Warsaw Old Town
Warsaw's Old Town was completely rebuilt after being levelled in the Second World War, a reconstruction so faithful that UNESCO granted it World Heritage status for the act of rebuilding itself. Free to walk.

The route
Each stop is free to stand in front of, whatever the tour costs.

Lazienki Park is Warsaw's most beautiful green space, a formal garden with a palace on the water, peacocks on the lawns, and free Chopin concerts at the monument every Sunday in summer. Free.
The Palace of Culture and Science is Warsaw's tallest building, a Soviet-era skyscraper gifted by Stalin in the 1950s. Locals have a complicated relationship with it.
