About This Tour
Discover Warsaw’s downtown off the beaten track - its Southern part. You will see places that even locals may not know. First find the former communist headquarters. Then stroll over a mysterious section of the Warsaw Escarpment. We’ll look for a secret meeting spot from the 1700s, and for the former Mason's lodge. Then we'll look for bullet holes on façades of buildings where the German Nazis resided. Wander around a cool urban garden, and stop at an elegant 19th century park. Walk down an elegant venue with 19th century residences of Warsaw elite. Cross a significant communist era housing estate, and visit a beautiful university complex. Then find out where the "Pianist" movie was filmed, and stop at my favourite sweet shop to try some of their incredible pastry. The tour will come to its close at a cozy food venue, where perhaps you will like to stay. This tour will allow you to see Warsaw from a local's perspective, and to see a fascinating area that visitors usually miss.
