WarsawFirst-time route
In 1939 museum staff and conservators carried paintings and pieces of interiors out of the burning Royal Castle. Five years later German forces blew up what was left, and rebuilding began only in 1971 — around those same rescued objects. Warsaw's Old Town is on the UNESCO list as a reconstruction, not as surviving medieval fabric. This is a walk about how a city decided which parts of its past to bring back, and it ends at a monument where some of the figures are climbing down into the sewers.

THE WALK
This is not a list of landmarks. The stops follow one from another rather than one after another, and the walk says the connection out loud instead of leaving you to infer it.
PRACTICAL
STOP BY STOP
The stops are in walking order. Only the names are here: the story opens at the place itself, because half of what it means is standing in front of you.
Look at the façade and imagine it gone. For almost three decades after the war, the Castle did not exist in this form.
Choose the façade that looks oldest to you, then remember that “looks old” and “survived untouched” are not the same thing here.
Walk through the narrow passage and notice how quickly the walls control where your body can move.
Turn back toward the Barbican, then forward across the square. Notice how one short walk changes the size and rhythm of the city.
Compare the two sculptural groups: one rushes into combat, the other disappears underground.
