Starting in Wolności Square (Liberty Square), this tour will lead you around the historic part of the city. I’ll show you beautiful renaissance and baroque buildings from the 1800s and 1900s. While you soak up the architectural marvels, I’ll point out a few tell-tale signs of the clash between the Germans and the Polish their facade.
