The baroque park, laid out in the 17th century, is one of the top sights in Warsaw. The main design element of the "garden of baths" is water. The Lazienki Palace is also charmingly reflected in a pool of water. The Lazienki Park was laid out by Tylman van Gameren, who worked as an architect and landscape planner for Count Stanislaw Lubomirski. One of the attractions of Lazienki Park are the free-roaming peacocks that proudly display their colorful feathers.

If you are looking for a place to relax in the center of Warsaw, you can look for a quiet place on the embankment between the Old Town "Stare Miasta" and the Vistula River. You can go for a stroll along the river bank or lay down in the grass and watch the water passing by.
