Walking Tour of Life Behind the Iron Curtain through Warsaw
5.0 (40)Price from: PLN 100.00
Of all the things you think you know about communism, there is one thing you can never understand: its absurdity.
On the surface, it was the Cold War, hammer and sickle, but for the average citizen it was just one ridiculous thing after another making life difficult.
Learn how the Poles managed to survive nearly 40 years of communist oppression with ingenuity, cleverness, and a tractor-load of humor.
Join this walking tour and learn more about: the most controversial building in the entire city (and for more than one reason!), the smallest icon of communism, so cute that you’ll want one of your own, and how people could buy things in completely empty shops; why “What can I get you?” was one of the biggest jokes back then; how the state ensured that Poles did not travel too far; socialist realism and why you will probably think it looks beautiful, while Poles will disagree
Don’t just visit Warsaw—discover it!
