PUBLIC TRANSPORT

How to travel around Lublin? The main means of transport are busses and trolleybusses. It's worth to mention, that Lublin is one of three cities in Poland when we can travel those "trackless trams". An up-to-date schedule you can find on www.ztm.lublin.eu, and www.jakdojade.pl will help you to plan your journey.

On the day of the matches they have the tickets to, the fans can use the Lublin public transport to the stadium and back for free. On the match days there will be a dedicated "Arena" bus line going to the stadium. Apart from that, reaching the stadium with regular lines will also be possible (bus lines nr: 1, 13, 30, 34, 45; and trolleybusses nr: 152, 154, 161).

If you prefer bikes, there is Lubelski Rower Miejski (Lublin City Bike System) - if you use it, a mobile app Nextbike will certainly be helpful.

SIGHTSEEING

There's so much to see in Lublin! First and foremost, visit the Holy Trinity Chapel, inside you will find the russo-byzantine polychromes founded by our former king, Władysław Jagiełło. Have a stroll around the Old Town (maybe you would like to use our audioguides?). Climb on top of the Trinitarian Tower, which is the highest of the view points in Lublin. If you want, you can visit the Lublin Underground Trail and go through the old town cellars. The Botanical Garden, Zemborzycki Reservoir or the Open-Air Village Museum in Lublin are places gladly chosen by the tourists and the citizens who wish to take a break from the usual city noise. An important place on the map of Lublin is the State Museum at Majdanek.  You will realize that there are more places worth visiting!

 

 

EVENTS

There's much more to life than football! Lublin offers plenty of cultural events. Those looking for travel inspirations should visit the X Lublin Tourist Fair that will take place between 24 and 26 of May at the Market Square. On the first Saturday of June we recommend the Night of Culture - it's one of the most recognizable events in Lublin. Every year there are many artistic installations prepared specifically for this night. Cultural institutions open their doors and a rich program will ensure everyone will find something for themselves. On 8-9 of June it's worth to take a trip to nearby Świdnik, where Świdnik Air Festiwal will take place for the second time - the event will surely attract the fans of sky-high acrobatics.

 

 

LUBLIN CUISINE

The most famous Lublin snack is cebularz. It's a round-shaped flatbread seasoned with onion and poppy seeds. Before war it was baked by the Lublin Jews. You can buy it in almost every grocery store. We recommend trying those from local bakeries, for example the Kuźmiuk bakery that's been here for years. Lublin region is famous for good quality hop, which is an essential ingreedient of a good beer. The most popular brand here is Perła, but in the Old Town and in the nearest area you will find more kinds. Who's more hungry than thirsty, should try local treats: Lublin forszmak - a kind of thick soup, great pierogi - served in many Lublin restaurants, Lublin schabowy (pork cutlet), or groats dishes, such as piróg biłgorajski.
