Warsaw Uprising Tour

The Warsaw Uprising is one of the most tragic events in the history of Warsaw. Approximately 80 per cent of the city was destroyed by German troops during the Uprising and in the months that followed. The Uprising in August and September 1944 went down in history as Varsovians’ heroic attempt at fighting for their city.
