Stop At: Muranów, Warsaw, Poland

Next is the Muranów district - the witness of the tragedy of the Jewish Ghetto, created by Nazis in 1940. The first impression is that it is just a regular neighbourhood filled with squared blocks of flats. But there is much more from the past to be discovered with the help of your guide.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Chlodna Street, ul. Chlodna, Warsaw 00-000 Poland

Have you seen the Pianist movie? If yes, you must remember the place portrayed in the film: the wooden bridge built near the intersection of Chłodna and Żelazna streets to link two separated parts of the Ghetto. As we can see in photographs, it reached the third floor of the buildings, which allowed the “Aryan” trams, German military transports, and cars to pass beneath it. With the help of the guide and your imagination, find the remains of the scene and compare them with archival photographs.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Nowolipki, Warsaw, Poland

In the year 1943, when the last part of the Jewish community was about to be deported to the extermination camp, they created the underground resistance and started the insurrection aimed against their oppressors. This fight took three weeks and resulted in the complete demolition of the Jewish district in Warsaw. Today, the guide will uncover the covered layers from the past for you.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Bielańska, Warszawa, Poland

Later in World War II, an agreement was reached between the Western Allies and the dictator of the USSR, Stalin; as a result, post-war Poland was about to become a country subordinate to the Soviet Union. The last attempt to avoid this fate was the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, which resulted in the Nazis destroying 85% of Warsaw. Red Army captured the empty city three months after the fall of the insurrection, in January 1945.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Praga Polnoc, ul.Zabkowska, Warsaw Poland

The next part is the enigmatic Praga district, located on the Eastern side of the Vistula river. When the minibus crosses the river, one can see picturesque views of the wild riverside. Praga is the only district of Warsaw that survived the apocalypse of WWII - that's why it represents the picture of the pre-WWII city filled with belle-epoque buildings with small and noisy courtyards. Once neglected, it becomes a hip and artistic part of Warsaw, still not affected by commercial tourism.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Śródmieście, Warsaw, Poland

Back in the central district, your Żuk minibus parks near ex Polish Communist Party headquarters. This regime, settled up in 1945, had a challenging task to cope with - reconstructing Poland's capital city. What's more, since it seemed to be the only chance ever in time, architects decided to remodel Warsaw and make it a more comfortable place to live and work. But unfortunately, they had to cope with the Party, which opted for a Soviet-style city filled with overwhelming buildings and a happy proletariat. Did they make a compromise? Let's check it out!

Duration: 30 minutes
