Historic Park (outer and castle-adjacent)

The park surrounding the complex of Museum buildings is an important part of the visit – it allows for walking, resting, and contact with nature. We have two areas:

Outer Park (Landscape) – large, free of charge (no tickets required).

• 
  There are five entrances to the park: two from Kościuszki Street and three from 3 Maja Street – all level with the pavement.
  The alleys are paved and have clearly defined edges.
  In some places, there are minor obstacles, e.g. water drains, which may hinder wheelchair movement.
  There are benches throughout the Park, allowing for rest in the shade of trees.
  You can walk your dog on a leash in the Landscape Park. Please clean up after it.
  Access to selected exhibitions requires passing through the Park.

Inner Park (at the Castle) – accessible only with a ticket.

The entrance leads through the castle bridge.
This park is fenced and not freely accessible.
If you already have a ticket to the Castle or the Orangery, you do not need to buy an additional ticket.
If you only want to see the Castle Park, you can buy tickets at the ticket machine next to the bridge entrance.
Only a guide dog or an assistance dog may enter the Castle Park.
In the Italian Garden – a part of the Castle Park – there are markings in Braille.
The area is paved and accessible for most manual wheelchairs. If you need assistance – please contact us in advance.
