General presentation
Lublin
Eastern Polish town, between old town, castle, Jewish memory, universities and access to Lublin countryside.
To understand what Lublin is, you must look at the Old Town side of Lublin, Lublin Castle and Majdanek. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: memory heavy and less served than the major cities. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
