  Together with my Russian friend Darya, I had a walking tour in Sródmiescie with Łukasz.
I highly (and Darya too) recommand Łukasz's tours.
He is, of course as... read more a guide,very knowledgeable. He loves his city and shared it with us.
He showed us and commented many interesting points, courtyards, buildings, squares. And Łukasz made always sure we were happy and comfortable.
Well he is a tour guide for a reason.
Plus Łukasz gave us hints how to satisfy our thirst for knowledge if ever needed. I wont tell how exactly, you will need to book the tour to discover it by yourselves.
Thank you Łukasz for this great afternoon ! I wish you the best for your carreer and life !

He showed us all the remaining sites and current memorials, which btw. we would have never found without him and gave... read more us detailled information about what happened there. It is really interesting He also took the time to answer all our questions. Furthermore, he also gave us some really interesting insights on Polish society nowadays.
We really recommend doing the tour with Lukasz, it is really worth the money. Also exploring the city by bike is a different experience than just walking or subway.

It covers multiple spots where you will have a chance to see WWII remains mix with the new Warsaw.

Thank you so much Lukasz!

  Lukasz led a friend and I on a custom tour of Warsaw, with a focus on the Praga District. To start, he asked us about what we were interested to... read more see that day, and worked the day around that. We covered lots of ground! 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.

  Lukasz has such a passion for his city, and it shows! If you want a wonderful, personable tour guide, Lucasz is your guy. I asked him all kinds of off-beat... read more questions, and he willingly answered all of them. Warsaw is an interesting city with a fascinating, tragic history. Lukasz does a fantastic job of giving you the general overview, but also pointing out secret places and small things you wouldn't have noticed or understood.
Worth every penny and then some! Love from Elisa and Tony, Copenhagen

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.
