CLASSIC WARSAW WALKING TOUR: Old and new Warsaw, key landmarks and sights

In the historic center the tour explores the city's most beautiful palaces and churches. They remind of the most glorious time in Warsaw's history, when it was the capital city of the Pol­ish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the largest, most democratic and multicultural country in Europe.This part of the city is also the place of the largest reconstruction effort in the world. That achievement was recognized when the Warsaw Old Town was enlisted by UNESCO as a world heritage site.
The tour will explain how it happened that Warsaw was completely destroyed during the second world war. It`s crucial to understand this city. 70 years ago Warsaw was a huge, quiet, empty, burned, ghost cemetery of rubble and ruins. The population was less than one thousand... A few decades later Warsaw is one of the most thriving and growing European cities of two million. How is it possible? This tour will tell you a fascinating story of a "phoenix city', the only of its kind.
To make this story complete, you will also see the new business centre, to get a feel for the contemporary face of the city, but also to learn how communism changed the landscape and character of Warsaw forever.
