  I recently took the Warsaw Ghetto Remains Tour with Lukasz and it was an absolute pleasure. Lukasz was a very engaging guide who made easy conversation and showed this part... read more of Warsaw’s history in a way that made it very real.

It covers multiple spots where you will have a chance to see WWII remains mix with the new Warsaw. Lukasz was happy to answer all questions and shared such a vast knowledge of the people, places and events of this time period. After the tour was over, I was hoping it would go on for longer! Thank you so much Lukasz!

  My husband and I have traveled extensively, but never have we met a guide as outstanding as Lukasz.
After our tour, Lukasz returned us to our hotel via... read more an Uber. Unfortunately, my husband left a very expensive camera in the car and didn't realize it until we had already left Warsaw for Krakow. We called Lukasz to find out if he could check with the Uber driver, and he not only did he do that, but he retrieved the camera and made arrangements to deliver it to us via a carrier on the fast train to Krakow. If this had happened in the US, we have no doubt that we would never have seen the camera again. We are eternally grateful to him for his over and above the call of duty action and honesty!
We would highly recommend him to anyone who visits Warsaw. He's amazing!

Highlights included seeing some sites where “The Pianist” was filmed, walking around and lunch in the Praga district, and storied details around Lazienki park. We also stopped for yummy local snacks and beverages, and we ended back at our city apartment. It was a full, fascinating, and beautiful day with Lukasz.

Frank Loyd Wright inspired house from 1935-1936, d Frank Loyd Wright inspired house from 1935-1936, designed by Bohdan Pniewski. It's located just right next to the Ministry of Defence, Belvedere Palace and Lazienki Royal Park. It's a duplex with a garden and rooftop terraces built for families of a lawyer and engineer from Warsaw. Interiors are decorated with Polish marbles and alabaster, and they have been preserved in the eastern unit. Lech Wałęsa used to live here for a while before he moved to the Belvedere Palace as the first President of Poland after the Fall of Communism. The designer Bohdan Pniewski was mostly known for his projects of state buildings such as the Polish Parliament, National Bank of Poland, and his biggest achievement which was the rebuilding and redesigning the Grand Theater and National Opera after the Second World War. . . . . . #pniewski #modernizm #architecturegram #architecturedaily #modernistdesign #instaarchitecture #igerswarsaw #polandphotos #insta_warsaw #nowawarszawa #discoverwarsaw #warsaw #poland

Such a waste of potential. Once it was a fancy apa Such a waste of potential. Once it was a fancy apartment house designed by a prominent architect Józef Napoleon Czerwiński. He died of heart attack watching his life's work turning to ashes during World War II. I know it from his great-grandson who wrote me an email a couple of years ago. It's one of the few surviving buildings on the former site of the Warsaw Ghetto, flattened by the Germans after the Ghetto Uprising in 1943. After the war the building was nationalized in accordance with policy of the Polish communist government. Since then it's been housing social apartments. Nobody has been taking care of it, but it's still occupied. This is what the residents see while entering their building. Even though it's neglected, these blue tiles are amazing💙💙💙 . . . . . #warsawpoland #walkingtour #warsawghetto #jewishhistory #citytour #localsonly #architecturegram #historicarchitecture #oldhouselove #deserve2preserve #archi_ologie #houses_phototrip #ig_europe #igerswarsaw #instawarszawa #warszawa_miasto
Incredibly green courtyard of the Szare Domy (The Incredibly green courtyard of the Szare Domy (The Grey Houses), a housing estate built in 1928-1932 according to the design of Jan Stefanowicz. The colony is a classic implementation of modernist functional architecture in Poland, inspired by De Stijl, a Dutch avant-garde movement. On black and white pictures from the 1930s and 1940s the buildings are already covered with plants, it's an old tradition of the colony. In 1992 it was inscribed in the Historic Monuments register of Warsaw.
