What You Will Do
Discover the cultural richness of Warsaw’s Praga. That district located just across the Vistula river from Warsaw’s Old Town, has a centuries old history and escaped the major devastation during World War II.
Meet me in front of the St. Florian`s Church and start discovering this exceptional Warsaw neighborhood. Walk along 19th century tenements that haven't changed since WWII, and sneak in to their backyards. Find courtyard shrines with Virgin Mary, and cool street art. Discover pre-war Jewish heritage, and walk through revitalized former industrial complex.
This tour will show you a completely different face of Warsaw, more local, hip, and authentic. It offers a special vibe and charm while walking its streets among locals who have been living here for many generations.
