Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw

Our adventure will kick off at the main entrance of the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw. After a short introduction to Warsaw's transformation after World War II and the historical impact of the building, we'll cross its doors into its majestic hall.

In its halls, we'll share the symbolism, political controversies, and secrets of its titanic construction, in which more than 3500 Soviet workers were employed. We'll explore the accessible areas to discover the culture this immense maze of over 3200 rooms holds, looking at its imposing socialist realism architecture and hidden details that most people tend to overlook.

But the most important moment of the experience will arrive when we touch the capital's sky. We'll take the elevator directly to the 30th floor, standing at 374 ft (114 m) high. From the heights, we'll enjoy the spectacular panoramic views of Warsaw's skyline, seeing its most important monuments and the Vistula River from a bird's-eye view.

To say our goodbyes in the best way, we'll start a round of Q&As and share some of the best local advice and recommendations so you can continue exploring the capital to the fullest.

1 hour later, we'll conclude the guided tour of the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.
