The train journey from Warsawto Lodz takes a little bit less than 2 hours but these two cities couldn’t be any more different. While Warsaw used to be sophisticated and elegant, known as Paris of the East (and now is a “Phoenix city”and a mix of just about everything), Lodz is full of its industrial heritage. The settlement, conveniently located in...
I started my weekend in Lodz by visiting the local tourist info center, conveniently located in the middle of Piotrkowska street – the most important street in the city. And it was the best decision as the guy working there was very passionate about his hometown and happily shared all his knowledge and recommendations for the places to visit in Lod...
Before setting off to exploring Lodz I went to my hotel – Stare Kino Cinema Residence. I adore unusual places and well, it was love at first sight. The hotel is located in one of the yards on Piotrkowska street, not far from Off Piotrkowska (the best place in the city). Since the film industry is very strong in Lodz (the biggest film studio and the...
Most cities have market squares in old towns as the main venue but Lodz has Piotrkowska street. It is the second longest street in the city and one of the longest commercial streets in Europe, spreading for almost 5 km in the heart of the city. The most beautiful part, from Plac Woloności to Piłsudskiego street, is pedestrian however you need to lo...
The most famous yard can be found at Piotrkowska 138/140. That’s where Off Piotrkowskais located – a cultural and creative center of Lodz. A former spinning and weaving factory was transformed in 2011 to serve people. Right now there’re around 50 small businesses operating: designers, architects, restaurants, clubs, galleries or concept stores (jus...
But even if Off Piotrkowska is the best spot in Lodz there’re a couple of similar places along the main street. At number 217, in the former iron foundry, a culinary scene of Lodz is blooming. That’s where the street food festival and food market take place but also where some really nice cafes and restaurants are located. Apparently Lodz needs thi...
With such a rich industrial past I was expecting to see numerous factories in Lodz. But I didn’t expect that many of them! I can’t really recall the number of factories I’ve admired in these 2 days of Lodz! In recent years they’ve been going through the major restoration process, giving them the splendid look and charm. I was over excited to see th...
The main reason, however, why I came to Lodz was the amazing street art. It was the first Polish city that I recall where big murals were introduced and promoted. Back in 2009 the local foundation Urban Forms started promoting the street art, inviting international artists like ROA from Belgium (known from Berlin street art) or Inti from Chile (you...
It’s not that Lodz is only about creative and post-industrial places. You can find truly beautiful architecture there too. As a rather new city, there isn’t a typical old town but a wealthy past resulted in many jaw-dropping mansions and palaces that used to belong to the most prominent citizens. The most stunning one is Izrael Poznański Palace – a...
If you ask random people in Polandif they would go for a city break to Lodz most of them will probably tell you there’s nothing interesting there. Huge mistake! Two days I’ve spent there were not enough to see all I wanted to – i.e. I missed all the museums or grand cemeteries, some of the most beautiful ones in Poland. Before visiting Lodz I didn’...
