Dark Side of Warsaw: Retro Bus Tour
Overview of the tour in Warsaw
Take this unique bus tour to the “dark side” of Warsaw – the infamous Praga district. Find out why the district was considered the most dangerous part of Warsaw. See a place where you could buy almost anything, from jeans and diplomas to Kalashnikov’s rifle, and check yourself if the marketplace is still open. On board of a retro Jelcz “Cucumber” bus will be a guide to help you navigate the district and who will comment on the objects you pass. The tour features a walk around several sites, including Soho Factory now a creative center of Warsaw., a chocolate factory where you can even taste a cup of their delicious hot chocolate (included with your tour). Views of the Brzeska and Stalowa street murals. Pass by the former vodka factory "Koneser" and a former black market "Różycki's Bazaar" where you could buy a set of forged documents, foreign currency, or a tank in parts. See the most interesting sacred buildings such as the Holy Heart Basilica and the Russian Orthodox Church. The neighborhood still has the atmosphere of old Warsaw and is loved by film directors, like Roman Polański who made here “The Pianist,” and many more.
