Planning a visit to Lublin? What an excellent idea! In addition to its unique monuments and fascinating museums, you’ll discover a variety of other attractions here. To ensure you don’t miss out on anything, we’ve compiled some tips for exploring the charms of the "goat's city." You certainly won’t be bored! Here are some selected suggestions:
1. Visit the Lublin Tourist and Cultural Information Centre
While strolling along Lublin's promenade, be sure to visit the Lublin Tourist and Cultural Information Centre (6 Krakowskie Przedmieście St.). We will assist you in planning your visit, provide you with free promotional materials, and offer the opportunity to purchase magnets, postcards, maps, and even traditional Lublin products. The centre also offers luggage storage and bicycle rentals. We welcome you from Monday to Sunday.
2. Be sure to eat a cebularz
Round, fragrant, and crunchy—that's exactly what a cebularz is. This wheat flatbread, sprinkled with onions and poppy seeds, was traditionally baked by Lublin's Jewish community before the war. A delicacy now included in the list of traditional products from the Lublin region, it is best purchased from bakeries located near the Old Town. Enjoy this tasty treat, and you'll have plenty of energy for sightseeing!
3. Tell the world: I love Lublin!
We are convinced that Lublin will steal your heart. If it does, there’s nothing stopping you from taking a photo with the "I Love Lublin" sign on Litewski Square—it’s a fantastic memento of your stay in the Goat City! If photography is your passion, be sure to explore the most Instagrammable spots in Lublin.
4. Stad in front of the portal
Hello, Vilnius! How are you doing? Dublin, how are you? A futuristic structure resembling virtual doors located in Litewski Square transmits live images between Lublin and Vilnius, as well as Lublin and Dublin. Sometimes you can even look at the Earth from space!
5. Take a ride on the trolleybus.
In Lublin, we were riding electric vehicles before it became trendy. For many years, residents of three Polish cities have been getting around in electric vehicles. Trolleybuses still operate on the streets of Gdynia, Tychy, and our beautiful Lublin! Want to take a ride? You can use one of the regular lines or the historic vehicle that runs during the summer season.
6. Say hello to the goat.
You will find the most popular Lublin goat at the corner of Krakowskie Przedmieście and Wróblewskiego Street. Remember to say hello to this friendly animal featured in Lublin's coat of arms. A photo together is definitely encouraged!
7. Walk under the Lublin sky.
Are you in the mood for sky-high strolls? Visit the observation decks at the roof of the Centre for the Meeting of Cultures. Don’t forget to check the event schedule beforehand. There’s always something interesting happening there!
8. Use the free audio guide
The free Lublin Old Town app will take you on an interesting tour of the Old Town and the city center. You will learn important facts about the monuments around you as well as intriguing details about the city's history. The Old Town Trail takes about an hour and begins at the Lublin Tourist and Cultural Information Centre (6 Krakowskie Przedmieście St.).
9. Relax by the "Lublin sea"
For a slightly longer trip, we recommend the 'Lublin Sea,' a nickname for the Zemborzycki Reservoir, which is fed by the Bystrzyca River. You'll find pleasant green spots to relax there. You can stroll along the shoreline or take a bike ride along the path that circles the reservoir. Additionally, you can reach the reservoir from the center of Lublin on two wheels via a dedicated path along the Bystrzyca River.
10. Participate in the annual events
Night of Culture, Different Sounds, Re:Tradition - Jagiellonian Fair, Carnaval Sztukmistrzów, European Festival of Taste... the list goes on! The array of amazing events that take place in Lublin each year is truly long and fascinating. Be sure to check what will be happening during your visit."
