Łódź - in the center of Poland


What is Łódź? It's the third-largest city in Poland! Where is Łódź? It's located in the central part of the country! How do you pronounce it? It's something like "Woodsch". And what on earth should you do there? Discover Poland's past of textile industry and find nice hidden cafés or bars. It's completely different than the beautiful cities Kraków or Poznan. Go there without any expections, just give it a try.

Former factories converted to museums

Robert Schweikert's palace. It's considered to be a great example of a manufacturer's residence.

As in almost every city churches are the most beautiful buildings.
Today's Łódź tries to make the best of its industrial past and seeks to be hip and fancy.
Relax and take a seat in post-industrial Łódź.
Piotrkowska Street...
...and the same Piotrkowska Street! This part of the street is lined with shops, clubs, bars and restaurants.
Street art.
The production of the former Ramisch factory continued right up until 1990. Today: OFF Piotrkowska - a large back yard with independent design companies, numerous cafés and bars.

 Łódź, a poor and abandoned city? Well, it's a developing city with a huge potential. In this area the city is very much alive, you can feel the past, the present and the future.
