Politechnika metro station is a 20-minute walk away.
Access via Trasa Łazienkowska. The nearest parking spaces are on Bagatela Street. There is no dedicated car park for garden of lights visitors.
Due to the presence of rare and protected plant species, dogs and other animals are not allowed in the garden of lights.
Due to the historic nature of the site, the number of visitors in the garden of lights is limited.
The paths in the garden of lights are suitable for pushchairs. They are also accessible to people with limited mobility. During heavy snowfall, getting around with a pushchair or wheelchair may be difficult, and there may be icy patches in places.
The paths are cleared of snow and gritted with sand, but because of the rare and protected plant species in the garden, no salt is used on them.
You can buy coffee, tea and something sweet on site.
Bicycles, scooters and sledges are not allowed.
