The Conference Excursion on Wednesday programme

Enjoy this great opportunity to get acquainted with the history of Poland's capital. Stroll through the Old Town, intricately reconstructed after World War II. The Old Town is an excellent example of a compromise between historic values and modern needs - art, galleries, craftsmen's workshops. One will have the possibility to hear about the Sigismund’s Column, the Royal Castle (exteriors), the Market Square and the Barbican. Then walk to the Monument of the Warsaw Uprising.

The next places not to be missed while visiting Warsaw: The Monument to the Heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, located on the square, which was once a site of the main bunker of the Jewish Combat Organisation, The Umschlag-platz on Stawki Street from where Germans deported 300 000 Jews to Treblinka during the summer 1942.

At the end get pleasure out of driving along the Royal Route with its beautiful palaces, aristocratic residences, famous statues and historic churches. See the historic sights of Warsaw - the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Chopin's Monument and the Belvedere Palace. Relax during the stroll through the most picturesque park in Warsaw: The Royal £azienki.
