Retro Bus Tour Dark Side of Warsaw

This vintage bus tour takes you beyond Warsaw's main tourist trail into the atmospheric Praga district, where industrial heritage meets modern street art. You'll ride in a classic retro bus with a local guide-driver who shares stories about one of the city's most authentic neighbourhoods. The 2.5-hour experience covers the Wedel Chocolate Factory, Warsaw Vodka Factory "Koneser" and striking street murals that have transformed this former working-class area into an artistic hub.
