Walk through Warsaw’s history by following a sequence of buildings, churches, gardens, palaces, monuments, a square, a district, a city gate, and a fort. Along the way, you will encounter grand civic landmarks, places of worship, commemorative markers, and defensive architecture. The changing character of the stops makes this a rewarding route for seeing how history is represented across the city.
The walk
Stops 1–6 of 14. The rest are in the app.
Palace of Culture and Science
A Soviet “gift” that became Warsaw’s most argued-over building.
Holy Trinity Church
A Lutheran rotunda built by royal permission, rebuilt after wartime destruction, and once Warsaw’s highest building.
Saxon Garden
Warsaw’s first public park, reshaped by kings, war, waterworks and changing ideas of public life.
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
A national memorial born from public argument, now surviving as three wartime-scarred arches.
Tyszkiewicz Palace
A palace built for a quiet-loving hetman, then scarred by war and rebuilt for the university.
