Detailed itinerary

We will start the trip in the Royal garden called "Łazienki". The Garden is located in a district which was not destroyed during the Second World War, so most of the monuments there are original and they came from XVIII century.

After the visit in The Royal Garden we will take our guests to the Monument to Warsaw Ghetto Heroes - a monument which commemorates the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during The Second World War.

Next to the Monumement to Warsaw Ghetto Heroes stands "POLIN" - the Museum of the history of Polish Jews. Special design and presented a 100-year history of Polish Jews creates a very interesting and the most modern museum in Warsaw. We are glad to inform our guests that after City Tour you have a possibility to visit inside the museum on your own because it is interactive and you do not need to have a guide. We would be delighted to drop our guests off to the "POLIN" after the tour.
