Events by date 09.10 - 27.02 » Wilanów Royal Garden of Light To bring a little cheer to cold autumn and winter evenings (and some appeal to an otherwise grey garden), the Wilanów Palace (p.41) has turned the outdoor premises into a special Royal Garden filled with thousands of colourful diodes, mimicking the baroque shapes of plants. One of Warsaw’s most beloved holiday traditions, almost every local family turns out at some point during the season to see these festive illuminations. On Fri, Sat and Sun evenings, there are shows using 3D projections onto the palace facade. Note that the last entrance is at 20:30.QP‑2, Wilanów Palace Museum, ul. St. Kostki Potockiego 10/16, tel.
