WALKIN TOUR: A SWEET STROLL THROUGH WARSAW Activity Overview
Warsaw Sweet Walking Tour is a tour through the city’s confectioneries, cafés and sweet treats that have been part of Warsaw’s identity for years. The guide takes the group on a journey through the capital’s sweet history, from old favourites to places that are still open today. It’s the perfect walk for anyone who enjoys great coffee, cake and stories with a delicious twist.
Character of the tour: it is a fact-based walk, presented in a light, anecdotal form — no lecture or dates to memorise, with an emphasis on stories about people and places.
During the walk, the guide will tell you about sweets and delicacies from the past and present. They will show you the places where legendary cafés and confectioneries once stood, such as Ziemiańska, Lourse and Saska, as well as newer, currently operating establishments. They will also talk about the people who, over the centuries, made their mark on Warsaw’s sweet chronicles.
Example route: Castle Square, Senatorska Street, Theatre Square, Piłsudski Square, Mazowiecka Street, Szpitalna Street.
In addition to the guide, the group will be accompanied by a coordinator. She will collect you from your office or another chosen location and take you to the meeting point with the tour guide. It is also possible for all participants to meet directly at the starting point of the tour.
Live music - 1299 zł per group: this walk, such as Warsaw Na Słodko, can be enhanced with the company of a street musician with a guitar or banjo, who plays, sings and adds commentary throughout the entire route, performing classics of old Warsaw courtyard music in the style of pre-war street hits. This option naturally extends the walk by approximately 30 minutes.
The walk can be conducted in English for an additional fee.
