We went there in January to see an exhibition of artefacts, which once belonged to the Royal House of Wettin, who once were the kings of Poland. And lousy kings at that. The exhibition was less than modest when compared to the treasures of Wettin Dresden. However, the Royal Lazienki complex was not. Even in winter it never lost its beauty and appeal. You can easily spend a day there if only weather is nice. In a spacious and beautifully maintained garden are a number of charming neo-classical buildings, which are a delight to see and visit. Palace on the Isle is a particular treasure reminiscent of Italian rinascimento. There are lovely caffes and restaurants in some of the pavilions. In the gardens tame red squirrels play host so don’t forget to bring plenty of UNsalted peanuts for them.
