Last year, during the summer, I started guiding Friends, mainly from the Choir, around Warsaw. These walks turned out quite elegantly, so this year I decided to raise the bar! I am proud to invite you to this year's Saturday Walks! We will explore Warsaw, learn about its architecture, urban planning, and history! Warsaw is an exceptionally wonderful city - there is so much to see! However, we usually pass by streets and houses indifferently in our daily rush. Sometimes, all it takes is for someone else to help us take a closer look, and we can discover the art, beauty, and concepts hidden behind the everyday! I hope I can pique your interest so that you can discover it for yourself every day! 📅 The walks will take place every Saturday during the summer, starting at 4:00 PM!
