Warsaw: Chopin Concert in the Old Town

1.Chopin Concert in the Old Town

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,287 reviews · 1 hour · from $26Our pick

Spend one hour in a historic townhouse behind St. John’s Cathedral, hearing Chopin performed by pianists such as Katarzyna Glensk and Joanna. The small salon setting, restored Pleyel piano, unnumbered seating, and choice of Polish mead or apple juice make this a personal, easy-to-fit Warsaw evening activity.

“The venue held 50 people and was acoustic. No one was more than 30 feet from the pianist and her piano. The pianist I saw was amazing. The small glass of honey mead or apple juice at intermission was a nice touch. I am not a classical music expert, being more of a classical rock fan, but I could not have been happier with the entire event.”
