There’s also a natural lake found behind the Palace, where gondolas complete with gondoliers and rowing boats can be hired for leisurely trips on the water beginning in May (weather permitting). A trip here will reward you with a glimpse of Enrico Marconi’s strange, Gothic-inspired pump room, and an adventure to the Park’s island reveals a monument to the Polish soldier, Captain Ksawery Burski, who served in the army of the Duchy of Warsaw and who gave his life at Wilanów fighting the Austrians at the Battle of Raszyn in 1809.

7/5 zł for a place in a gondola; 20zł per boat per hour.
