Discover Lublin - What to see and do

Situated in eastern Poland, in the south-east of Warsaw and in the north-east of Kraków, Lublin became an important administrative center in the 16th century. Because of its strategic location in Poland and between Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and Russia, the Union of Lublin was signed there in the Middle Ages, linking Lithuania and Poland in a single Commonwealth during centuries. The city has always been a melting pot of different nationalities and cultures and emerged to a touristic destination in recent years. The old town is very picturesque and definitely worth a visit. Don’t forget to stop by the medieval castle. It was built in the 14th century, restored in 1954 and contains the Lublin Museum. Lublin also has an active culture life with festivals, theaters, cinemas and galleries.
