Its imposing architecture, with towers reaching for the sky, creates a picturesque contrast with the colorful townhouses and narrow streets around it, which bear witness to Warsaw’s rich past. From this vantage point, the Royal Castle together with the Old Town weave a coherent, vivid story of courage, destruction, and the triumph of reconstruction.

Best Warsaw Experience - Unbelievable experience and hands down our favourite activity in Warsaw. We were running late for the start but the team were super helpful in allowing us the extra time as they didn’t have any booking after us. The skipper was brilliant. We timed it just right for the sunset which added to our own tunes and enjoying our own drinks made such a memorable and cost effective experience. Would 100% recommend and we will book without question on our next trip to Warsaw
