A vast park with a beautiful palace on an island, an amphitheater and an orangery, right in the heart of Warsaw. An ideal place for relaxation and learning about Polish history.
Łazienki Królewskie, known in English as the Royal Baths, is a magnificent park and palace complex in central Warsaw. Originally a 17th-century bathing complex, King Stanisław August Poniatowski had it rebuilt as a summer residence in the 18th century. The dominant feature is the picturesque Palace on the Island (Pałac na Wodzie), surrounded by water and greenery, which served as a royal retreat.
In the vast English park you will encounter many architectural gems: the Old Orangery with a theatre, an amphitheater inspired by antiquity, the White House, and the Myślewicki Palace. Don't forget to visit the famous monument of Fryderyk Chopin, where regular outdoor piano concerts are held in summer – an unforgettable experience! The park is home to freely roaming peacocks and squirrels.
For tourists from Czechia, the complex is easily accessible from the city center – just walk or take a tram. Admission to the park is free, while entry to selected buildings requires a fee. We recommend setting aside at least half a day to leisurely explore all the nooks. There are cafes and toilets on site. Great tip: visit the park early in the morning when it's least crowded and enjoy a peaceful walk as in royal times.
