In the past, the information that we lived on Ujazdowskie Avenue indicated that we were the cherry on the cake of society.
The villas and palaces built on Ujazdowskie Avenue and in the vicinity of the Royal Route in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century established Ujazdowskie Avenue's reputation as the most exquisite street in Warsaw, and the area as an elegant district. Initially built mainly for the bourgeoisie, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, they became urban residences for the aristocracy.
During the interwar period, Ujazdowskie Avenue was one of the favorite places for walks among Varsovians.
Today, passersby and drivers, busy with their own affairs, rarely have time to take a look at the buildings and palaces they pass by and remember their former residents.
Therefore, we invite you to a leisurely Sunday walk along Ujazdowskie Avenue and a calm exploration of the area. We will walk from the Three Crosses Square to the Plac Na Rozdrożu.
