Hoogtepunten

This tour reveals the dramatic story of 20th-century Warsaw—a city shaped by modernity, war, and postwar transformation. Beginning among early skyscrapers like the iconic Prudential Tower, you’ll trace the rise of a dynamic prewar metropolis, with stops including the elegant Wedel Historic House. Walking through the very heart of the city, you’ll encounter powerful contrasts: the monumental Palace of Culture and Science, a symbol of the communist era, and the hauntingly preserved Próżna Street—the last intact street of the former Jewish Ghetto, where echoes of wartime history still linger. The tour continues through the vast socialist-era housing complex 'Za Żelazną Bramą', offering insight into everyday life under communism, before concluding at the revitalized Norblin Factory—a striking example of how Warsaw blends its industrial heritage with contemporary urban culture.

About Warsaw

Warsaw is Poland's capital on the Vistula River, a city carefully rebuilt after the Second World War, with a restored old town, palaces and modern towers.

Warsaw was almost entirely destroyed in the Second World War, and its Old Town was rebuilt brick by brick from paintings and plans, work that earned it a UNESCO listing. Castle Square, with the Royal Castle and Sigismund's Column, leads into the market square, where a mermaid, the city's symbol, stands guard. The Palace of Culture and Science, a Soviet-era skyscraper of 1955, still dominates the skyline.

Top-ranked sights in Warsaw: Warsaw Old Town (Stare Miasto), Palace of Culture and Science (Palac Kultury i Nauki), Praga.
