Best of Warsaw Free Walking Tour
Overview of the tour in Warsaw
The BEST OF WARSAW tour is an easy, 2-hour walk across 3 different historical areas - the royal Warsaw, classicist Warsaw and communist Warsaw. From the Old Town we will take you along the elegant Krakowskie Przedmiescie street, the main axis of Warsaw historical city center, lined with 18th century patrician houses and aristocratic residences. On our way we will stop in the grandiose Pilsudski Square where you will see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and if you are lucky also the change of the guards! Then we will head south to the area inhabited in the 19th century by Fryderyk Chopin - you will see his last apartment in Warsaw and the Church of the Holy Cross containing his heart! After that, we will head west, towards the 20th century city center, a scene of heavy fights during WW2. Here you will see the famous Prudential Tower, the first Warsaw skyscraper, which played a very important role in the Warsaw Uprising. The tour will end in front of the Palace of Culture and Science, the tallest and the most soviet Warsaw building, the famous gift from Stalin to the People's Republic of Poland.
This activity includes:
- Holy Cross Church
- University of Warsaw
- Presidential Palace, Warsaw
- Castle Square, Warsaw
- Palace of Culture and Science
- Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Things to note
LATE ARRIVAL
Please note that every guide does a 15-minute introduction at the starting point, so if you are going to be a few minutes late, just head to Castle Square and look for a group with a guide holding an orange umbrella. If you are going to be 20–40 minutes late, head to the Church of Saint Ann and wait for the group in front of the church. Please don't message/call us, as the guide will be busy guiding and won't be able to respond.

Our guides accept payments in cash (PLN, EUR, USD, GBP) and most of us can also process card payments.
BAD WEATHER
We never cancel tours due to bad weather. In case of rain or intense sunlight an umbrella might be useful (you can buy a cheap one in the Rossmann store in the Old Town in st. Senatorska 2).
