Planty Park, City park next to Old Town in Kraków, Poland.

The park forms a 4-kilometer green belt around the Old Town, containing thirty gardens with monuments, fountains, and numerous walking paths.

Established between 1822 and 1830, the park replaced medieval fortification walls that previously protected the city of Kraków.

Multiple statues honor Polish figures, including Nicolaus Copernicus, Jan Matejko, Queen Jadwiga, and King Wladyslaw II Jagiello throughout the gardens.

The park connects major landmarks along the Royal Road, stretching from the Florian Gate to Wawel Castle, making navigation simple for visitors.

Professor Feliks Radwański successfully advocated to preserve sections of the medieval walls, including the Florian Gate and Barbican, during the park's creation.
