Tour Program
Day 1: Torun
Your private driver and tour director will pick you up from your hotel in the Berlin area at 7 a.m. During a comfortable drive to Poland you will enjoy free snacks and beverages on board. Around noon you will reach the charming medieval city of Torun. Explore the Old Town of Torun guarded by the remains of the medieval crusader castle. See The Cathedral Church and walk around Old Market Square with its eye-catching Square Tower, one of Central Europe's most intriguing specimens of Gothic architecture. The most famous citizen of Torun, astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, is commemorated here with a monument and a museum in the house of his birth in 1473. In The Living Museum of Gingerbread, you will have the opportunity to taste and learn about the making of the city's most popular treat. Continue to Warsaw for a hotel check-in and a dinner à la carte in a polish restaurant. Overnight in Warsaw.
Day 2: Warsaw
After breakfast in the hotel, you will start exploring the city with its recent attraction, The Museum of the History of Polish Jews. It is the first and only museum devoted to preserving the memory of the culture that Polish Jews built over a millennium and is located in the former Warsaw Ghetto site. The modern and interactive exhibitions will make your journey through history unforgettable. Next step you will take walk to the UNESCO-listed Old Town. Admire the colorful facades and walk around the city walls. See the Royal Castle, Market Square, Monument of Warsaw Mermaid and Warsaw Uprising Memorial Site. Continue the Royal Route to The Royal Baths Park with the summer residence of the last king of Poland – Stanisław August Poniatowski. In the evening you will drive to Praga district, home to Warsaw artists with lots of independent galleries, alternative bars, music venues, and elaborate murals on 19th-century buildings. Here you will have dinner in a traditional polish bar with historic Warsaw street food. After dinner, you will be back in your hotel the second overnight in Warsaw.
Day 3: Poznan
On the third day of the tour, after breakfast, you will start the return journey with a stop in Poznan around noon for a sightseeing tour. Poznan, Poland's former capital, due to its strategic location between Berlin and Warsaw has significantly contributed to its centuries-long importance as a major trading city in Poland. It is known for many colorful Renaissance-style buildings of the Old Town. Above the historic Market Square raises a Town Hall Clock where every day at noon two billy goats appear, bumping their horns. After a sweet break for a local specialty - St. Martin’s Crossaint, continue your walk to Ostrow Tumski, a Cathedral Island to see The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul which were built in Gothic and Baroque styles. It is the oldest part of the city – an atmospheric, calmer and more contemplative – perfect for the last stop of the tour. Continue the drive back to Germany to arrive in the Berlin area around 7 p.m. where your private tour ends.
