About
Hurtige fakta: Walking through darkened halls, you hear original radio broadcasts, gunfire and street sounds layered with poignant film footage, making the 1944 uprising heartbreakingly immediate. Hundreds of original artifacts and personal testimonies are arranged in immersive, interactive rooms, so visitors leave with a visceral sense of ordinary people’s courage.
Højdepunkter: Creep through a narrow, brick-walled replica of the 1944 sewer tunnels and feel the ceiling close in while recorded drip echoes and distant footsteps make the passage eerily alive. Before you leave press a numbered red button to play a survivor named Zofia's 12-minute eyewitness recording, her voice rough with flour and smoke so vivid you can almost taste the burned bread she describes.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the route is long and mostly on concrete floors.
- Buy a timed-entry ticket online to skip the line, especially on weekends and holidays.
- Pick up the English audio guide at the entrance for clearer context at key displays.
- Avoid the midday rush by going at opening or late afternoon on weekdays, and allow extra time for the film and reconstructed street scenes.
