About

Hello wonderful surfers and all the good people! Try to imagine Warsaw, 'Paris of the north' in 1945. Destroyed city abandoned by people after the Second World War and its atrocities. Then a new chapter began with Communist Party coming to power. The whole capital city, including its most damaged parts like the Old Town and the city center, was rebuilt in a new socrealistic way. This tour will explore the most significant communist architectural projects in 50's Warsaw. The Stamp of Stalin, Central Committee, Censorship Office, Constitution Square will uncover their dark, astonishing, funny secrets specially for you. The tour will start in front of Novotel hotel, Marszałkowska 98 street, near Centrum m1 subway station, exactly at the place shown below: https://www.google.pl/maps/place/Novotel+Warszawa+Centrum/@52.2292879,21.0123275,3a,75y,77.29h,109.86t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sH36MQh-B35DwWwjH4rr_Xw!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo1.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DH36MQh-B35DwWwjH4rr_Xw%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D94.369%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x471eccf246f68fd9:0x90cbe31876b6add7!2sMarsza%C5%82kowska,+Warszawa!3b1!8m2!3d52.228361!4d21.0124691!3m4!1s0x0:0x273932695a350cbc!8m2!3d52.229439!4d21.0126883!6m1!1e1 How to contact your tour guide: https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2001905375 or https://www.facebook.com/franekimono or +48795121427 After the tour we can go to a cafe nearby to discuss some further details and relax together :) Please keep in my mind that the tour is free, but if you're satisfied, then leave a tip after the tour to reward your guide.
