The oldest profession in the world exists in all cultures, and its roots go back to ancient times. Brothels in Warsaw have existed for centuries and could be found in the immediate vicinity of churches, schools, or monasteries. I invite you to a walk dedicated to the theme of the world's oldest profession, during which we will learn: - What were fish bladders? - Who supervised the brothels? - How were venereal diseases treated in the past? - Where was the castellan's establishment located? - Who in a red wig visited brothels? - Who taxed prostitutes in 18th-century Warsaw? - How were women of easy virtue punished in the past? - What were women of easy virtue called in the past? - Why were panties considered a cursed element of clothing? - Where did gentlemen who preferred gentlemen relieve themselves? - Where did the red light in brothels come from? - How did people protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy before the war? - Who rode through Warsaw naked on horseback in broad daylight? - Who ran the most decent brothel and donated to the church? - Which street is said to have been the center of Warsaw's erotic tourism? - What perfumes did prostitutes usually choose as erotic bait? ...and many more. ✨ We meet on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 7:00 PM at Teatralny Square, at the intersection with Wierzbowa Street, under the monument of Wojciech Bogusławski. The walk is planned for about 1.5 hours. 💸 There is no fee for participating in the walk, but if you feel the guide deserves a tip (voluntary). The walk will be led by a city guide from Warszawski Zaułek. You are warmly invited and see you there.
