Tour description

World War 2 tour explores the most important places related to dramatic war events: 

  • Castle Square
  • A former Nazi-German district
  • Execution sites
  • Pilsudski Square (former Adolf Hitler Square)
  • The Jewish Ghetto. 


You can't understand present-day Warsaw without knowing what happened here 80 years ago. Warsaw was among the cities which suffered the most during World War II. 
The city and its inhabitants experienced the horror of bombings, and the terror of everyday life under the eye of the SS but also courageously fought in two uprisings: the 1943 Jewish Ghetto Uprising and the 1944 Warsaw Uprising.
