On the grounds of the Royal Palace is a park dedicated to native son, Frederic Franciszek Chopin. Complete with a reflecting pool and rose garden waiting for the sun's warmth to coax the blooms, this park plays host to various musicians who play Chopin's works for park visitors each Sunday.
Known as one of the greatest Romantic composers, this musical genius was forced out of Poland following the Russian suppression of the Polish uprising in 1830. Though he lived most of his life in France, our guide was proud to tell us that most of Chopin's work was composed in Poland.
Considered a national treasure Chopin's works are being highlighted this year in concerts by various artists.
