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.

Lublin is a city of young and creative people. Its academicness is based on the potential of five state universities and four private colleges. Cyclical festivals emphasize the atmosphere of openness, respect for culture, and the need to share a modern approach to tradition. Night of Culture, Open City, Carnaval Sztukmistrzow, Re:Tradition Festival, European Festival of Taste, and the Festival of Tradition and Avant-garde Music „Codes” change the city into a space of artistic activity. Both the residents and the tourists appreciate the offer of numerous museums, contemporary art galleries, theaters, concert halls, and institutions such as the Centre for the Meeting of Cultures, present the achievements of world-famous artists.

Since the XV century until the end of World War II the history of the city was associated with the Jewish community that lived in Lublin. Among the most impressive and important objects on the Jewish Heritage Trail are the Yeshivas Chachmej, the old Jewish cemetery, and the "Grodzka Gate - NN Theatre" that cultivates the memory of this part of the Lublin region’s history. The State Museum at Majdanek connected with the aspect of Holocaust, attracts many groups of tourists, also the ones from Israel. The presence of Jewish nationality was also marked in one of the largest open-air museums in Poland, the Open-Air Village Museum in Lublin, in the part known as a Central European Provincial Town from the 1930s. The museum area is divided into 7 sectors: Lublin Upland, Roztocze, Powiśle, Polesie, Podlasie, Manor Complex, and Provinsial Town. The museum provides collections of wooden and brick architecture as well as ethnographic souvenirs, which date back to the XVII century. The visitors have the opportunity to participate in events presenting the work, culture, customs, and cuisine of people living in the former Lublin region.
