Relax on a 1-hour Vistula River cruise from Warsaw’s Old Town side. Pass bridges and contrasts of the banks, with QR audio.

“The dock was further than expected so we arrived 5 minutes late; as did another family. The boat came back to dock and we were able the board. I assumed that a tour guide would provide information and stories along the route. Instead a QR code was posted on board and a short audio tour highlighted points along the river.”
