Designed in the 17th century by Tylman van Gameren and later shaped by Stanisław August Poniatowski, the last king of Poland, this 76-hectare city-center park sits on Ujazdów Avenue along the Royal Route linking the Royal Castle to Wilanów Palace. The name "Baths" comes from an ornate pavilion built for a military commander. It has been a public park since 1918.
What to look for
- Free-roaming peafowl and red squirrels among the park's 9,500-plus trees
- The baroque bathing pavilion designed by Tylman van Gameren for commander Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski — the structure that gave the park its name
- The Belweder palace on the southern boundary, now one of the official residences of the President of Poland
The park entrance sits on Ujazdów Avenue in central Warsaw, directly on the Royal Route — walkable from the city center.
