The package is aimed at active people who would like to see Warsaw from a slightly different perspective, and that means the perspective of… a bike.

„On a bicycle trail” is a journey both through less commercial corners of Warsaw and the best-known ones.

The trail consists of cycle tracks and runs through parks, overlooks and other interesting places (from those "must see" as the streets of the Royal Route to those less touristy but very liked by local ones like a beach on the Vistula River in the Praga distict).

You can see much more on a bike than on foot.
