Warsaw Photo Tours
Group Tours
The Old City
Warsaw has two historic districts, called Old Town and New
Town. They are adjacent to each other and the newer section is
almost as old as the Old Town. It lies just north of the Old
Town and is connected with it by Freta Street, which begins at the
Barbican.
Warsaw's Old Town (Polish: Stare Miasto, "Starowka") impresses
tourists with its quaint, cobbled streets and unique old
architecture. It is the oldest part of the city of Warsaw and one of
its most prominent tourist attractions. The heart of the area is the
Old Town Market Place, with its unique traditional Polish
restaurants, cafés and shops. Surrounding streets feature medieval
architecture such as the city walls, barbican and St. John's
Cathedral. Warsaw's Old Town has been placed in UNESCO's list of
World Heritage Sites as "an outstanding example of a near-total
reconstruction of a span of history covering the 13th to the 20th
century."
Warsaw's New Town (Polish: Nowe Miasto) was initially established to
curb the unchecked growth that had snowballed beyond the city walls.
Hence the New Town, founded in 1402, was given its own charter and
corporation along the lines of its elder brother. A market square
and town hall were built and a number of churches and monasteries
sprung up. It was not fortified in contrast to the Old Town. The New
Town was merged with the rest of the city in 1791.
Old Town and New Town are ideal for walks and photography tours -
the whole area is mostly closed to traffic and provides spectacular
scenery and unforgettable atmosphere.
During the tour you will also see the Royal Castle, King Zygmunt's
column and a wide panoramic view from St. Ann's Church belfry as
well as the building of National Library and the modern architecture
of the Supreme Court located close to the New Town.
