One Day in Warsaw

While in Lodz, it is definitely worth devoting a day to visiting Warsaw – the capital city of Poland. The short distance between these two cities makes Warsaw an easy day trip. You will feel the dynamic pace in the biggest Polish city as you learn how its history has affected the cityscape.

You will see the main highlights of Warsaw, such as: The Old Town (it may amaze you that it is only a reconstruction, but so painstakingly done, that it has been added to the UNESCO heritage list) and the Castle Square; the former Jewish Ghetto area and the Nozyk Synagogue; the outstanding Great Theater of Warsaw (one of the biggest theaters in the world); Marszalkowska street (designed in socialist-realism style) with the well-known controversial symbol of Warsaw – the Palace of Culture and Science; the charming English-French style Łazienki Royal Garden and the recently renovated representative alley of Warsaw – the Royal Route.

My father and I recently returned from our Ultimate Poland tour and we really cannot express how impressed we were with the RealPoland coordination, staff, accommodations, food, local guides and transportation. The itinerary was filled with visits to key historic and cultural sites along with some fun activities like making our own Polish pottery and a pierogi workshop - admittedly, my father and I still need to work on these skills. The accommodations were top class European standard hotels. Breakfast each day was provided in the hotels and dinners were pre-planned at various interesting restaurants in whichever city or town we happened to be staying. Lunch was on us, this may seem daunting but the tours are arranged so that a convenient lunch break happens in a square or Old Town area with an ample choice of cafes and restaurants. As for the Polish cuisine, don’t expect kielbasa and pierogis for every meal - they like to mix it up for you.

Our original intent for taking the tour was to learn more about our Polish heritage. We asked to add an extra day on the end so that we could visit my great grandparents village - the Real Poland staff took care of everything for us, an extended itinerary with hotel, transportation and a local guide.

I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the beautiful county of Poland. It's clean, safe and very affordable. Additionally, the staff at RealPoland are amazing - especially all of the "Magdas". If you are considering a trip to Poland and are worried about getting around or finding the right tour I would highly recommend RealPoland they are first class.

Natalia' and Magda's quick responsiveness was tremendous! Overall, my total xperience with Real Poland was excellent. They were helpful during setting up my tour plans, and also very helpful when we had to cancel. Natalia researched my grandfather and found lots of information about him that I did not know. I am satisfied with the work she did and I look forward to traveling to Poland in the future. I hope to visit the area where he was from and maybe meet some of my relatives.
