15 Best Warsaw Activities & Escape Rooms 2021

Quick and fun way to tour the center of Warsaw

I knew I could ride a bike, theoretically, but never actually used it to ride in a city.
What I noticed about Warsaw after spending a couple of days here is that it is a very friendly city for cyclists, safe and adapted for riding. This is why I decided to give it a try and had a very interesting tour across the historical part of the city.
The 3-hour tour will take you to the main landmarks and streets, through parks that have their own stories, to a place with popular cafes and to the bank of Wisła with a wonderful view. The pace of riding was quite easy for me as a beginner. The only hard part was to ride up the hill at the end of the tour, so I rode half the hill and went up by foot the other half. This tour was the highlight of my week in Warsaw, and I'm very glad I found it on this website.

Wow! Warsaw City Bike Tour

Very fun, very interesting

A great way to explore the city. Would like to thank our tour guide Marcin, who was very informative and interesting and also made us both feel comfortable driving the car. The car is very easy and fun to drive. The tour teaches you about polish history and shows you historic monuments all over the city. Would definitely recommend, me and my girlfriend had lots of fun.

Warsaw Self-Drive Communism Tour in a Retro Fiat

Great way to explore the city!

We enjoyed this tour a lot. Driving around Warsaw in the old cars was a fun experiences. As we had already walked around the city center the previous day we chose the Communism Tour to see some other parts of Warsaw. Konrad our guide was both informative and entertaining. Definitely recommendable!

Really good fun. Reccomend!!

Really good value for money. Considering it gets you two drinks in the first bar and then a shot at every bar afterwards. Also a really great way to discover the nightlife the city has to offer. Went with my girlfriend and we met loads of great people and had a good time.

I was only in Warsaw for a couple of days on a conference so had limited time to 'see the sights'. The 'Warsaw by Night' cycle tour enabled us to see ~15kms of the city including so many places that we would never have found or come across otherwise. Our local tour guide was fab - his English was fluent and he was very friendly and welcoming. He gave us just about the right amount of information about Warsaw city life, culture and history --- all really really interesting (not at all boring to a non historian like myself). Highlights included cycling round the big parks, seeing the illuminated fountains and gas lanterns, cycling along the lit up royal route and seeing the beautiful view over the city from one of the bridges (we had a gorgeous sunset too which helped!) - we also saw the lit up football stadium. We stopped plenty of times (so good for photo opportunities) and (unlike other city cycle tours I’ve been on where distances could have been walked) this tour actually felt like a proper bike ride round a city with so much to see en route. Bikes were comfortable and in good condition – although it took a little while for me to get used to the back pedal braking! Overall, I would definitely definitely recommend this cycle tour to anyone visiting Warsaw who can / wants to ride a bike. I just wish I had had more time to do other cycle tours in different areas --- will definitely do if I return to Warsaw.

Amazing Tour

We took a 3 hour self drive tour with Konrad. My partner wasn't too keen on the idea of a tour around Warsaw with me driving but by the end of it we were saying it was the best part of the holiday. The car is hilarious and you don't need to worry too much about driving around the busy roads as it seemed like Konrad did his best to keep us away from the worst roads. We were asked which kind of tour we wanted as there was an option of a few, we said we wanted a mix and that's exactly what we got. You get photos taken as you go around and these are brilliant, we love our photos with the little car. If/when we return to Warsaw I could definitely see us doing this tour again but seeing different sites as it really was that fun (and we aren't your average tour goers). The tour was excellent, the car was hilarious and Konrad had excellent knowledge.

Vista on the Vistula

Fantastic and very personal tour along the Vistula in Warsaw.
Benefiting from beautiful weather, we were joined by 2 others for a fascinating insight into a part of Warsaw you are u likely to see otherwise. The Wild River our takes you almost to the outskirts of the city for amazing views before bringing you back in to the centre. Both the WOW Warsaw and the river tour are highly recommended.

I particularly enjoyed the Vistula tour however, as there was the perfect balance between cycling and talking.

The 'city bikes' have a slightly odd breaking system, but you quickly adapt to it and the bikes are comfortable.

Perfect tour

We did a tour in a small Fiat that brings back memories to a lot of polish people. The nice thing of the tour is that you are allowed to drive yourself. Our guide Marcin sat in the back and gave directions. He guided us to nice places around the city where we stopped and took a walk. Nice touch was to see some orginal architecture from the jewish getto. Marcin was an enthousiastic guide that worked really hard to make us feel comfortable and provide us information about warsaw's history. Nice extra service was that he took pictures of us which he later sended by email. These make a nice memory to a PERFECT experience!

I was in Warsaw on my own for a few nights so I decided to go on a pub crawl. The meeting point is close to the metro and we stood there a little beyond the scheduled meeting time to wait for the stragglers. After that, drinks! Two drinks are included at the first bar and then shots at the remainder. I didn't make it the whole night, but it was a great way to meet new people and see the local nightlife. There were some really cool "beach" bars along the river that I enjoyed. The guides were very friendly and help strike up conversations between the pub crawlers. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend this class, as it was a nice experience helping me to get to know Warsaw better. Michal is very knowledgable about Polish food and traditions, and he runs a well-organized class that is still very relaxed and fun. A lot of food, alcohol and almost touchable polish hospitality!

This is a truly awesome way to spend quality time with friends or family you may be traveling with, or even to meet new people if traveling alone. It ingrained in my memory for a long, long time! My mum from India will be proud when I show her what I can!

The bike tour of Jewish Warsaw was one of the highlights of our trip! The guide was very knowledgeable, knew a lot and found a very good way of telling us. The bikes were good for biking the city, and it was good to have a guide to show us the best bikeable paths and ways through the city. Also, the guide took up our wishes and adapted the tour to our interest. Thanks a lot for this great tour. I highly recommend it to anybody that knows how to ride a bike and travels to Warsaw, whether for the first time or as a repeat visitor.

Our tour guide Gavel gave us an in-depth historical tour of Jewish Warsaw. This was extremely important to my understanding of Warsaw's very recent history. What once was a huge part of culture in Warsaw, the Jewish community, is now very small, and this happened so recently. This tour is crucial to realize what has been nearly eliminated from a city, which may go unnoticed without the tour. Highly recommend it. And Gavel is an extremely nice and intelligent person. Thanks!

I was in Warsaw for a work trip and had a free Sunday. You can definitely see a lot more on a bike than you can walking. The biking itself was rather easy and laid back. We made many stops along the way, including some Chopin sights, old town, a library, the east side beach, and the stadium. There is one longer break mid-point for refreshments and to walk around the garden/library. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is comfortable on a bike.

Most enjoyable activity

We thoroughly enjoyed the class with Julia. While we have a way to go to master some of the ways to fold a pierogi, we learned lots and will certainly try cooking them when we get back to Australia. We'll also be cooking the apple pikelets.
The class was the right size with a good mix of people.
We recommend you take the opportunity to do the vodka sampling with your cooking. It's a great way to sample and learn about the flavours.
