Łazienki Park

Introducing Łazienki Park

Łazienki Park is one of the most beautiful parks in Poland, built in the English garden style. It was originally the villa of the last Polish king, Sław Poniatowski (1766-1795).

Because there is a statue of Chopin in the park, the Chinese also call it "Chopin Park".

The park is dotted with palaces, pavilions, ponds, and meadows, as well as rose gardens and orange orchards. The most famous floating palace, the Łazienki Palace, is magnificent and splendid. Originally the residence of royal officials, it now serves as a state guesthouse.

In Poland, the first green leaves of spring, that is, the first buds and leaf sprouts, usually appear in early April. May to September each year is the most beautiful season in Poland, with warm and sunny weather. September is known as the beginning of "Polish Golden Autumn". By October and November, the leaves turn yellow, gold, and red, and then fall. In Poland, there are an average of 300 days of cloudy weather a year. Therefore, if broken down by weather conditions (such as temperature), Poland has six seasons. In addition to the four typical European seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are two other seasons: "early spring" and "early winter."
