Walking Tours
The Warsaw Tourist Office has brochures and maps detailing the major tourist areas, useful for a self-guided tour. There are also helpful tourist-locator maps mounted at major intersections and in tourist areas.

Bus Tours
Cityrama bus tours cost Z90. Mazurkas Travel (tel: (022) 635 6633; e-mail: euromic@mazurkas.pol.pl) and Polish Travel Quo Vadis (tel: (022) 652 1456, ext. 60; e-mail: ptqv@polishtravel.com.pl; website: www.polishtravel.com.pl) offers half-day tours of the Old Town and Royal Route, with stops at Wilanow Palace or the Royal Castle. The cost is about Z100. In summer, the tourist tram line runs along a fixed circular route from Starynkiewicza Square on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Tickets can be purchased from the conductor for Z2 (tel: (022) 827 3747). The recently instigated bus route 180 offers a cheap and pleasant sightseeing tour. Operating between Powazki Cemetary and Wilanow, the bus passes all the main monuments in Warsaw. The cost is the same as for a city transport ticket (see Public Transport in the Getting Around section).

Horse-drawn Tours
Visitors can take a trip around the Old Town in a horse-drawn hackney cab. The cost should be negotiated with the driver, but will generally run to about Z50-80 for a one-hour ride.
