How to get
The tour
The guide will start the tour on time. However, if you are a few minutes late, look out for the white umbrella. At least 10 minutes after the start of the tour, you will surely find the guide still on Castle Square.
You will first go to the Royal Gardens of the Royal Castle, then to the Panorama Terrace on the medieval Dung Hill, where you can enjoy a view to the Praga district and the Vistula river. The main sight is the Market Square and the Barbican.
All of this is reconstructed.
In the New Town is located the birthplace of Marie Curie. The end of the tour is at the Monument of the Warsaw Uprising.
Take the opportunity to ask the guide about insider tips. He is more than happy to help.
We wish you a pleasant and informative tour!
End point
The tour ends at the Warsaw Uprising Memorial. From there it is an 8-minute walk to the starting point or 5 minutes to reach the Market Square.
For further details, please ask the city guide, who will be happy to help after the tour.
