Warsaw Ghetto & Old Town Walking Group Tour

Warsaw Ghetto Tour with a Guide and Old Town Walk

This guided Warsaw Ghetto tour is a unique walking experience that connects two important chapters of the city’s history. The tour begins near the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, in the area that once formed the heart of the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II.

As you walk through the former ghetto streets, your local tour guide will explain the dramatic events that took place here, including the daily life of Jewish residents, the tragic history of the Holocaust and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Along the way you will visit important memorials and historical sites that preserve the memory of those who lived and died in this part of the city.

The tour then gradually leads you toward Warsaw’s Old Town, a place that symbolizes the incredible resilience of the Polish capital. Almost completely destroyed during the war, the Old Town was rebuilt with remarkable dedication and is now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
