Beautiful place, castle gardens beautifully kept. From the Vistula side there is also an entrance to the Kubicki Arcades, where various exhibitions and public events are often organized.

Castle Gardens - a garden adjacent to the Royal Castle in Warsaw from the Vistula side, between the castle and Wisłostrada. This area with an area of 5.8 ha is located partly on and below the Warsaw escarpment within the Śródmieście district. They were created in the Middle Ages and developed in the 16th century as a Renaissance garden. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the gardens were significantly beautified due to Warsaw's capital function, but the area below the escarpment was included only at the request of King Stanisław August. A large park was created in this place only in the 19th century, designed by Jakub Kubicki, and the busy street at the foot of the escarpment was hidden in the so-called Kubicki Arcades from 1818-1821, connecting the lower garden with the upper one and not disturbing traffic in this part of the city.

The Royal Castle in Warsaw - a baroque-classicist royal castle located at Plac Zamkowy 4. There is a museum (Royal Route) and palace gardens here.

The Castle Gardens are a historic green complex at the Royal Castle in Warsaw, stretching between the castle and Wisłostrada. They were created in the Middle Ages, and in the 16th century they took the form of a Renaissance garden. In the following centuries they were gradually expanded, and in the 19th century Jakub Kubicki created the concept of a large park, hiding a busy street in the Kubicki Arcades.

After World War II, the gardens fell into neglect, but reconstruction work has been underway since 1991. The garden will be recreated on three levels: a geometric garden from the Vasa era, a 19th-century hanging garden, and a layout referring to the interwar period.
