    Botanical Garden

    Enter the Botanical Garden from Kusocińskiego Street just as it opens. The gardens are open from 1 April until 31 October, so this mid-April visit is perfect for seeing the early spring plant exhibitions and natural architecture before the crowds arrive.

    Pizzeria Piaski

    Walk 16 minutes from the garden to Pizzeria Piaski for a relaxed lunch. The pizza restaurant is open from 12:00, so you will have time to eat while the afternoon light begins to lengthen.

    Botanical Garden

    Return to the Botanical Garden for the golden hour walk. As the sun sets toward the WNW at 19:39, the late afternoon light filters through the trees and glasshouses, offering a peaceful end to your visit.

Local tip

Check the specific opening hours for the botanical garden on the day of your visit, as they can vary by season. The garden is largest in Poland, so wear comfortable shoes for the 11-minute walk from the zoo area if you are starting there.
