Warsaw Highlights: Old Town Guided Walking Tour in English
Step into a city where myths mingle with history! Why is Chopin’s heart hidden in a church? Why does King Sigismund’s column shake when war is near? And did you know Warsaw’s mermaid once battled a fisherman? We start at Copernicus’ statue (because even the stars revolve around Warsaw!), pass the Presidential Palace, and sneak a peek at Warsaw’s most prestigious hotels where royalty and spies once roamed. At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we witness the eternal flame before recharging with liquid gold - hot chocolate at Wedel! Refueled, we descend the charming Bednarska Street, uncovering the lost world of craftsmen, before stepping into Warsaw’s Old Town fairy tale; narrow houses, medieval walls, and a secret viewpoint. We finish at Podwale, where heroic legends of the Warsaw Uprising meet a mermaid’s whisper.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Krakowskie Przedmiescie
One of Warsaw’s most iconic boulevards, Krakowskie Przedmieście is where the city’s past and present meet. Once part of the royal route, today it dazzles with grand churches, noble palaces, and literary landmarks. It’s the perfect place to feel the rhythm of the city; elegant, historic, and always full of life.
Plac Marszalka Jozefa Pilsudskiego
This vast, symbolic square holds one of Warsaw’s most sacred places: the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where an eternal flame honors those who died fighting for Poland’s freedom. Behind it once stood the grand Saski Palace - destroyed in WWII, now finally being rebuilt, brick by brick, as a powerful act of memory and resilience.
Old Town
More than just a historic district, Warsaw’s Old Town is a symbol of the city’s soul. Flattened during WWII and rebuilt from memory and paintings, it’s a place where the past feels close. Colorful tenements, cobbled streets, and hidden courtyards invite you to wander slowly.
