About this tour
This session follows the 1944 Warsaw Uprising through the city's rebuilt streets, from the Uprising Monument and a sewer entrance once used by insurgents to the reconstructed Old Town and a surviving stretch of the ghetto wall on Sienna street. The guide explains how the Old Town was rebuilt from paintings and photographs after the war. It stays close to what actually happened where it happened.
The call opens with a sound check, then moves between the three stops at a measured pace, with time to take in each site before moving on. Questions are welcome throughout, and a short list of dates and names follows once the call ends.
This suits anyone with a personal or historical interest in the uprising, whether or not a visit to Warsaw is planned. It also suits anyone who wants the rebuilt Old Town explained honestly.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
