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.

5.00Very good explanations at the most interesting spots of a tour. The length and details make a tour guide obsolete. You can set your own pace, allowing time to absorb what you see and to take photos or videos.
Excellent!!!

5.00A very interesting activity to do on the first day of the stay to better identify points of interest and other visits to make. Moreover, wearing a helmet isolates from outside noise, allowing for immersion in the visit. The time given at each stop is appropriate, and we can stop to take a break and resume the visit (after all, not so bad when some guided tours are done at a fast pace!)
It would be 5 stars if the audio had downloaded

5.00I found this self guided tour by chance. It was really useful finding out more about the area and made me stop to look at it more carefully. Great to be able to go at my own pace.

4.00The audio recording was very quiet - in such noisy places, even at the highest volume level, you had to listen closely to make out the words (with headphones).
