City tour of Warsaw
|
» |
We suggest that you order a tailor-made program and have a local guide at your disposal. The sightseeing route usually leads through the Old Town that was completely destroyed during World War II and then rebuilt so carefully, that it in 1980 it was included in the UNESCO Heritage List. You get the opportunity to visit the Old Town Market Square, the New Town, The Barbican, St. John’s Cathedral and the Royal Castle as well as the somber Monument to the Warsaw Uprising and the Saxon Gardens with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. You may also choose to see the Great Theater of Warsaw with an interesting Apollonian Quadriga in its tympanum, and you may stroll along the Royal Route to the Holy Cross Church where the urn containing Chopin’s heart rests. You may then browse around the Warsaw City Museum. |

Jewish traces in Warsaw
|
» |
Before World War II, Warsaw was one of the greatest Jewish agglomerations in the world. Although their interesting heritage was almost destroyed by the Nazis, there are still many visible traces of Jewish culture and history. Our tour takes you to the Monument to Warsaw Ghetto Heroes that expresses the tragedy of the Ghetto, to Zamenhoffa Street, Mila Street (also to the bunker where commander of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Mordechai Anielewicz committed suicide), the Umschlagplatz (the place from which trains would leave for the concentration camps), the Nozyks’ Synagogue (the only synagogue in Warsaw open to the general public), the Jewish Theatre (the only professional Yiddish-language theater in Europe), the Jewish Cemetery and Janusz Korczak’s Orphanage. |
