The Old Town in Lublin is just stunning and so charming! Cobbled streets, winding lanes, beautiful corners, and colorful townhouses with many details – you can find them all in Lublin. Entering one of the gates leading to the Old Town is like stepping back in time and stepping into a colorful and vibrant wonderland. It’s easy to lose the track of t...
Did you know that Lublin is one of only three cities in Poland that have trolleybusses (others are Gdyniaand Tychy)? Or that you can find an apiary right in the center of the city (at the rooftop of Centre for the Meeting of Cultures)? These are only a few of the quirks you can find in Lublin. There are cool yards hiding street art, poetry written ...
I’m impressed by how great Lublin is doing on the culinary scene. You can find there so many great restaurants, cafes and bars that making a choice where to eat or drink might be a bit challenging. What surprised me even more was how big the portions are served – I recently visited three different restaurants and it was impossible to finish the mea...
Another reason why I enjoy Lublin so much is the great street art scene. Besides the hidden yards and poetry on the walls that I’ve already mentioned, you can find some really good murals all over the city. They were painted by both local and international artists and not only show beautiful scenes but also how the city used to look like or remind ...

Lublin is probably the only city I know in Poland that is now ashamed of its multicultural past (for some reason many places in the country admit there were not only Poles inhabiting these lands). In the Old Town, you can find old, pre-war pictures of Lublin inhabitants – this is such an interesting project, giving the place a unique soul. The Jewi...
I’ve seen many ethnographic museums in my life (I recently discovered how fascinating they are) and The Open Air Village Museum in Lublin in one of the best I’ve ever seen. It’s large, showing not only old village houses but also the town with shops, craftsmen workshops or a hairdresser, a small manor house or the cemetery. This is such a great pla...
You can also use Lublin as a base to explore the region – one of the most idyllic and beautiful parts of Poland (and I’m not saying that because I’m biased as I come from there). Only a short ride away you can find Nałęczów – a popular spa town, Kazimierz Dolny– the artistic, charming town, Janowiec with the impressive ruins of the castle or Kozłów...
