Walking Audio Tour of Wilanów Palace Grounds
Wilanów Palace is Poland's "Little Versailles" as you'll discover on this self-guided GPS audio tour. It's also the home of Poland's greatest King, Jan Sobieski III, a legendary man of many virtues, talents and interests.
Classically educated, he was a writer, a formidable warrior, a leader, statesman, gardener, and patron of the arts, science and culture. He was a man who loved his family, God and country and sought peace to develop and uplift his people during his golden era.
We'll explore the Palace complex together, learn its story and reveal secrets discovered by archaeologists and researchers only a few years ago. There is so much to know about the early history of Wilanów, its majestic landscape, its artistry and deep symbolism, and the legendary battle that shaped European history and established King Jan as a truly heroic figure.
