Warsaw: POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews Ticket - Your 1-day ticket and the smart timing plan

1.POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,142 reviews · 1 day · from $12Our pick

POLIN Museum in Warsaw charts 1,000 years of Jewish life with interactive galleries, an audio guide, and Holocaust context.

“POLIN Museum is a first class interactive experience. It is clearly apparent they spent a great deal of thought on how to present the total history of Jewish people in Poland and their contribution to this vibrant country. And also apparent that they didn’t want to just focus on the loss of the Jewish people during the Holocaust - rather balance the sadness of their loss with their historical importance to Poland.”

“Jacob was an amazing tour guide who not only answered all of my unorthodox questions but also went above and beyond by being flexible and adapting our tour to our specific interests! We also especially appreciated how he was willing to share with us his real thoughts about the historical decisions and the impact they still have today on the Warsaw citizens. Many tour guides try to maintain a status quo attitude and for a specialized tour like this, it is crucial that the guides themselves also have an opinion to share in order to facilitate meaningful discussion. We hope we didn't tire him out too much but seriously give…”

“Enjoyed the early morning tour with Martin as our guide visiting Warsaw Old Town, ruins of Jewish Ghetto and the East Bank of the river Vistula for a brief touch of authentic historical buildings that survived a terrific war destruction. We opted for the Praga District over Park Łazienki as we had less than three hours for our tour. Our guide, Martin, gave an informative talk in perfect English at each stop. He used laminated photos to show how some of the sites used to look like before the war. A hidden yard with a Jewish shrine in Praga was a gem - I'd never found it on my own.…”
