Lublin, located just 160 km (100 miles) south-east of
Warsaw, and the surrounding countryside of the Lublin Province
is one of Poland's most beautiful and fascinating places to visit.
Being on the border of the European Union, it also serves as a bridge between
the East and West, based on its rich multicultural heritage.
A tour of Lublin will give you an insight into Poland's turbulent history
and multicultural heritage.
Experience the medieval Old Town with its winding streets full of fascinating
legends! Enter the impressive Castle and see the fabulous Byzantine wall paintings
of the Castle Chapel! Visit the oldest surviving Jewish cemetery in Poland and
discover the history of the outstanding Jewish community of Lublin!
From Lublin you can make day-trips combining sightseeing with recreation.
Kazimierz Dolny and Janowiec, two historic and picturesque
towns on opposite banks of the Vistula river, are the region's premier
tourist attractions.
We highly recommend visiting the Kozłówka palace with its opulent
interiors and the unique gallery of socialist-realist art.
Another charming place not to be missed is Zamość, the ideal
Renaissance city, and the pristine natural beauty of the
surrounding Roztocze region is balm for a weary soul.
Eat, drink and be merry!
However, Lublin is not all about history! The Old Town and the modern city centre are full
of cosy pubs and cafés where you can taste superb Polish beer, including the local
brand called Perła, or choose from a selection of wines and liquors, and often
listen to excellent live music.
Getting hungry? Make yourself comfortable at one of the numerous restaurants where you can savour the
traditional Polish, Jewish or Mediterranean cuisine.
If you don't have much time or money to spare, there is a wide selection
of bars (with salads and other vegetarian dishes),
fast-food joints and kebab places.
The above is a clumsy attempt at presenting just a few of the
reasons why you should visit Lublin and the Lublin Region. We are going
to steadily expand and improve this website, let it be a foretaste
of what you can experience when you actually come here!
