Description

O n our public bike tour, the question should rather be what isn’t visited. In the 2.5 hours, you will discover not only the major attractions but also the lesser-known corners and places that usually require a separate tour. Of particular note is the area of the former Jewish Ghetto.

The groups are limited to 12 people, which adds extra value to the tour.

Approximately 80% of the tour follows dedicated bike paths. The remaining sections use quiet, bike-friendly streets with low traffic. We avoid busy, high-speed roads, so the route is designed to provide a comfortable and safe cycling experience through Warsaw.
