Warsaw: POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews Ticket - Your Route Through 1,000 Years: How the Eight Galleries Work

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,142 reviews · 1 day · from $12Our pick

Explore 1,000 years of Jewish life in Poland at Warsaw’s POLIN Museum, with an excellent audio guide and interactive galleries.

“POLIN is a world class museum and is a wonderful and necessary addition to Warsaw’s cultural offerings. Visitors should be aware that this is an intense experience, although the exhibits are straightforward and try not to play on emotion.

Warsaw: Chopin Concert at Historical Venue in Old Town

2.Chopin Concert at Historical Venue in Old Town

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 445 reviews · 1 hour · from $26

Intimate Chopin recital in Warsaw’s Old Town near the Royal Castle, with Polish mead or apple juice and one unforgettable hour of piano.

“This evening exceeded my expectations by a few hundred percent. The performer the evening I went, Klaudia Kudelko, is an international award winning pianist (including best performer at Carnegie Hall) She gave a virtuoso performance not only delivering moving interpretations of a range Chopin's complex and subtle compositions, but also demonstrating the range and capacities of the piano, an instrument she clearly loves. The setting was intimate, the welcome friendly, the mead delicious. I couldn't imagine a weeknight hour better spent than at this event.”

Private Warsaw tour in a retro Fiat 125p, mixing Old Town, Praga, ghetto remains, and WWII history with a guided, half-walk route.

“Wonderful tour! We had just a short time in Warsaw and booked this tour because we hoped to cover more ground in a private tour by car rather than personally walking or taking taxis. We were not disappointed!! Best tour ever. Our guide was funny and engaging while also being clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about Warsaw and it's history and culture. We saw so much in our four hours with our guide, Karol. Highly recommend this tour. Personalized based on what we had already seen, and our interests. Asked questions about what we hoped to see. Felt like spending the evening with a friend!”
