Warsaw Weekend: Old Town, Wilanów Palace and vodka tasting

Transfers to and from Warsaw aren't included in the package, so you can decide where to start from, at what time, and with the transport you prefer based on your departure point (plane, train, bus, car). This is to give you maximum freedom of choice. Don't hesitate to contact your assigned group leader for more travel info or tips! Check-in at your hotel in Warsaw at 5 PM.

Our adventure kicks off by diving into the history and culture of this fascinating Polish city, and the first stop is, naturally, the dinner table.

• To get into the local vibe straight away we head for dinner at a traditional karczma, a Polish tavern, before anyone has properly unpacked a bag.
• On the table the iconic pierogi, symbol of Polish cuisine, paired with a glass of Żubrówka, the famous bison grass-infused vodka, and the weekend's first toast.

After last night's warm-up, Warsaw gets a full day: one palace, one old town, a lot of pavement. Comfortable shoes!

• The day opens at Wilanów Palace, one of Warsaw's Baroque gems, between stunning gardens and lavish halls, then lunch at a spot we'll choose together.
• A guided walking tour follows through the historic Old Town: clock tower, Royal Castle, Market Square, St. John's Cathedral, and the legends that bring the city to life.

• Warsaw's more "spirited" side: who invented vodka, how it's made, how Poles toast. In Poland it even has its own museum, and the history comes with plenty of tastings.
• Then the most authentic local spots, between toasts and laughs: traditional vodkas and artisanal gems, Żubrówka with a pickled cucumber, Wyborowa, every Pole's pride. A social tradition, not just a drink.
