Overview of your Warsaw tour

The tour helps you explore the Jewish heritage in Warsaw. You will see the monument to the Heroes of the Ghetto,  erected in 1948 on the ruins of the Jewish quarter. This extremely powerful memorial stands in front of one of the best museums in Europe - Museum of the History of the Polish Jews POLIN. We drive to the Umschlag Platz memorial, commemorating the deportation of 300. 000 Warsaw Jews to Treblinka death camp and Mila 18 bunker. After that we follow to see the Nożyk Synagogue and Próżna street. Next we proceed towards the remnants of the original ghetto wall. We drive to Chłodna street, where once a wooden footbridge linked two parts of the ghetto. At the end we return to the main Ghetto Heroes Memorial and visit the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. The tour is not available on Tueesdays and some holidays when the POLIN museum is closed.
