Warsaw is the most interesting. Warsaw Attractions - What to see in Warsaw in one day? Park Royal Lazenki

Although in Warsaw, we are far from the first time, but who would have thought that in the winter I will stay under a big impression of her. I share the places that I was pleasantly surprised.

Top - 1 Lazenki Park

If we did not remove the apartment in the Sielce area, in which this park is located, then it was possible that there was such an amazing place in Warsaw. Of course, I imagine how gorgeous here in the summer, but we were given the case to enjoy the beauty of this park in the winter. Fresh air, an unusual atmosphere, a large number of ducks and of course, despite the cold, the peacocks running around the world - charge positive emotions.

I highly recommend visiting the Palace on the water, which belonged to the last Polish king Stanislav Augustus. Today, this is a museum who serves the public. In the summer there are concerts with the participation of Piano. This museum works on Mondays from 11: 00-16: 00; From Tuesday to Sunday from 10: 00-16: 00. The ticket costs 15 zł, but we paid 20 zł for two (perhaps some of the rooms were closed).

Unique sculptures in front of the entrance to the palace.

Palace outside

This is a view from the entrance to the palace. In the summer there is water, and in January, this place looks like this.

At the entrance, shoe covers are issued to comply with purity in the palace. The palace himself very conquered his greatness and wealth.

Now I will tell you about what is inside. Show a few beautiful photos.

Balls were held here. Each room / hall is watching the flash to be turned off and literally go along with you. Alone was embarrassing, but then I got used to.

This is a picture room. The walls of a small room are filled with paintings.

This is a room in honor of Solomon.

This is an amazing place from which he absolutely did not want to leave.

On the second floor with a beautiful view from the window, the Cabinet of the king was located.

Cabinet immediately houses the royal bedroom. On the contrary there is a dressing room.

We fell to the Anna Konik exhibition. Cost of ticket 12 zł. Be sure to leave clothes and backpacks in the dressing room (and then they will be asked to go back and leave). Something reminds the exhibition in the Krakow Gallery of Mozc. True, Krakow was positive. I confess that I did not like the exhibition, it seemed very depressive. But I was distracted perfectly.

Depressive me seemed to me the room in which there were videos of women with severe life situations. I left there very sullen.

And this is a photo of a beautiful landscape. In fact, it is an animation in which you can enjoy the waves, just like live. This is exactly what I liked at the exhibition most.

What it is, I did not understand. Maybe who will guess?!

Picture "Hair".

This hologram liked the fact that you are experiencing many emotions. I did not have time to take a photo on which the girl was depicted. First, there is a shadow of the girl and looks out the window, then the view outside the window is constantly changing.

This is a series of short videos.
