What to expect
Warsaw Ghetto
As soon as you meet the guide, you will learn more about the history of the Warsaw Ghetto, Polish Jews, and the Holocaust. You will see the architectural concept of the POLIN Museum, the Ghetto Heroes Monument, and the area of the former Jewish Ghetto.
25 m
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began on April 19, 1943, near Nalewki, Zamenhofa, and the area of the former ghetto walls. Jewish fighters launched armed resistance against Nazi deportations, transforming the streets and bunkers of the Warsaw Ghetto into a symbol of courage, defiance, and the struggle for dignity.
10 m
Krasinski Palace
Krasiński Palace is one of Warsaw’s most beautiful Baroque palaces, built in the late 17th century for the powerful Krasiński family. It was designed as a grand urban residence and features an elegant facade rich in classical sculptures and symbolism. Today, the palace is part of the National Library complex and is best admired from the surrounding Krasiński Garden, which we will walk through.
10 m
Warsaw Uprising Monument
The Warsaw Uprising Monument is a dramatic bronze memorial honoring the 1944 uprising and depicting insurgents heading into battle and disappearing into the ruins of the city. You will hear some fascinating history here!
5 m
New Town Square
Warsaw’s New Town blends pastel-colored townhouses, cobblestone lanes, and quiet charm. Smaller and calmer than the Old Town, it feels as though Warsaw is breathing between history and everyday life.
15 m
Old Town
In Warsaw’s Old Town, you will see vibrantly reconstructed townhouses, narrow cobblestone streets, and lively squares crowned by the Main Market Square and the Mermaid Statue. The area is framed by medieval walls and the Barbican, anchored by St. John’s Archcathedral and the Royal Castle overlooking Castle Square.
30 m
Royal Castle in Warsaw - Museum
Exterior visit. The Royal Castle in Warsaw was the residence of Polish kings and the seat of Parliament. Destroyed during World War II and meticulously rebuilt, it now stands as a symbol of Poland’s resilience and cultural heritage.
10 m
Warsaw Barbican (Barbakan Warszawski)
The Warsaw Barbican is a red-brick fortress connecting the Old Town and New Town. Rebuilt after World War II, its towers and walls evoke medieval Warsaw with storybook drama.
5 m
