Excursion 1

Royal Route

Our first trip will be focused on some parts of the Royal Route that for a long time was the main artery of the city. We will start at the Old Town which is one of the most prominent attractions in Warsaw. It includes the Royal Castle which was the seat of Polish rulers from the 16th century and the Caste Square at which towers column commemorating King Sigismund III Vasa – one of Warsaw landmarks. It is also a place where the second constitution in the world was passed. The Old Town was completely destroyed during World War II and then reconstructed in the following years with a great degree of precision. For that matter, it was included at the UNESCO World Heritage list.

At the excursion we will take you for a guided tour around the streets of the old town and undergrounds reviling more about the history of the city of Warsaw. Then we will take a stroll along Krakowskie Przedmieście Street that is easily the most picturesque street in the city. Meanwhile, we will see multiple historic churches, the Presidential Palace and much more.
