00-927 Warschau
Description
Step into a city where myths intertwine with history! Why is Chopin’s heart hidden in a church? Why does King Sigismund’s Column wobble when war approaches? And did you know that Warsaw’s mermaid once fought a fisherman? We start at the Copernicus Monument (because even the stars revolve around Warsaw!), pass the Presidential Palace, and catch a glimpse of Warsaw’s most prestigious hotels, where kings and spies once roamed. At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we experience the eternal flame before recharging at Wedel with liquid gold—hot chocolate! Re-energized, we descend charming Bednarska Street and discover the lost world of artisans before plunging into the fairy tale of Warsaw’s Old Town: narrow houses, medieval walls, and a secret viewpoint. We end in Podwale, where heroic legends of the Warsaw Uprising meet the whisper of a mermaid.

What to expect
Krakowskie Przedmiescie
One of Warsaw's most famous boulevards, Krakowskie Przedmieście, is where the city's past and present meet. Once part of the Royal Route, it now dazzles with grand churches, aristocratic palaces, and literary landmarks. It is the perfect place to feel the city's rhythm: elegant, historic, and always full of life.
30 m
Plac Marszałka Józefa Piłsudskiego
This vast, symbolic square is home to one of Warsaw's most sacred sites: the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where an eternal flame commemorates those who died fighting for Poland's freedom. Behind it once stood the grand Saski Palace—destroyed during World War II and now finally rebuilt, stone by stone, as a powerful act of remembrance and resilience.
20 m
Old Town
Warsaw's Old Town is more than just a historic district—it is a symbol of the city's soul. Flattened during World War II and rebuilt from memory and paintings, it is a place where the past feels close. Colorful tenement houses, cobblestone streets, and hidden courtyards invite you to wander slowly.
30 m
This 17th-century column towers over Castle Square and honors King Sigismund III, who moved Poland’s capital to Warsaw. It is one of the city’s most famous landmarks and a popular meeting point. Just behind it stands the majestic Royal Castle, once home to kings and the heart of Polish political life.
