Walking Warsaw

A small local company with licensed guides. Join a public walk with others, in English or German, or book a guide for your own party and the route you choose.

• Warsaw Old Town: the public walk through the rebuilt Old and New Towns. See the Old Town walk
• Jewish Warsaw and the Ghetto: the public walk through the history of the Jewish city. See the Jewish Warsaw walk
• Private walking tours: a guide for your party alone, on the route you want. See private tours

Warsaw Luke

Łukasz is a certified Warsaw guide who gives private tours: the Old Town and the Royal Route, the Ghetto, and the corners most visitors miss. A good choice when you would rather have the guide to yourselves.

Krypa: Vistula galleys

A foundation that has worked the river for more than ten years runs these cruises on traditional wooden galleys, from the boulevards in the centre. An hour on the water shows the city from the side most visitors never see.

Rejsowisko

Boats on the Vistula from the boulevards: take one with a skipper, or drive a small motorboat yourself, no licence needed. An easy hour or two for a group of friends.

• Skippered tours: sit back while someone else takes the helm. See skippered tours
• Boat rental: a small motorboat of your own for the afternoon. See boat rental

Spa For You

Day spas inside five Warsaw hotels. The Old Town door is at the Bellotto on Senatorska; the others are at the InterContinental, the Hilton, the Regent and the Renaissance by the airport. Massage, face and body treatments, and treatments for two.

Oasis Massage & Spa

Oriental massage in the centre, beside Raffles Europejski and the Bristol. Thai, Balinese, classic and Indian massage, and longer rituals; you can book a time online.

Poland Transfers

A Warsaw chauffeur company with Mercedes cars and vans: Chopin and Modlin airport transfers, a driver by the hour for a day in the city, and longer journeys across Poland.
