Description
Discover Warsaw's most authentic and surprising soul: Praga , the neighborhood that survived the war, resisted communism, and today pulses with art, music, and legends.
On this 2-hour walking tour, we'll travel through streets that preserve their original architecture, murals that tell stories, and squares that blend tradition with modernity. We'll begin by the monumental Church of St. Michael and St. Florian , a symbol of working-class spirit, and continue past the majestic Orthodox Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene , a reminder of the neighborhood's cultural diversity.
On Targowa Street and the historic Różyckiego Bazaar , we'll travel back in time to bustling markets and clandestine smuggling. We'll stroll through the colorful open-air gallery of Prague murals, eventually reaching the famous Ząbkowska Street , with its secret courtyards and the legend of the lady still waiting for her love.
We'll end at Plac Koneser , a former vodka distillery now a cultural epicenter, where you can continue exploring the new face of Prague.
This tour isn't just history: it's life, art, mystery... and the chance to experience Warsaw like a true local.
