Tour plan
You will have a unique chance to walk through the streets of the Old Town where most of the battles of the Warsaw Uprising took place. The Polish Security Printing Works is the place that was defended for over a month and until today the traces of the fights are visible on the fence. You will see a church that served as an insurgent hospital – Church of St. Casimir (Kosciol sw. Kazimierza). Between August 21-27 there were fights for the Cathedral Basilica of Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist which ended with complete destruction of the church. The most alluring object in the Old Town – the King Sigismund III Vasa Column was raised in 1644 to be destroyed three hundred years later by Germans who made an attack on the Old Town. During the Uprising the Arsenal was strategic as it was a west point of protection of the Old Town. Today, there is the National Museum of Archeology in this building and its walls still have some marks of fights. Then you will see the Basilica of the Holy Cross (Bazylika pw. Swietego Krzyza) where on September 6 two ‘goliaths’ were detonated. Due to that, the statue of Christ collapsed and fell from the balustrade of the stairs. Also, you will have a chance to take a look at the Monument of Warsaw Uprising located on the southern side of Krasinski Square. In the vicinity of the Monument, you will see the entrance to a sewer used by insurgents!

A great travel agency
AB Poland worked with me to completely customize my three days in Poland and make the most of my time. They answered all of my questions, made great suggestions and built the perfect itinerary all at reasonable enough prices. Plus, my guides Jacek in Warsaw and Kinga in Krakow were knowledgeable and friendly hosts, making conversation easy. Have nothing bad to say at all. I would highly recommend AB Poland.

Warsaw Rising Tour - September 2014
Thank you Piotr Sienicki & AB Poland Travel! The tour that you prepared for my brother & I to retrace the steps of our parents during the Warsaw Rising met and exceeded all expectations. We were aware of our parents story, but wanted to know how it fit into the overall Warsaw Rising. Your specialist guide made it an exceptional event, and joining you afterwards for pierogies was great. I would not hesitate to contact AB Poland for more private tours when I return to Poland.
