Intro

✨ Join us for our second walk through Warsaw — this time along Krakowskie Przedmieście, the former grand salon of the capital and one of the most elegant sections of the historic Royal Route. It is a perfect route for exploring Warsaw at a relaxed pace, with a map, a video, and a story guiding you step by step.

During this walk, we start at Castle Square and head toward the Nicolaus Copernicus Monument. Along the way, we pass St. Anne’s Church, the former Guardhouse, Dom Polonii, Dziekanka, the Adam Mickiewicz Monument, the Presidential Palace, the Potocki Palace, Hotel Bristol, Hotel Europejski, the House Without Corners, Father Jan Twardowski Square, the Visitationist Church, the University of Warsaw campus, the Czapski Palace, and the Holy Cross Basilica with the heart of Fryderyk Chopin.

This is a walk full of palaces, churches, monuments, literary traces, musical stories, and history written into façades. You can treat it as a continuation of our Old Town walk, or enjoy it as a separate route along Krakowskie Przedmieście. Just open the map, play the video, and follow us from point to point — through the places that shaped the elegant, representative character of Warsaw for centuries.
