Pick up for both tours is from a variety of city hotels. The bus route no. 180 offers a cheap and pleasant unofficial sightseeing tour. Operating between Powazki Cemetary and Wilanow, the bus passes all the main monuments in Warsaw. The cost is the same as for a city transport ticket (see Public Transport in Getting Around).
