What to expect
Holy Cross Church (Kosciol Swietego Krzyza)
Fryderic Chopin was one of Poland’s most famous musicians, but he died abroad. Before his death, he asked his sister to bring his heart back to Warsaw. I will tell you how she smuggled it in, and we will see where Chopin’s heart is located.
10 m
Krakowskie Przedmiescie
We will walk along one of Warsaw’s most representative streets, Krakowskie Przedmieście Street. Here I will tell you:
-Why Warsaw became the capital of Poland
-Where the oldest café in Warsaw is (and how the Poles are connected to European coffee history)
-Why Warsaw’s most representative street is called "Krakowskie Przedmieście" (the suburbs of Krakow)
40 m
Plac Marszałka Józefa Piłsudskiego
We will enter Warsaw’s most important square, with a magnificent view of the Warsaw skyline.
10 m
Presidential Palace
After World War II, Warsaw was 70% destroyed. But Poland’s Presidential Palace was spared. I will explain why.
Royal Castle in Warsaw - Museum
Adolf Hitler ordered his soldiers to blow up the Royal Castle in Warsaw (Zamek Królewski). They drilled holes for dynamite in 1939, but filled these holes with explosives in 1944, five years later. I will tell you why it took so long and why it took another 40 years to rebuild the Royal Castle.
Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela
This is Warsaw’s most important church. And it was built twice. At this stop, I will tell you why.
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
We will see the Monument to the Unknown Soldier and hear its story.
5 m
Kanonia
Today, this beautiful place is called “little Amsterdam” by locals; there is even a wishing bell at Kanonia Square. But for hundreds of years before that, there was a cemetery here. I will tell you what happened to it.
10 m
Rynek Starego Miasta
Warsaw’s Market Square (Rynek Starego Miasta) is one of the most beautiful places in Warsaw. I will show you some photos of this place before and after World War II and tell you more about the reconstruction of Warsaw after World War II.
10 m
Warsaw Barbican (Barbakan Warszawski)
Barbakan is part of Warsaw’s city walls, but when it was built, it had no military significance. I will tell you who built it, why, and who used it.
Gnojna Góra
Today, Gnojna Góra Hill is one of the most romantic places in Warsaw. People come here and lock their love into padlocks amid beautiful surroundings. But I would not do that, because of this place’s history. I will tell you the story.
10 m
Old Town
We will discover hidden treasures of Warsaw’s Old Town. I will tell you more about:
-Piwna Street (Beer Street)
-The Pigeon Lady
