Product Info

Of all the things you think you know about communism, there’s one thing you can never wrap your mind around: its absurdity.

On the outside it was a Cold War and the hammer and sickle, but to the average citizen it was just one ridiculous thing after another that made life difficult.

Learn how the Poles managed to survive nearly 40 years of communist oppression with ingenuity, smarts, and a tractor full of humor.

Join this walking tour to hear about:
- the most controversial building in the entire city (and for more than one reason!)
- the smallest icon of communism that’s so cute you’ll want one of your own
- how people were able to buy things at completely empty stores
- why “what can I get you?” was one of the biggest jokes at the time
- how the state made sure Poles didn’t travel too far
- socialist realism and why you’ll probably think it looks nice, but Poles won’t agree

Don't just visit Warsaw, discover it!

Tour duration: approx. 2,5h
Distance: approx. 3 km
