Mobile ticket

Step into a city where myths mingle with history! Why is Chopin’s heart hidden in a church? Why does King Sigismund’s column shake when war is near? And did you know Warsaw’s mermaid once battled a fisherman? We start at Copernicus’ statue (because even the stars revolve around Warsaw!), pass the Presidential Palace, and sneak a peek at Warsaw’s most prestigious hotels where royalty and spies once roamed. At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we witness the eternal flame before recharging with liquid gold - hot chocolate at Wedel! Refueled, we descend the charming Bednarska Street, uncovering the lost world of craftsmen, before stepping into Warsaw’s Old Town fairy tale; narrow houses, medieval walls, and a secret viewpoint. We finish at Podwale, where heroic legends of the Warsaw Uprising meet a mermaid’s whisper.

What To Expect

Krakowskie Przedmiescie

One of Warsaw’s most iconic boulevards, Krakowskie Przedmieście is where the city’s past and present meet. Once part of the royal route, today it dazzles with grand churches, noble palaces, and literary landmarks. It’s the perfect place to feel the rhythm of the city; elegant, historic, and always full of life.

30 minutes • Admission Not Included

Plac Marszalka Jozefa Pilsudskiego

This vast, symbolic square holds one of Warsaw’s most sacred places: the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where an eternal flame honors those who died fighting for Poland’s freedom. Behind it once stood the grand Saski Palace - destroyed in WWII, now finally being rebuilt, brick by brick, as a powerful act of memory and resilience.

I was in awe of Warsaw in ways I thought was not possible. First, I didnt know Warsaw was rebuilt over 70 years ago and as a result my tour was not only super cool and informative, I found Warsaw is a MORE beautiful and very clean city compared most Euro cities. For the first time I met a tour guide who is not only a native but is also well traveled. So my tour was filled with Polish history and fun stories about Warsaw from a travelers perspective. We went for a walk through Warsaw, the Old Town and covered churches, castles, the university and a hot chocolate shop. Theres so much to see and do here. Never had hot chocolate so delicious with an added fruit purée on the bottom from a company that opened in 1817. Iga’s handout was so helpful filled with museums, restos, pastry shoppes, I gave up in my youtube and IG research. This tour also gives a discount for a Chopin concert held daily. A huge THANK YOU IGA!
Iga was a fantastic tour guide.

A great way to experience Old Town / New Town Warsaw. A beautiful section that shows the way Warsaw looked before WWIII. Nice, clean, lively and authentic atmosphere. Iga even took us for vegan hot chocolate ☕️
