Planty Park

FreeLeashed only

A 2.5-mile green belt of mature trees, fountains and benches wrapping the entire medieval Old Town on the site of the former city moat. It is described as the perfect dog-walking frame for the whole center, with café terraces accessible along its perimeter. Shaded paths make it pleasant even on hot days.

Why it made the list

A continuous shaded loop linking every major sight, ideal for leashed walks between café stops.

Good to know before you go

Free public park open around the clock; dogs must be kept on leash on Planty paths per city park rules. Hours were not published as it is a public green belt.

Practical notes

  • Enter near the Barbakan for the quietest stretch
  • Loop it fully in about 90 minutes

What is available on site

  • Shaded seating
