the Old Town include Castle Square, with the Royal Castle next to it, and Sigismund’s Column. Not far from the Old Town are Piłsudski Square and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
A series of streets known as the Royal Route begins in the Old Town. The Royal Route is the city’s best-known thoroughfare and connects two former royal residences. The Old Town features numerous atmospheric cafés, restaurants and art galleries.

A magnificent Baroque-Classicist royal castle on Warsaw’s Castle Square. Originally, it was the residence of the Dukes of Mazovia and, from the 16th century onwards, the seat of the governing bodies of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth: the king and the Sejm (the lower and upper houses of Parliament).
In the 1920s and 1930s, it was the seat of the head of state and the residence of the President of the Republic of Poland. During a visit to the Royal Castle in Warsaw, you can see, for example, the royal chambers built for King Stanisław August Poniatowski, as well as the Sejm chambers. The most outstanding rooms are the Throne Room, decorated with red velvet and gold, the Knights’ Room and the Ballroom, featuring the largest ceiling painting in Poland.
The permanent exhibitions include the Gallery of Paintings, Prince Joseph’s apartment in the Tin-Roofed Palace, and the multimedia exhibition “The Destruction and Reconstruction of the Castle”. The Royal Castle, together with the Old Town, has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Palac Kultury I Nauki
It is hard to miss this place. The palace is a controversial building for many Varsovians. Some believe that it does not fit in with the rest of the city, while others see Warsaw as “multi”—a vibrant city with room for such a building. The enormous structure houses restaurants, a university, theaters, cinemas, offices, conference and concert halls, and even a swimming pool—more than 3,000 different rooms in total.
The entire palace is a perfect example of the social realist style of the 1950s. The interiors are covered with marble and mosaics, light enters through gigantic windows, and all of this contributes to the unique atmosphere of the place.
After entering the terrace on the 30th floor, visitors are rewarded with a magnificent view of Warsaw. It simply must be seen!
