About Lublin
Lublin is the most important cultural center of Eastern Poland. The city was competing for the title of the European Capital of Culture 2016 because it presents an idea of integration, tolerance, and dialogue between cultures of the West and East. The amount of cultural festivals, galleries, theatres, places for artists is very impressive. Lublin is also a very important academic center with two famous universities: Maria Curie-Skłodowska University and John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL). When summer ends, the city becomes filled with students.
Lublin is also known for its Jewish heritage. Before World War II the city used to be a thriving Jewish cultural and academic center, it even used to be called “Jewish Oxford”. As the Hebrew language was widely cultivated in Lublin, it is here that one of the first Hebrew printing houses in Poland was founded in 1578. Lublin is also home to the former headquarters of the famous Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva – one of the biggest Academies of the Sages in the world. The former Jewish district is located at the foothill of Lublin castle and is separated from the Old Town by Grodzka Gate (also known as Jewish gate). Some buildings in this area have remained in their original form to this day. An important place in the Jewish district was Castle Square – there you can see a stone plaque commemorating the layout of the old district.
During the 2-hour tour you will see Lublin's top sights: the Old Town, Lublin Castle with the Chapel of Holy Trinity, Krakow Gate, Trinity Tower (the highest viewing point in Lublin), and more.
Alternatively, you can focus on Jews-related landmarks: Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva, Old Jewish cemetery (its oldest remaining tombstone dates back to 1541), the Jewish Gate, Old Jewish Hospital, location of the Old Synagogue, and more.

A great travel agency
AB Poland worked with me to completely customize my three days in Poland and make the most of my time. They answered all of my questions, made great suggestions and built the perfect itinerary all at reasonable enough prices. Plus, my guides Jacek in Warsaw and Kinga in Krakow were knowledgeable and friendly hosts, making conversation easy. Have nothing bad to say at all. I would highly recommend AB Poland.
