Following Chopin in Warsaw

Itinerary:     Fryderyk Chopin was one of the greatest composers  and the piano virtuoso in the history of music. He was living in Warsaw half of his life, before he exiled due to difficult political situation in Poland. He died in Paris in 1849, but it is Warsaw where his heart found the final resting place (in the Church of the Holy Cross).  During the tour we visit places that witnessed genius of Chopin. All of them are located in the historical centre of Warsaw. We see eg. one of the oldest and most beautiful parks of Warsaw – Saxon Garden, when Chopin used to play as a child, palaces where he lived with his family (Czapski Palace, Saxon Palace) or the venues where he performed his first concerts. We also visit the Museum of Chopin housed in a beautiful Baroque Ostrogski Castle – it is one of the most modern biographical museums in Europe, where the real world meets with the virtual one. A visit to this place is un unforgettable experience!
