Cathedral Basilica of the Martyrdom of St. Michael the Archangel and St. Florian

Across the river from Warsaw’s Old Town lies a district called Praga. It was often burned by foreign invaders, but in 1944 it survived against all odds and escaped the fate of many other communities on the other side of the Vistula. Over the years, it acquired a rough reputation due to neglect, but in recent years it has begun to regenerate! Today, you will find bars, restaurants, cafés, and street art along its lanes. On the tour, we will see the district that survived and hear about its history through the exposed brickwork and beneath the graffiti inscriptions. We will experience architectural wonders that have been given new life and, of course, we will also eat and drink at eateries from previous and current generations. What will we eat? Coffee and cake Campfire-style baked potatoes Herring with a surprising twist Polish vodka—but green! Pierogi—the national dish Grandma’s compote A complete meal in a single glass A lovely dessert to complete a fun tour

Discover the cultural richness of Warsaw's Praga. Located directly across the Vistula River from Warsaw's Old Town, this neighborhood has a centuries-old history and escaped the great destruction of World War II. Meet me in front of St. Florian's Church and discover this extraordinary Warsaw neighborhood. Walk past 19th-century tenement houses that have remained unchanged since World War II, and slip into their courtyards. Find courtyard shrines featuring the Virgin Mary and cool street art. Discover pre-war Jewish heritage and walk through the revitalized former industrial complex. This tour shows you a completely different side of Warsaw—more local, hip, and authentic. It offers a special atmosphere and charm as you walk through the streets where locals have lived for many generations. The tour ends at a simple local restaurant with charming 1970s-style interiors! :)
