Cmentarz Powązkowski is one of the oldest operating cemeteries in Warsaw. A place where, stopping by the graves of city presidents, artists, industrialists, or social activists, we can encounter not only the history of Warsaw but of all Poland. During the walk, we will step back into past events and visit the resting places of people often forgotten today. We will also pass by the graves of individuals recently seen on TV screens or the front pages of newspapers: Czesław Niemen, Gustaw Holoubek, Andrzej Kopiczyński, Jerzy Waldorff, Violetta Villas, Danuta Rinn, Zdzisław Maklakiewicz, as well as those still alive through their works: Władysław Reymont, Stanisław Moniuszko, Krzysztof Kieślowski, and many others. 🎟️ Tickets for this walk can be purchased at the link: https://app.evenea.pl/event/powazki14092025/ ➡️ Do you know the name of the man so determined to pursue an acting career that he abandoned his legal practice to walk from Lviv to Warsaw?
