Self Guided Legends and Uprisings Walking Tour of Warsaw
Overview
Warsaw was 90% destroyed in WWII. Every building you'll see in the Old Town was rebuilt from rubble by ordinary citizens who refused to let their city die. This self-guided audio walking tour on the Tourific app takes you through that story, from the clock tower that stopped when the bombs fell, to the tiny statue of a child soldier wearing an oversized helmet, to a hidden courtyard with a wishing bell that locals swear grants wishes.
You'll hear legends of sword-wielding mermaids and a basilisk that terrorised medieval cellars. You'll stand where a shoemaker became a colonel and where a few thousand fighters chose to die on their feet rather than in a gas chamber. Over 500 travellers have walked this route with us, and some have written to say it left them in tears.
Start anytime, pause for pierogi at a milk bar, go at your own pace. No group to keep up with, no fixed schedule. Works offline, available in 9 languages, and comes with a full refund guarantee if it's not for you.
