Tourist Card

While Krakow claims to be Poland's 'cultural capital', Warsaw holds its own in the culture department, with an arsenal of fascinating museums, theatres, cinemas, and other cultural attractions to keep even the most demanding culture vulture entertained.

Nonetheless, the city is a modern metropolis, and just getting around Warsaw, and from museum to museum, can be difficult and often time-consuming, especially if you're unfortunate enough to encounter Warsaw's traffic while driving. Luckily, the Warsaw Tourist Card offers a public transportation ticket for the duration of the card's validity, so you can zoom from attraction to attraction on Warsaw's trams or underground. Of course, the real value behind the card is the free or discounted admission you get to museums, as well as discounts to various art galleries, accommodations and restaurants, physical recreation facilities, sightseeing tours, shops and car rentals. At the moment, 124 businesses and cultural institutions participate in the Warsaw Tourist Card program, with more joining constantly.

"Great, how much does it cost and where do I get such a handy card?" I hear you saying. The cost is 35 PLN for 24 hours, and 65 PLN for three days. A full list of participating locations is available when you purchase the card.
