Warsaw University Library Garden — Attraction in Warsaw

Totally loved the experience of being at the University of Warsaw Library Gardens! Though library was closed for holidays but I'll plan a visit there when it gets greener and more colorful.

Impressive from the outside, exquisite from the inside, and has fantastic views from the top. I had been planning on visiting this extraordinary library in Poland, which is one of its kind located right in the heart of the national capital. Speaking of the library:

The library boasts of a roof garden split into two parts: the upper garden (open to the public from April to October) and the lower garden (open year-round)

The garden was opened on the University of Warsaw Library roof in 2002, spanning over the 1-hectare surface area.

It's one of the largest roof gardens in Europe accessible through an entry garden. The roof garden is divided into two parts. A cascading stream connects both parts (upper & lower parts).

The lower part includes a fish pond, with a bunch of ducks paddling around. Warsaw has a nice population of Mandarin ducks which are an exotic duck breed, so colourful. You might come across one of them stroking the lake waters.

There's a series of granite sculptures by Ryszard Stryjecki on cosmological themes.

Make sure that you check the hours correctly before you go there. To enter the library premises indoors, you must have a library card or a student's ID from the University of Warsaw.
