Private Historical Guided Tour in Warsaw

It is the oldest portion of the city which contains numerous historic buildings, mostly from 17th and 18th centuries, such as the Royal Castle, city walls, St. John's Cathedral, and the Barbican. The settlement itself dates back to between the 13th and 14th centuries.

During World War II, the Old Town was nearly totally destroyed and subsequently reconstructed. The project was the world's first attempt to resurrect an entire historic city core and was included on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1980. The reconstruction efforts were again recognized in 2011 when all its documents and records were added to UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme

Sigismund's Column (Polish: Kolumna Zygmunta), originally erected in 1644, is located at Castle Square. It is one of Warsaw's most famous landmarks as well as the first secular monument in the form of a column in modern history. The column and statue commemorate King Sigismund III Vasa, who in 1596 had moved Poland's capital from Kraków to Warsaw.

The Warsaw Barbican is one of few remaining relics of the complex network of historic fortifications that once encircled Warsaw. Located between the Old and New Towns, it is a major tourist attraction

The town of New Warsaw had been established in the early 15th century, being located to the north from Old Warsaw. In 1791, it had been incorporated into the city of Warsaw. It is here that Marie Curie, née Maria Sklodowska was born on November 7, 1867 and soon changed history forever

Warsaw's Old Town Market Square (Polish: Rynek Starego Miasta) is the center and oldest part of the Old Town of Warsaw, Poland. The district was damaged by the bombs of the German Luftwaffe during the Invasion of Poland (1939)and the suppression of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising (1944). The ancient Market Place was rebuilt in the 1950s. Today it is a major tourist attraction.The current buildings were reconstructed between 1948 and 1953 to look as they did in the 17th century when it was mostly inhabited by rich merchant families. A bronze sculpture of The Warsaw Mermaid by Konstanty Hegel has graced its center since 1855.

The Royal Route is a former communication route that led southward from the city's Old Town. It now comprises a series of connecting Warsaw streets that feature a number of historic landmarks including many connected to Fryderyk Chopin who lived here for the first 20 years of his life. After his death, as requested by the composer, his heart was removed, brought back to Warsaw and eventually entombed in one of the churches. Join me for a tour to hear more amazing facts.

A kilometres-long riverside promenade of gazebos with sun loungers, stone benches and seats made from tree branches, a lookout point and a mini beach with wicker baskets as well as a historic statue of Warsaw Mermaid are all a great backdrop for a leisurely stroll along the river, a bike ride, as well as a night of fun in one of the clubs operating here seasonally. On warm summer nights thousands of locals and visitors come here to party and enjoy a fiesta-like atmosphere. Right next to the boulevards are the Copernicus Science Centre, the Museum of Modern Art and an Old Power Plant Complex with multitude of bars and restaurants.

Today it is a true hidden gem completely unknown to both locals and visitors. The wooden houses were part of the reparations Finland was forced to provide to the former USSR following World War II. The Jazdów estate initially consisted of 90 houses, which were built for the employees of Warsaw Reconstruction Office, whose task was to prepare large-scale post-war reconstruction projects. part of the Jazdów estate remains, with a total of 27 houses, of which only seven are inhabited by locals, the remaining 20 being occupied by various NGO’s and organisations with one goal in mind, conservation.
