Łódź Voivodeship

Łódź Voivodeship is an administrative region in central Poland that stretches between Warsaw to the east and the Greater Poland border to the west. This territory covers landscapes of flat fields, forests, and several mid-sized towns connected by a network of country roads.

During the nineteenth century, this region transformed from a rural area into a textile industry center, with factories growing rapidly and drawing workers from across Europe. Following the fall of communism, the regional economy shifted from heavy industry to services and logistics.

The National Film School in Łódź trains cinema professionals while numerous theaters, museums, and cultural centers maintain the regional artistic heritage throughout the voivodeship.

Travelers can reach the region by train or car from Warsaw in about an hour and a half, with main routes passing through the larger towns. Rural areas require a car, as smaller villages have less frequent public transport connections.

The first film school in Poland opened here and later trained internationally known directors who still work in the city today. Some old factory buildings have been converted into cultural centers where you can find traces of the industrial past alongside modern galleries.
