Boat tours
Warsaw
Adventure offers a pleasant and relaxing cruise on the
Vistula River between May and September.
The river is a great place from which to see the sights while sipping a beer. Expect to meet the
symbol of Warsaw -- the mermaid -- while on board.
Bus tours
Mazurkas Travel and Warsaw
City Tours offer three-hour tours of the main sights, including the
Old Town and
Royal Route, sometimes with stops at
Wilanów Palace or the
Royal Castle. Pick up for tours is from a variety of city hotels. Do-it-yourself tour son public transport include bus
180, operating between
Powązki Cemetery and
Wilanów, and bus
100, which passes by the Old Town,
Citadel and
Warsaw Rising Museum.
Driving tours
Visitors can take a trip around the Old Town in dorozki, a horse-drawn hackney cab. These are run by individuals, licensed by the city, and wait for passengers at the
Old Town Square. An outfit with the unusual name of the
Workshop of
Unusual Travels - PiPiN for short - offers vintage car and bicycle tours of Warsaw's major sites as well as some of its lesser-known spots off the beaten track.
Walking tours
Trakt Guide and
Travel Agency offers personalised
English-speaking tour guides, while Our
Roots specialises in tours of the city's
Jewish sites. These tours usually last between four and five hours and are by no means cheap. But they allow visitors to design their own tailor-made tours, with stops at attractions and site visits of special interest to them.
Excursions from Warsaw
Kampinoski Park Narodowy (
Kampinoski National Park)
Kampinoski National Park, with walking trails, education centre and abundant wildlife, begins at Warsaw's northwestern border and stretches west for about 40km (25 miles). One of its major features is its inland sand dunes, which stand in stark contrast to the surrounding peat bogs. The park is open from dawn to dusk and admission is free.
Reach it by bus from the central station,
Warszawa Zachodnia,
Aleje Jerozolimskie 144.
Toruń
This
UNESCO World Heritage walled medieval town is where the
16th century astronomer and mathematician
Mikolaj Kopernik (
Copernicus) was born. Picturesque pathways along the Vistula River lead to the ruins of the
13th-century castle of the
Teutonic Knights; the gothic townhouse where Copernicus was born is located at Ulica Kopernika 17. The city is 227km (141 miles) northwest of Warsaw and can be reached by train from
Warszawa Centralna station in three hours.
Zelazowa Wola
This tiny village 54km (34 miles) west of Warsaw is where the great composer
Frédéric Chopin was born in 1810. A museum dedicated to him is located in his family's manor house.
Żelazowa Wola is located inside Kampinoski National Park and can be reached by bus from the main station, Warszawa Zachodnia, Aleje Jerozolimskie 144. Both Mazurkas Travel and
Polish Landscape offer day trips here from the major hotels in Warsaw.
Łódź
This somewhat gritty city-- it's pronounced `wooch - located 140km (87 miles) southwest of Warsaw, hides a treasure trove of palatial mansions, art nouveau public buildings and museums. By all means, visit the vanguard art galleries but the
Central Museum of Textiles in an early
19th-century spinning mill is where the city's heart lies and the
Jewish Quarter is worth a stroll around. Frequent trains form Warsaw complete the journey between
2-12 hours.
