    About the event

    A cult tour in the "Ogórek" bus through times that were both funny, absurd, and... very Polish. PRL – three letters, but so much meaning. For some, it's an era of Soviet oppression, empty shelves, and greyness. For others – a time of youth, shared holidays by the lake, milk bars, and family memories. One thing is certain – you can't forget it. We invite you on an extraordinary journey through PRL-era Warsaw – with a guide, humor, and a huge dose of nostalgia. Program: - a ride in the historic Jelcz "Ogórek" bus through the streets of the capital, - stories about the reconstruction of Warsaw after the war and the urban visions of the communists, - searching for traces of the PRL: murals, pubs, architecture, and forgotten places, - curiosities about famous PRL figures and their colorful biographies, - a visit to our original PRL museum – full of artifacts from the era, which looks like our grandparents' apartment! - a sweet surprise at the Wedel Museum! 📍 Start: pl. Defilad, by the Palace of Culture and Science from Emilii Plater street (at the Warsaw Tourist Information) ⏰ Please arrive 15 minutes before the tour starts. 🎟️ Tickets: https://www.wpt1313.com/Widzisz-synku-tak-wyglada
