What to expect

Discover the early life of Marie Skłodowska-Curie on a private walking tour through the streets where she grew up. This experience traces her journey from childhood in Russian-occupied Warsaw to the inception of her scientific career that would later change the world.

Walk through the Old Town and New Town to see places connected with her youth. These include the house on Freta Street where she was born, the churches where she was baptized and received her First Communion, and the Vistula escarpment, a favourite spot for her walks.

Gain insights into what daily life was like in 19th-century Warsaw, a time when women's education was limited and Polish culture was stifled. Explore locations linked to Marie's early scientific interests, such as the Central Agricultural Library, where she secretly conducted her initial experiments.

Along the way, you'll hear stories about her family, her pact with her sister, and the challenges she faced before setting off for Paris. This tour offers an intimate glimpse into the life of the woman behind two Nobel Prizes, unveiling the places and experiences that shaped her long before she achieved global recognition.
