    Lublin has been named the European Capital of Culture for 2029! This unique award signifies a host of interesting initiatives, projects, and cultural events, as well as extraordinary promotion of the city on the international stage.

The city was founded in the XVI century by Crown Hetman Jan Zamoyski. Designed by an eminent Italian architect Bernardo Morando, the city-fortress was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992 as an architectural and urban complex.

Kazimierz Dolny is a favorite place of the painters, photographers, and filmmakers. It owes its fame to the great harmony of the landscape, combining the nature of the Lesser Poland Gorge of the Vistula River with wonderful architecture. The castle and a stone tower, that once guarded the Vistula crossing, come from the period of the foundation of the city by Casimir the Great. The greatest development of trade took place in the 16th and 17th centuries. During this period, the city was expanded in the Renaissance style, the Parish church and the church of St. Anne were erected, as well as the tenement houses of the Przybyła and Celej families, and numerous granaries. By the Vistula river there is a port and a walking boulevard. The Kazimierz Landscape Park surrounds the town. It is a perfect place for walking the paths leading through loess gorges and high slopes with viewpoints over the panorama of the Vistula river.

Lublin is one of the most attractive cities in Poland, awarded with the Polish Tourist Brand title. Original in over 70% architecture of the Old Town attracts the visitors from all over the world. Lublin Old Town with its well-preserved, mainly Renaissance buildings with traces of Gothic, Baroque, and Classicism, was honoured with the title of Historic Monument along with the Castle Hill and part of the city centre. The city's multicultural, over 700-year history is confirmed by numerous monuments. Among the most valuable ones is the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, with the walls covered with 15th-century Russo-Byzantine paintings. This amazing place, just like the walls of the Dominican Basilica, remembers the conclusion of the Polish-Lithuanian Union in 1569. The aforementioned objects have been honoured the European Heritage Label.

The Zamoyski Museum in Kozłówka is one of the most beautiful and popular Polish palace museums, located in the vicinity of the Kozłowiecki Landscape Park. The museum is housed in a palace and park complex, which was founded in the first half of the 18th century, and rebuilt at the turn of the 19th and 20th century by Count Konstanty Zamoyski. The interiors in the style of the Second Empire have been perfectly preserved.

Picturesquely located by the Uherka River near the Ukrainian border, Chełm is famous for the unique in Europe chalk tunnels. The labyrinth of corridors winding under the city was the result of chalk excavation from the XVI to the early XX century. The underground route has been made available to visitors, and became a unique tourist attraction and permanent place of residence of Bieluch the Ghost.

Biała Podlaska was once a property of the Radziwiłł family, associated primarily with the magnificent castle complex from the XVII-XVIII century and the valley of the Krzna River, a picturesque tributary of the Bug River.

Visitors will be interested in the Museum of Southern Podlasie, presenting the collection of Bazyli Albiczuk's works and one of the largest collections of Russian icons from the XVII and XIX centuries in Poland. The capital of the Southern Podlasie is a great place for those seeking architectural monuments and those interested in history. The most interesting are:
