Why Lublin Old Town matters

Lublin's old town is a maze of lanes in pastel colours, with a small market square, a Gothic gateway and a lot of cafés. It is calmer than Kraków's, and you can enjoy the architecture without a crowd. Walk through the Kraków Gate, follow the lanes up the hill and finish with a coffee on the main square.

Talking points

  • The old town is compact and easy to explore on foot.
  • The Kraków Gate is a gateway to the lanes beyond.
