Article about Lublin: https://poznajekraje.pl/2022/09/29/at... Lublin is a city that is not associated with sightseeing, like Krakow or Wroclaw. However, we decided to take up the challenge and during our visit to Lublin, we recorded a film in which we collected the best attractions of Lublin. If you are wondering what to see in Lublin, we invite you to watch the film! We will start sightseeing in Lublin from the Old Town, which is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved old towns in Poland. On the Lublin market square stands the Old Town Hall, which has been the seat of the Crown Tribunal since the 16th century. A big attraction of Lublin are beautiful tenement houses, with which many legends are associated, including the legend of the devil's paw. While sightseeing in Lublin, we can go on a trip to the underground, which leads under the streets of the Old Town. Our Lublin sightseeing plan also includes less obvious places. A short distance from the market square you can see the Stone of Misfortune, which is better not to touch, because according to legend, it brings bad luck. Another attraction in our guide is the 14th century Krakow Gate, which guards access to the Old Town. It houses the Lublin History Museum, a magnificent spiral staircase, and a viewing point. If you are looking for the best viewing point in Lublin, we have good news! The Trinitarian Tower is a place you must visit, because at a height of 40 meters there is a viewing terrace from which you can admire the panorama of Lublin. Another popular attraction in Lublin is the Po Farze Square, which was once the site of the Church of St. Michael the Archangel, built in the 13th century. Due to its technical condition, it was demolished several hundred years later. You can see the foundations and a model of this church here. From here, there is also a view of Castle Hill. Following our guide to Lublin, we will now pass through the Grodzka Gate, which is also called the Jewish Gate, because it used to lead to the Jewish Quarter. It currently connects the Old Town with the Castle Quarter. The history of Lublin is connected with the Jewish Quarter, and its current form of commemoration is the Lantern of Remembrance, one of the last surviving pre-war street lamps in Lublin. What else is worth seeing in Lublin? Of course, the Castle, whose history dates back to the 12th century. Over the centuries, it has served various functions: it was a royal residence, a prison, and currently serves as the National Museum. In addition to visiting the castle, it is also worth paying attention to two other attractions in Lublin, the Donjon tower, which has a viewing terrace, and the Holy Trinity Chapel, one of the most valuable monuments of medieval art in Poland and Europe. Our sightseeing plan also includes two churches. The first is the Archcathedral of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist, the most important and one of the largest churches in Lublin. The second is the Basilica of the Dominican Fathers, one of the oldest temples in the city, because the Dominicans appeared in Lublin already in the 13th century. When going to Lublin for the weekend, it is worth visiting Litewski Square, where military parades were originally held. Over time, it became a place to organize city events and celebrations. It is worth planning a visit to this square during the dancing fountain show. Another, this time green attraction of Lublin, is the Saxon Garden, where you can relax while walking along the green alleys. The Saxon Garden is the oldest park in the city. It was established in the 19th century in the English style, i.e. imitating a natural park. If you are planning a weekend in Lublin, be sure to visit the Lublin Village Museum. It is a very pleasant and green place, where you can walk along the alleys through sectors focusing on different regions of the Lublin region. The last point on our Lublin sightseeing plan is the State Museum at Majdanek, which was established in November 1944 on the site of a former German concentration camp. Its mission is to cultivate memory and develop historical education about the German occupation of the Lublin region during World War II. Man does not live by monuments alone, so during the weekend in Lublin it is worth trying the most popular Lublin snack, which is of course the 'cebularz'. It is a wheat pancake with onion and poppy seeds, which is an official regional product. We recommend the 'cebularz' from the Marcin Orlikowski Bakery-Confectionery. We encourage you to visit Lublin, because it is a perfect city for a weekend! #lublin #poland #trip #attractions #sightseeing #holidays #vacation xxx Website: https://poznajekraje.pl/ Instagram: / poznajekraje Facebook: / poznajekraje
