About
Saxon Garden is Warsaw’s oldest public park, stretching 15.5 hectares across the historic Saxon Palace grounds. Originally a Baroque French‑style garden, it evolved into a Romantic English‑style landscape, featuring tree‑lined avenues, formal parterres, and a range of sculptures. The park is home to the iconic 1855 Henryk Marconi fountain, a 1863 sundial, and the 19th‑century Water Tower. It also houses the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a national memorial with an hourly guard‑change ceremony. Open year‑round and free to enter, the garden is a popular destination for families, history buffs, and nature lovers alike.
