The signature running route in Warsaw. The best section is ~5 km of paths between the Łazienkowski Bridge and the Gdański Bridge. Paths on west side are paved and more developed. The east side side is greener, with gravel paths. Full loop is 12 km (7.5 miles).
An 11+ km 'runseeing' tour of the best of Warsaw. Starting from Old Town, takes in many of Warsaw's most important sites, through the Ujazdowski Castle and the Lazienki Park to end at the Palace in Wilanowa. Run one way and take tram back!
A classic European city park, located along the 'Royal Route'. Several paths wonderful for running -- can easily put together a few km within the park. The park features several museums, cultural institutions, gardens, and the Palace on the Isle.
A 140 acre park in the Praga Południe district. Skaryszewski was designed in the early 1900s, and features wonderful paths through meadows & fields, a lake, sculptures, & more. Route also includes a loop around PGE Narodowy stadium.
A 172 acre field, with paved and unpaved paths in the Mokotów neighborhood. It's a bit over 4 km around the paths. Combine with Łazienki Park and other nearby parks for a longer run.
A 370 acre preserve about 8 km north of Warsaw. Several km of trails for running, including dedicated cycling and walking trails. We've mapped a route that combines two parks and a lake just to the east.
A 2,200 acre forest that's 14km south of Warsaw, with many km of trails great for running. It's best to design your own route through the many wooded and shaded trails.
Large park in the north-west outskirts of Warsaw, with extensive trails for running. A great escape with lots of variety, and types of terrain. Mainly for trail running, with options for various distances & difficulty. Good hills if you want them!
