sightseeing and tours












Warsaw for everyone
Depending on one's mood, one can go to one of many museums or go for a stroll. Worthwhile is the view from the Palace of Culture and Science... Those tired of the city's bustle can take in Warsaw’s environs, see castle ruins, or take a ride on a historic railroad.
More information about tourist attractions can be found on: www.warsawtour.pl/en/tourist-attractions.html
Spending a few days is worth it in order to experience the unforgettable atmosphere. The city’s diversity and richness means that there is something for everyone. Historic palaces and churches meet modern architecture, and cosy cafes compete with fashionable music-filled clubs. Regardless of the goal of your visit, Warsaw will make an impression upon you.

  • Warsaw Tourist Information points
    Tourist information centres can be found in the vicinity of railway stations, at airports or in town centres. They are marked with internationally recognised ‘I’ symbol (or sometimes IT - Informacja Turystyczna).
    The opening times vary depending on the seasonal traffic. The standard opening times are between 8 am and 4 pm. During the holiday peak season (June to August) or on weekends they may stay open as late as 9 pm. Information can be obtained in person, by telephone, e-mail or fax.
    Tourist information centres can help you plan your sightseeing route around town or find overnight accommodation. They will also tell you about public transport fares, organised events or the local tourist attractions.
    Information centres also supply promotional leaflets about the town and the region, street maps, information booklets and guides. Advice is also given, for example, about local Accident & Emergency facilities, specialist shops and current discount price offers for tourists. You can also ask them to call for you a taxi, reserve a restaurant table or help you hire a car.
