Walking Tour in Warsaw
This walking tour in Warsaw begins near the Palace of Culture and Science, completed in 1955 as a Soviet gift to Poland, and leads through areas connected to the city’s Jewish heritage, including the Nożyk Synagogue, the only prewar synagogue in the city to survive World War II, before continuing toward historic green spaces such as the Saxon Gardens, established in the 18th century as part of a royal complex.
Highlights
- Stand beside the Palace of Culture and Science, a 1955 high-rise that remains one of the tallest buildings in Poland and a symbol of the city’s postwar reconstruction.
- Walk through the area around the Nożyk Synagogue and Próżna Street, where surviving prewar buildings mark the former Jewish district.
- Enter the Saxon Gardens, an 18th-century public park that includes the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, established in 1925 to honor unidentified Polish soldiers.
Meeting point
Meet your guide at the Grand Fountain in the Park of the Palace of Culture.
Itinerary
Start at the Grand Fountain in the park surrounding the Palace of Culture and Science, a building completed in 1955 as a gift from the Soviet Union to Poland. Designed in the Socialist Realist style, it remains one of the tallest buildings in Poland and houses theaters, museums, offices, and an observation terrace. From here, walk through the modern city center, an area largely rebuilt after the destruction of Warsaw during World War II.

Continue toward the historic Nożyk Synagogue, consecrated in 1902 and the only prewar synagogue in Warsaw that survived the war. Nearby lies Próżna Street, one of the few streets in the former Jewish district that still preserves prewar residential buildings. Along the route, pass the Jakub Janasz Palace, built at the end of the 19th century for industrialist Jakub Janasz and later used for administrative and institutional purposes.
Walk onward to the Saxon Gardens, established in the 18th century as part of a royal residence complex and later opened to the public as one of the first public parks in Poland. Within the gardens, see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, created in 1925 to honor unidentified soldiers who died for Poland’s independence, where a ceremonial guard is maintained throughout the year.
