The Legacy of the Last King: A Self-Guided Audio Tour
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.
In summer, visitors to Royal Łazienki Park experience some of the best of European high culture. There are the summer concerts played by renowned pianists near the Monument to Chopin, and many other musical events in the park each Sunday from May to September.
The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.
