Important Information

  • Please check your email the day before the tour for important details from Rosotravel, your tour operator. The itinerary depends on the selected option. A guided tour of the National Museum is not included in the 2-hour option. Skip-the-line tickets let you bypass the ticket office, but due to high visitor numbers, you may have to queue shortly for security checks and entry. If you select the option with independent sightseeing at the National Museum, we recommend renting an audio guide at the entrance (paid on the spot). Languages: Polish, English, German, Russian, French. Visit time is about 2 hours. This is a moderate walking tour with some uneven surfaces or steps. The guide will adjust the pace to the group. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather—the tour runs rain or shine! Private groups are kept small (1–25 guests per guide) for a personalized experience. Larger groups may book extra guides.
