Description
Experience Warsaw not just as a city of monuments, but as a place of profound spiritual resilience. This 3-hour guided walk takes you through the heart of the capital to follow the footsteps of five remarkable figures who defined Polish faith and patriotism. We begin at the Church of St. Anne, one of Warsaw’s most beautiful landmarks. From there, we journey through the cobblestone streets of the Old and New Town, uncovering the 'unceasing mission' of St. Clement Hofbauer and the heroic life of Bl. Anicet Kopliński, known as the 'Almoner of Warsaw.' One of the most moving stops is the Archcathedral of St. John, where you will see the sarcophagus of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, a giant of Polish history. You will also discover the Capuchin Monastery on Miodowa Street, an architectural gem founded by King Jan III Sobieski. Here, history meets the present day: you will see the active soup kitchen that continues a centuries-old tradition of helping the poor. This tour is a unique blend of art, history, and deep humanity, perfect for those who want to understand the 'indomitable spirit' of Warsaw.Includes
