Pola Mokotowskie is the most popular green area to hang out in the center of Warsaw. Because of that, it is also very crowded. Especially during the weekend, there is almost no place to sit down and relax. So I have some alternate place to hide: just 15 extra minutes of walking and you can find the beautiful, charming, cozy park named Morskie Oko in the Mokotów district.
You can find a small pool with a fountain there, as well as a couple of nice spots with benches hidden between the trees and bushes. That is definitely my favorite spot for a romantic picnic. Dog lovers might also find a lot of friends here!
It is located on a hill, so it could also be a nice challenge for runners or cyclists.
