Picturesquely located on the both banks of the Vistula River, at a site
of intersection of ancient trade routes, it has been propagating its
traditional economy and openness to the world for nearly 800 years. The
gothic buildings of Torun's Old Town, which won the designation of
World Heritage Site from UNESCO in 1997, present proof of Torun's
centuries-old economic, cultural and intellectual ties with the leading
cities of Europe associated in the Hanseatic League. |

 Lodz is a remarkable city- worth stopping here for a weekend
to plunge in its unique atmosphere to know its unusual history and to
experience an unforgettable adventure. For many years Lodz
functioned in the collective imagination as a city of factories and
grey everyday life. Few people noticed its architectonic, landscape and
cultural values. Nowadays the situation changed. The tourists are
attracted to the city by beautifully refurbished tenement houses and
manufacturers’ residences – monuments of eclectic and secessionist
architecture, exceptional museums and unique units of 19th century
industrial architecture. A representative street of the city -
Piotrkowska St - is one of its greatest attractions. The most important
institutions, bancs, shops and countless restaurants, pubs,
discotheques, clubs, but also antique shops, art galleries, cinemas and
other cultural institutions are all placed here. |
