Self Guided Legends and Uprisings Walking Tour of Warsaw
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Warsaw was 90% destroyed in WWII. Every building you'll see in the Old Town was rebuilt from rubble by ordinary citizens who refused to let their city die. This self-guided audio walking tour on the Tourific app takes you through that story, from the clock tower that stopped when the bombs fell, to the tiny statue of a child soldier wearing an oversized helmet, to a hidden courtyard with a wishing bell that locals swear grants wishes.
You'll hear legends of sword-wielding mermaids and a basilisk that terrorised medieval cellars. You'll stand where a shoemaker became a colonel and where a few thousand fighters chose to die on their feet rather than in a gas chamber. Over 500 travellers have walked this route with us, and some have written to say it left them in tears.
Start anytime, pause for pierogi at a milk bar, go at your own pace. No group to keep up with, no fixed schedule. Works offline, available in 9 languages, and comes with a full refund guarantee if it's not for you.

5.00Great self paced guided tour. Informative and easy to follow using the map and images to check in right place. Enjoyed that could stop and start if wanted to spend longer in one place and then immediately pickup and resume all at my speed and comfort rather than being herded in a group Great experience and value for money that will make me recommend to others and try more tours on my travels
Informative and fun walk

5.00I love these self paced walking tours! We had the loveliest walk with around the Warsaw old time, the amount of information was just right - not too deep, not too vague, great for a first time visit. I liked that the points of interest and stories included different historical periods and stories from both real history and the myths. The app was also intuitive and easy to use. Thank you!

5.00A nice discovery, we wanted to take a guided tour of Warsaw but we didn't know how to manage the times, by chance we found this proposal. Very convenient, to manage at your own pace and full of curiosity
Cheap and without foreign guides
