Lublin, Historical city in eastern Poland
Description
Lublin is a large city in the eastern part of the country, spreading across several gentle hills about 90 miles (140 kilometers) from the capital. The old town sits on elevated ground, while modern neighborhoods, shopping centers and apartment blocks spread into the flatter areas.
History
The city began as a medieval settlement on an old trade route and gained town rights in the early 14th century. In the late 16th century it hosted the signing of an important state treaty that united two large realms.
Culture
The market square forms the center of daily life, where cafés and shops sit between buildings from different centuries. Young people, students and locals meet on benches and terraces, while small workshops and restaurants open their doors in the surrounding lanes.
Practical
The city is an education center with several universities, which shows in the large number of young residents and a lively nightlife to match. Walking from the old core to the modern outskirts takes roughly half an hour on foot.
Did you know?
An old courthouse from the late 16th century combines style elements from several periods under one roof. Visitors can still see original windows and stonework from different times side by side in the inner courtyard.
