In the city, we can find a lot of places which had seen its 700 years long tradition. Beautiful Old Town, Lublin Castle and the Trinitarian Tower are the mandatory points on the historical map of the city. Check out our propositions.

Lublin Castle

The castle has a Romanesque defensive tower, called the "donjon". At the top of the tower there’s an observation deck, from which there is a magnificent panorama of the Old Town and the surrounding area.
Castle buildings are the residence of Lublin Museum, whose collection has been collected in several sections, including archaeological, numismatic, military and ethnographic. The painting gallery presents Jan Matejko's famous painting ‘Union of Lublin’, as well as other valuable paintings by Polish and foreign artists. In the Castle there’s a famous Chapel of the Holy Trinity with beautiful Byzantine paintings.

The Old Town

Among others we can find here the Cracow Gate, which houses the Museum of the History of the City of Lublin and the Grodzka Gate, in which the Grodzka Gate - NN Theatre Centre is located, where we can admire exhibitions on the everyday life of pre-war Lublin. Another attraction is the market square with numerous historic tenement houses. The Old Town has also a po Farze Square, on which the foundations and model of the St. Michael’s church were reconstructed. From the Square we have a beautiful view at Podwale, Podzamcze and Lublin Castle. The central point of the old town is the Crown Tribunal, which once served as the town hall. The Old Town is the heart of Lublin with a rich gastronomic base and numerous attractions.

The Trinitarian Tower

Inside the Tower, there is an interesting Archdiocesan Museum of Sacred Art, which collects a collection of sacred sculptures, paintings and many other interesting exhibits. At an altitude of 40 meters, there is an observation deck from which you can admire the beautiful city panorama. To get there you have to climb several floors and up to 207 stairs.
The neo-Gothic tower is about 60 meters high, has a four-sided body and an octagonal superstructure topped with a conical roof covered with sheet metal. The tower has two equally designed elevations from the side of the Old Town and the Cathedral Square.

The Lublin Underground Trail

The tourist route running at the Market Square and the tenement houses of the Old Town is almost 300 meters long. The route was created as a result of joining a dozen or so of numerous old-town cellars, whose history dates back to the beginning of the 16th century, which was the time of the greatest splendour of Lublin. While visiting the Lublin Underground Route, we can hear the legends about the town. A highlight of the route is a mobile model showing the history of the Great Fire of Lublin from 1719.

The Open Air Village Museum in Lublin

Strolling around the enchanting grounds of the Open-Air Museum, it is hard to resist the impression that we have moved in time. Among others faithfully reconstructed homesteads, we can find a wooden church and an Orthodox church, or a Koźlak windmill. The exhibition of the open-air museum is divided into seven regional and thematic sectors - Lublin Upland, Roztocze, Powiśle, Podlasie and Polesie Lubelskie, Nadbuże as well as the court and town sector. The museum organizes events related to folk culture, such as Lublin Bread Festival, or Herbal-Honey Kermesse.
