Lublin Old Town & Market Square
Stare Miasto w Lublinie
A well-preserved medieval old town where colourful terraced houses surround a former royal court building, enchanting at night with its lights and open-air café seating.
Lublin’s Old Town is listed as a Polish national historic monument and suffered relatively little damage in the Second World War. It preserves its medieval street layout and colourful Renaissance and Baroque terraced houses. At its heart is the Market Square, where the central Classicist building was once the Crown Tribunal, Poland’s highest appellate court. Around the square are many cafés, restaurants and underground wine cellars, where you can try the local flatbread cebularz. In July the Magicians’ Carnival brings street acrobatics and performances, and it is especially lively under summer evening lights. It is recommended to enter via Kraków Gate, walk through the square to Grodzka Gate and the castle. Allow about 2 hours on foot.
