Warsaw is lucky to have 2 botanical gardens. One is located in the city center  – the Botanical Garden of Warsaw University (the other is in the suburbs of Warsaw in Powsin). The Botanical Garden of the Warsaw University – beautiful nature at your fingertips in the heart of Warsaw – sounds like a cheap advertising slogan, but the Garden is really wonderful. It is full of winding alleys, hills, paths among flower beds and hedges, pergolas, corners with fountains, and a pond. Secret garden like in a fairy tale.
In 1818, the Garden was separated from the Łazienki Royal Park. It is not large and during sunny weekends there are not as many visitors compared to the neighboring Łazienki Park.
