Separated from the public gardens and woods surrounding Lake Rusałka by only a road, Park Sołacki essentially ushers you into this lush green district just northwest of the Old Town. Really, on its own it would be enough - with the Bogdanka River running right through it, and two ponds with charming bridges spanning them, plus lots of ducks and waterfowl, this is perhaps Poznań's most intimate and picturesque park (that weird sculpture at the north end, notwithstanding). With no fence hemming it in you're free to wander the more than 14 hectares it covers and enjoy the peace and quiet anytime you like. Pack a picnic, pick up some goodies from Petit Paris just outside the east exit, or have an elegant evening in one ofMilano Ristorante or Port Sołacz, the latter of which is directly at the heart of the park.

To get to Sołacki Park, check the tram connections on jakdojade to the 'Sołacz' stop.
