A few words on Lublin
Where Poland and Lithuania became one, on a hot July.
In 1569, the Sejm met in Lublin and created the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest and most unusual political experiments in European history: a multi-ethnic, multi-confessional republic stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea. The Union of Lublin was signed here, and the city never let go of that sense of significance. The Lublin Castle, with its fourteenth-century keep and its Chapel of the Holy Trinity covered in Byzantine-inflected frescoes from 1418, stands as the clearest evidence of what this corner of Europe once was.
Before the Second World War, Lublin was known as the 'Jewish Oxford' for the reputation of its yeshiva, which drew students from across eastern Europe.
The Nazis built Majdanek on the city's outskirts, and it was liberated in July 1944 while it was still operating. That history presses on the old town without overwhelming it. The Old Town itself is genuinely beautiful, with a medieval street pattern, the Renaissance Crown Tribunal building from 1578, and the Krakow Gate forming the entrance. Comparisons to Krakow are made and they are fair, though Lublin tends to be less polished and more alive for it.

Lublin FAQ
Before you walk.
Regular express trains connect Warsaw and Lublin in about two hours. The bus is slightly cheaper and takes a similar time. From Lublin bus and train stations, the old town is a short taxi ride or a twenty-minute walk. The city does not have a metro, but local buses and taxis are reliable.
Lublin is safe for walking around with headphones, including in the evening. The old town area and the streets around the university are well-lit and populated throughout the evening. Standard city caution applies near the main bus station after dark.
Try pierogis at one of the old town restaurants, particularly the curd cheese and potato version that is a Polish staple. The old town square has outdoor seating in summer from which you can eat zurek (sour rye soup) or bigos (hunter's stew) while watching the street life. Lublin has a growing cafe scene in the streets behind Krakow Gate.
The historic centre has uneven cobblestones and some steep sections near the castle, which makes it challenging for wheelchairs and pushchairs. The main pedestrian street through the old town is manageable but not smooth. The Krakow Gate area and the main market square are easier to navigate on foot.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
