A WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF STANISLAW BAREJA Warsaw
A WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF STANISLAW BAREJA Activity Overview
This one makes sense only for polish groups as Bareja and his movies is a cultural thing and foreigners will not have a background to appreciate this one. Choose other tour if participants are foreigners.
Stanisław Bareja’s Movie Locations Walking Tour is a stroll through the city centre for anyone who knows the iconic quotes by heart and loves having a laugh at them. The guide takes the group to places they’ve seen on screen and reminds them that Warsaw could be just as absurd as it is in the best comedies. It’s a walk packed with humour, familiar scenes and stories that show the capital with a twinkle in its eye.
What to expect: this is a fact-based walking tour, presented in a light, anecdotal form — no lectures or dates to memorise, with the focus on stories about people and places.
A walk through the city centre, where we’ll see locations we know and love from Stanisław Bareja’s comedies. Iconic scenes from ‘Teddy Bear’, ‘Alternative 4’, ‘The Changeovers’ and ‘There’s No Rose Without Fire’ were filmed right here in Warsaw. The guide will take you around selected locations and share stories about the absurdities of times gone by — the so-called “Barejisms”.
Example route: Mirowska Market Hall, Grzybowska Street, Grzybowski Square, Królewska Street, Marszałkowska Street, Kredytowa Street and Piłsudski Square.
In addition to the guide, a coordinator will accompany your group. They’ll pick you up from your office or another chosen location and take you to the meeting point with the tour guide. It’s also possible for all participants to meet directly at the tour starting point.
Live music – 1299 zł per group: a walking tour such as In the Footsteps of Stanisław Bareja’s Films can be enhanced with a street musician playing guitar or banjo, who accompanies the group throughout the entire route, playing, singing and adding commentary while performing classics of old, traditional Warsaw street music in the style of pre-war street hits. This option naturally extends the tour by around 30 minutes.
The tour can be conducted in English for an additional fee.
