Description
Most tourists go to the observation deck of the Palace of Culture and say that they have been to this building. But thanks to us, you will discover that this skyscraper is much more than the view from the 30th floor.
During this hour-long guided tour, you'll enter the conference rooms and ballrooms, closed to the general public. These are the Palace of Culture's most prestigious spaces. You'll see rooms, chandeliers and marbles which remember the highest communist politicians of Poland and the world.
Thanks to the engaging stories of a certified Warsaw guide, you'll discover the history and secrets of the most important building of Warsaw.
You'll learn who paid for this building and why it's more American than Soviet. You'll see pre-war plans of Warsaw, which (already) feature the Palace of Culture, learn the history of the bricked-up builders, and discover what it means to be 'Socialist in content and national in form.'
At the end of the tour, you'll take the elevator to the observation deck (skip the line) and enjoy the panoramic view of the city at your own pace while eating a traditional sweet communist snack.
This tour is for those interested in history, architecture, or interior design, as well as for those who want to understand Warsaw instead of just seeing it.
