After
seeing the trees rapidly change colors this fall, I’d recommend this as one of
the top seasons to visit Warsaw or elsewhere in Poland.
Apparently,
the Poles even have a special term to describe this season - the Golden Polish Autumn,
(Złota Polska Jesień). The month of
October was truly splendid with golden, rust and pumpkin colors around the
city.
Though
it’s only the first week in November, the majority of the trees have already
shed their leaves. That means even colder winter temps are just around the
corner.
Last
month, I spent several afternoons taking photos around the city, which
continues to surprise me with its hidden beauty. It’s so refreshing to take a
stroll through one of the city’s numerous parks as mentioned in my Top
10 Reasons to Love Living in Warsaw.

One
of the parks I discovered thanks to one of my local readers, Kami at Kami
& The Rest of the World, was Park
Skaryszewski, the largest park on the right bank of Warsaw. The park covers
55 hectacres and contains several ponds, trees and places to settle down for a
picnic as well as a waterfall and a small pub. Again, remember all the ‘pubs in
parks’ that I’ve mentioned before?

When
I visited Park Skaryszewski, it was difficult to not take a good photo as the
autumn-colored trees were perfectly reflected in the ponds. Pretty soon, I
found myself with about 100 photos. Thank goodness I can edit and delete them
later!
Until
next fall, enjoy these photos taken around Warsaw. Maybe they’ll convince you
to visit us next year during the Golden Polish Autumn!

When my boyfriend came from Turkey on October, we went to Warsaw and we visited Park Skaryszewski, we liked so much! We were there in the morning, it was just great :)

ReplyDeleteI really miss beautiful Polish autumn
ReplyDelete@Angieszka, I can see why! We've loved seeing the colorful trees in Warsaw as well as nearby Kampinos National Park!
ReplyDeleteI had never experienced a true fall until moving to Europe, and oh man it's such a treat! Lovely photos.
ReplyDelete@ifs ands butts, I had experienced nice falls in NYC and Baltimore, but there's definitely something special about traveling around Europe in the fall too! :-)
