What to expect
Krakowskie Przedmiescie
Warsaw's main boulevard, which evokes the city's royal past. Adorned with palaces, parks, and monuments, including the Presidential Palace, the Bristol Hotel, and St. Cross Church, where Chopin's heart is buried.
60 m
Old Town
Warsaw's old medieval core, with its red roofs, colorful houses, and Royal Castle, is the most unlikely UNESCO World Heritage Site, as it was completely rebuilt after almost total destruction during World War II. The reconstruction was carried out so meticulously that you can hardly tell it is not old, and it became an example for the rest of the world.
60 m
New Town Square
This part of the city, strangely called New Town, was also founded in the Middle Ages. It is the birthplace of Maria Skłodowska-Curie. The Barbican, standing between the Old Town and New Town, is the final stop of our walk. Thank you for joining us!
