Walk through the Old Powązki Cemetery
About the event
When human memory fades...
I invite you to a sentimental walk through one of Warsaw's oldest necropolises — the Old Powązki Cemetery. A magical place full of historic tombstones and the resting place of Poland's most distinguished figures. During the walk we will recall the people who shaped the city's history.
We meet on Saturday, March 14, 2026 at 11:00 in front of the 2nd gate — St. Honorata, Powązkowska 1. The walk is planned to last about 90 minutes.

No fee is required to join the walk, however if you consider that the guide deserves a tip, you may give one.
The walk will be led by a city guide from Warszawski Zaułek. Warmly invited and see you there.
