About

The Botanical Garden of the University of Warsaw is a peaceful green retreat located near Łazienki Park, offering visitors a rich blend of nature, history, and science. Established in 1818, it is one of the oldest botanical gardens in Poland and serves both as a research site and a beautiful place to explore.

The garden’s greenhouses house tropical and subtropical plants like orchids, palms, and carnivorous species. Seasonal exhibitions, workshops, and nature-inspired events make the garden a lively educational and recreational space. Open during the warmer months, it provides a tranquil setting for walks and quiet reflection, making it an ideal stop for tourists looking to experience Warsaw’s natural side in a central and historic setting.
