Tours in Warsaw - Poland World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Warsaw - Poland Travel Guide, Tourism http://goo.gl/HmkEIN Warsaw tours 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. =========================================== Warsaw Museums, Warsaw Transport, Warsaw Tours, Warsaw Introduction, Warsaw Attractions, Warsaw Hotels, Warsaw Restaurants, Warsaw Shopping, Warsaw Nightlife, world travel video, Warsaw video, Warsaw, Warsaw Travel guide, Warsaw Tourism, Warsaw Vacation, Poland, Poland travel guide, Poland tourism, Poland vacation, Poland Attractions, Europe === Warsaw - Poland Travel Guide, Tourism, Vacation, Attractions, Travel Tips
