    Nice tranquil park. His actual house was closed (winter) but open in summer. Nice facilities and a gift shop. Chopin's music can be heard throughout the park.

    Being a foreigner living in Poland, this was one of my favorite places to visit. It is beautiful, with inspiring landscapes that look like paintings, the snow mixed with the sun made our tour an unforgettable day in this place. It breathes art, history, nostalgia, romance and culture. Chopin, a great classical music that will never be forgotten.

    Wonderful park in the place of birth of Frederick Chopin. Great place to spend a weekend and unwind yourself. Not much left of the original but restored with caution to the times.

    Beautiful gardens and exceptional live concert. The house is recreated mainly from guesswork, but the gardens are worth the visit on a nice day

    A great place to go and a “must have” while visiting Warsaw. First -the place were Chopin was born Second - open piano concerts, especially worth listening in the spring or summer while there is so beautiful outside. Third - the park which surround the house. Stunning. Overall the place is essential. Go and you will not regret it.

    The birth place of Frederic Chopin is beautiful and meaningful, especially in summer when you can appreciate the beautiful gardens, with speakers tucked in amongst the flower beds. Chopin's music is played throughout the gardens and attending the live concerts performed in the house is very special. If only he could have lived longer.... imagine the repertoire!

    Incredible place. Looks like everything emits the positive vibes. The house, his music, garden, river. The house is not big, only six rooms, but the garden is. His music is audible everywhere. Can sit in the garden and enjoy listening. It's just a bit more than one hour distant from the Warsaw.

    If you love Chopin’s music and curious to get to know his early life, come here to the house where the great artist was born. It’s a small house showing the Chopin’s family life. The house is quite beautiful surrounded by a big wonderful green park where you can listen to the Chopin’s music. The tickets you can buy just directly at the spot, to visit museum on Saturday is possible after 4 pm. There is a nice cafe where you can drink a good coffee and eat something. Just 50 min from Warsaw.

    A big disappointment. Nothing to see in the museum, everything is staged since no original equipment was saved after the war. The whole complex is nice and the park was beautiful and magical as long as the music was playing which stopped around 5:30 PM. Overall, expensive park visit. Also expensive and mediocre coffee.

    Beautifully renovated park. We enjoyed the short Thursday concert by a young pianist. We were only disappointed by the very average lunch offered at the restaurant just within the gate.

    A really beautiful place for a stroll and to relax. The entry to the park is PLN 20 per person and PLN 15 to the house. There is 2 car parks nearby that cost PLN 20 / PLN 15 per car.

    They did a very good job to make this memorable place attractive to tourists. Beautiful park with a river and interesting trees and bushes.

    The birthplace of Frederick Chopin is a small museum located in a very grand and lovely garden. The museum, which is Chopin’s original house, is quite small and doesn’t display much since the family did not live a long time in it. A lot of Chopin’s items are located in the Chopin Museum in Warsaw. The place itself was very nice, but getting here was quite difficult due to the lack of transportation in the town of Sochaczew (where the train station is) to Zelazowa Wola. Uber/Bolt are rare, so taxi is your best choice.

    Das Geburtshaus von Chopin ist toll in Szene gesetzt. Es wird mit Kino und Parkanlage gut ergänzt.

  • 5/5 James L. 1 year ago on Google
    I believe it would be perfect to come here on Saturdays during September, on which there are concerts for the attending public. A very nice to chill and relax, or even have a stroll. It's also nice to come here in October to enjoy the autumn scenery.

    Fabulous museum with beautiful gardens celebrating the life and works of Chopin

    We visited less than an hour after a snow storm and we’re treated to fresh snow covered grounds

    Beautiful park, with many interesting features. Chopin's house and its surroundings are really worth seeing.

  • 5/5 Konrad K. 10 months ago on Google
    During the summer season a live piano concert on Sunday at 12PM is a must when visiting the museum and its park!

  • 5/5 Ilya F. 11 months ago on Google
    Very nice park and place, where Chopin was born and lived only for the 1st 6 months of his life. Bud symbolik meaning of this property is so great for every musician in the world

    Amazing garden to walk around. They had all native species of plants and trees. Definitely a place to visit. I was a little sad about the concert as the pianist was inside and they played it through speakers outside but it was a great performance.

    Visited here during fall time. Enjoyed a lot more of the grden than the house itself, was kind of hoping to see more about this musical genious.

  • 5/5 Douglas Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic, well presented for those who love F. Chopin. Provides an insight into his early years. Out in the countryside do expect to drive there. It'd also on a cycle route. Check website for daily piano recitals.

    I was there on the 17th of July (Sunday). Arrived around 12 p.m., it was reasonable number of people. I didn't succeed to visit Dom as guys told that it will be available from the 16.00 p.m., but finally I was not upset as the park around was very nice (nice trees, flowers, river, 2 bridges, a lot of paths - there was not feeling that you have people around), there was a kind of concert, so laying on the grass I was listening to the great music :) there is nice cafe on the territory with strong coffee and big pieces of cakes :) highly recommend to visit the place, but if you would like to visit Dom, check working hours of it. ENJOY! :)
