About This Experience

Experience the beauty of the Old Town and Royal Route. Learn about the history of the sites, about Warsaw`s turbulent past and one of the most outstanding reconstruction projects in the world history.

Walk along cobbled narrow streets of the Old Town, and learn which parts of buildings are original, and which are reconstructed. Learn about the most important moments in Polish history. Then walk down the famous Royal Route, the most representative artery of the city. Here you will find many important buildings from historical standpoint and outstanding examples of Warsaw architecture. Discover the most breathtaking highlights as well as little-known hidden gems.

After this tour you'll understand why it was decided to reconstruct this area after WWII, how difficult it was in the post-war reality, and why UNESCO made such an exception to award the area that was almost entirely rebuilt.
