Escape the City at Warsaw University Library Rooftop Garden
The Warsaw University Library roof garden was designed by the landscape architect Irena Bajerska and opened in 2002. The area is 1 hectare and it has beautiful views of the River Vistula and the city of Warsaw. There are symbolic themes and the planting is lush on a 300mm layer of soil. The library building has green walls and large wall teblets with mathematical formulas, musical scores, and famous quotations in various alphabets.
The rooftop opens from 8 AM to 6 PM every day and it is free to enter. In winter, from November 1 - March 31, it is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is a great place to escape the bustling city of Warsaw and be among nature as well as an excellent example of how publicly accessible greenspace can be made at roof level.
