1. I Love Lublin
Everybody loves Lublin! If the city has enchanted you too, snap a photo with the illuminated sign at Litewski Square to share your feelings with the world.
2. Terraces of the Centre for the Meeting of Cultures
The Centre for the Meeting of Cultures is a popular spot among photography enthusiasts. The illuminated façade, raw interiors, and the combination of concrete and glass make for stunning pictures. The roof terraces, in particular, are frequently featured on Instagram.
3. View from the Castle Tower
The Old Town looks truly delightful from above. A great viewpoint is the tower, commonly known as the Donjon, located in the courtyard of the National Museum in Lublin. From its terrace, you'll see Grodzka Gate, Po Farze Square, churches, the Dominican church and monastery, Cracow Gate, Trinitarian Tower, and even part of the archcathedral. What a view!
4. Trinitarian Tower
“On its tower, a tin cock fluttered…” wrote Lublin poet Józef Czechowicz in his "Poem on the City of Lublin." The highest viewpoint in Lublin overlooks the market square, surrounded by medieval burgher houses. For a more mysterious shot, try capturing a photo from the corner of Jezuicka and Bramowa streets.
5. Tightrope walker
Lublin’s tightrope walker is inspired by the magician from Isaac Bashevis Singer's novel. You can meet him every day as he walks above Grodzka Street, and he will gladly pose for a photo.
6. Multimedia fountain
It's surely one of the top attractions of the renovated Litewski Square. It provides enjoyable view mostly on the summer evenings, when its lit with colourful illumination. On certain days promotional spots about Lublin are broadcast on the water courtain there.
7. Ku Farze street
The narrowest street in Lublin connects Po Farze Square with Rybna Street. Upon turning from Grodzka Street, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. This alley is also a very popular spot for wedding photography.
8. Po Farze square
It's hard to believe that a church dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel stood here in the mid-19th century. Today, a bronze model commemorates this history, along with raised foundations resembling a small labyrinth. You can also see Lublin Castle in all its glory from this spot.
9. Cracow Gate
To be in Lublin and not take a photo of the Cracow Gate? Impossible! This 14th-century landmark looks graceful from both Łokietek Square and the Old Town. The gate houses the Museum of the History of Lublin, featuring very Instagram-friendly spiral stairs.
10. Stairs to the Castle
To reach the top of Castle Hill from Castle Square, you’ll need to climb monumental stairs, which are also quite popular among photographers.
11. Hartwig Alley
Edward Hartwig was a Lublin photographer, remembered for his melancholic photos that captured morning mists and light. Today, his family sponsors Hartwig Alley, where atmospheric stairs connect Rybny Square with Kowalska Street.
12. Love lock bridge in the Saxon Garden
This city park, established in 1837, is a serene escape from urban noise and a popular spot for photographers. As you stroll through the park, you might encounter proud peacocks and stop at the love lock bridge, a truly romantic sight.
13. Perła Brewery
Art frequently adorns the streets of Lublin, especially during festivals like the Festival of Art in Public Space "OPEN CITY" or Night of Culture. Many artistic installations remain in the city longer than the events themselves. Unique artworks can be found at the former Perła Brewery on Bernardyńska Street.
14. Magnolias at the courtyard of the Catholic University of Lublin
It’s a shame these beautiful flowers don’t bloom year-round. However, if you visit Lublin in the spring, let their beauty dazzle you. Show how cool they are and tag with #kulmagnolie!
15. Zamkowa street
The passage between Grodzka Gate and the National Museum in Lublin is one of the most photographed views of the Castle.
16. Panas Alley
Is this Tuscany? You might mistake it for Italy while walking down the stairs from Po Farze Square to Podwale Street.
17. View from the Czwartek Hill
Capture another panoramic view of the Old Town from Czwartek Hill—just stand by the bell tower next to St. Nicholas Church.
18. Alley by the Cracow Gate
Though not much remains of the 14th-century city walls, the fragment adjoining Cracow Gate from Szambelańska Street is a real magnet for Instagrammers.
19. Lublin goat
A goat climbing a drinking water fountain can be found at the corner of Krakowskie Przedmieście and Wróblewskiego streets. It makes for a great photo and quenches your thirst on a hot day.
20. House of Words
The courtyard of the House of Words feels like a fairy tale. This season, it transports us to the Hundred Acre Wood, where you can find Winnie the Pooh’s wisdom in every corner.
21. Open Air Village Museum in Lublin
The Open Air Village Museum in Lublin is one of the most photogenic places in the city. The reception building, cemetery gate, manor house from Żyrzyn, Orthodox church from Tarnoszyn, and the windmill from Zygmuntów are just some of the spots that will earn you plenty of likes on Instagram.
