Fifteen Chopin benches were placed in Warsaw on the route from the Gniński-Ostrogski Palace on the Krasińskich Square to the Chopin Statue in the Royal Baths Park. Majority of them are placed on the Krakowskie Przedmieście or in its vicinity, where young Chopin used to spend most time. He lived here, studied, delivered concerts, composed music and met friends.

The benches are made of black polished granite called "Supreme Black", which is known for its elegance. The stone bears short inscriptions related to the composer and an easily legible, well ordered map presenting all locations on the Chopin route. Foreign tourists have access to the information in the English language version.

The highlight of the Chopin benches is the possibility of listening to the Chopin’s music. Each bench has a button initiating thirty or forty seconds long fragments of the most famous compositions by Fryderyk Chopin. Moreover, the benches have separate for every place QR Code, that is small pictures which, after having been photographed with the use of the mobile phone, enable downloading from the Town Hall’s website the Chopin application with the audio mp3 guide and Chopin’s music.
