The Royal Łazienki is the legacy of the last monarch of Poland, King Stanisław August Poniatowski. It was his summer residence. Now, Lazienki Park is Warsaw's biggest public park. A Polish King who loved art and nature bequeathed us a place that is one of the finest settings to learn the stories of old Poland.

A romantic, landscaped park with four unique gardens, it was created in the 17th century. The famous Palace on the Isle - one of the most valuable historical buildings in Poland, houses the Royal Picture Gallery.
