Paris Romantic Night Tour with Champagne Cruise and Dinner

Meet your guide at your hotel and step aboard the iconic Żuk, a classic Polish minibus that sets the tone for a unique and atmospheric city experience.

The walking part of the tour begins in Warsaw’s Old Town, the historic heart of the city. At Castle Square, learn how Warsaw developed over more than 700 years. Hear stories of ambitious kings, medieval trade routes, and the diverse influences brought by settlers from across Europe.

Sigismund's Column, originally erected in 1644, is located in Castle Square and is one of Warsaw's most famous landmarks. The column and statue commemorate King Sigismund III Vasa, who in 1596 had moved Poland's capital from Kraków to Warsaw. 

Castle Square is one of Warsaw’s most important public spaces, located in front of the Royal Castle, the former residence of Polish monarchs. Its distinctive triangular shape is dominated by Sigismund’s Column and surrounded by historic townhouses. The square also marks the beginning of the famous Royal Route leading south through the city.

For centuries, the Royal Castle served as the official residence of Polish kings. After being burned and looted during the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, it was almost completely destroyed following the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. In the postwar years, the Castle was carefully rebuilt and restored as a symbol of national resilience.

St. John’s Archcathedral is one of Poland’s national pantheons, standing next to the Jesuit Church in the heart of the Old Town. Together with the surrounding historic district, it forms part of Warsaw’s UNESCO-listed cultural heritage.

Continue through narrow streets lined with historic townhouses and viewpoints overlooking the river. The walk concludes at the Old Town Market Square, framed by colorful façades and lively cafés. Here, hear the legend of the Warsaw Mermaid and, if you’re lucky, encounter a traditional barrel organ player performing historic melodies.

On the way back to the minibus, your guide points out preserved fragments of the original medieval city walls and explains how the Old Town was meticulously reconstructed after World War II.

Cross the Vistula River to Praga on the city’s eastern bank. Enjoy scenic views of the natural riverside before exploring a district that survived World War II largely intact. Praga’s Belle Époque buildings, lively courtyards, and authentic atmosphere offer a rare glimpse of pre-war Warsaw. Once neglected, the area is now a vibrant center of art, culture, and local life, still largely untouched by mass tourism.

Back in central Warsaw, stop near the former Polish Communist Party headquarters. After 1945, the new regime faced the immense task of rebuilding a destroyed capital. Architects saw this as a unique opportunity to redesign the city, but their plans had to follow Soviet-style ideology. See firsthand how functionality and propaganda were combined in postwar Warsaw.

The Palace of Culture and Science is the most recognizable symbol of Warsaw. Built between 1952 and 1955 as a gift from the Soviet Union, it remains a striking reminder of the communist era and a dominant feature of the city’s skyline.

At the end of the tour, guests may choose a convenient drop-off location.
