We will pick you up from the hotel in our original socialist-style van of historical value, i.e. a Nysa 522. We will take you for a unique trip through the legacy of the Polish socialism. Not only will we see the places connected with it, but we will experience them as well.


We will start with the first square ever to be built especially for the working people, i.e. Constitution Square (Plac Konstytucji).

We will start with the first square ever to be built especially for the working people, i.e. Constitution Square (Plac Konstytucji). Here you will feel how the propaganda worked in the socialist era. Next we will go towards the seat of the Ministry of Agriculture, where you will have a chance to get to know the utopian plans of the post-war city reconstruction. Our next stop will be the Palace of Culture and Science – a gift from “Uncle” Stalin will reveal its secrets to you.


We will not miss the very heart of socialism, i.e. the old seat of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party (in Polish: “Dom Partii” – “The Party's House”). Next stop is in Praga district, where we see the typical housing estate with the longest building in Warsaw.


At the end we will visit the Museum of Life under Communism. Here you will experience a small apartment furnished in socialist style, a communist party member’s office, a shop, a bar and a street from the era. You will see how people used to live and watch propaganda movies of the 1950s. We also kindly invite you for a typical aperitif. In the end of the tour we drop off guests back at the hotel.
