Museums in Warsaw
Recommended by your tour guide in Warsaw
Places to visit in Warsaw. Here is my suggestion for the top 12-places to see while visiting Warsaw.
Book directly without problems and don’t overpay to agencies. Click on the headline or the picture and continue directly to their own internet pages, where you can book directly.
In most museums you won’t get much out of walking around with a guide. You are much better off with just reading the descriptions or using an audio guide.
Many of my trips are introductions to the museums, so you understand what you see, when you enter the site.
