Warsaw is its people. The city was and is full of diverse life stories — from ordinary, grey people who did not stand out, through those who led a debauched lifestyle, to saints living in asceticism. All their fates and paths often intertwined; they could pass each other on Warsaw’s streets. Do you want to get to know them? I invite you to a walk!
