Saxon Gardens, Warsaw, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland
With manicured lawns, lush flowerbeds and exquisite sculptures, the elegant and well-kept Saxon Gardens are among the finest green spaces in the city. Once a royal playground, this city center park is now a tranquil rest stop, popular with dog walkers, families and strollers.
Amble around the park and ponder its history.
This site was originally chosen by King Augustus II Mocny for his royal gardens, before opening as a public space in the 18th century. These gardens were once part of the “Saxon Axis,” a series of parks on the outskirts of the old city.
