Museum
Lublin Castle, situated in the heart of Lublin, Poland, is a 12th-century fortress-turned-museum that offers a captivating experience for visitors. Initially founded as a wooden structure by High Duke Casimir II the Just, it was later fortified with stone walls and a circular keep. The castle's rich history includes serving as a royal residence, prison, and military fortress.
Visiting Zamek w Lublinie was an unforgettable experience that beautifully combined rich history, unique architecture, and a profound sense of cultural heritage. The building itself is visually striking—its elegant neo-Gothic façade, complete with turrets and arched windows, makes it one of the most iconic landmarks in Lublin. The castle's light-colored exterior and symmetrical structure create an inviting yet majestic atmosphere that draws you in from the moment you arrive.
Inside, the castle houses the Lublin Museum, which showcases a wide range of exhibits reflecting the region’s historical and artistic legacy. One of the most fascinating aspects of this site is its layered history: originally established as a stronghold in the Middle Ages, it has served various roles over centuries—including a royal residence, prison, and now a cultural institution.
What adds even more depth to the visit is the outdoor information board, which clearly explains the significance of the Castle Hill, the Union of Lublin, and the architectural transformations the site has undergone. It also outlines various cultural trails that pass through this location, making it an excellent starting point for exploring the broader historical context of Lublin.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city—whether you're a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or simply looking for a meaningful stop in Lublin.

Excellent exhibitions, including history related to living in Lublin area throughout the centuries, big numismatic collection, and very interesting temporary art exhibition dedicated to women's art from 1850 - 1950 plus exhibition of art of Tamara Lempicka. Highly recommended.
Make sure to download the "Muzeum Narodowego w Lublinie" app and inside the app a 300MB audio guide (if you download it at the Castle it will take up to an hour to finish). Otherwise the visit will feel a bit wasted.
So far the least interesting castle in Poland. Half of the space is dedicated to paintings and the castle itself looks to be rebuilt and lacks it's medieval feel.
Beautiful castle with artefacts, paintings. Provides a great history of Lublin 300 - 500BC and how people lived. There was a beaitiful chapel with inages forom 600 years ago and two art exhibitions.
I’d give this place a 5/5 if I weren’t comparing it with Wawel or Prague’s castle. For 40zl, you get access to all of the permanent collections, the keep, and BEST of all, the incredible chapel. I came for this spot specifically, which honestly blew me away. A gorgeous and truly impressive example of Byzantine-Ruthenian artwork, dating back to the 15th century. I could spend hours in there. I’d love to come back for a detailed tour. I also greatly enjoyed the small exhibit of Russian icons, which were wonderfully displayed.
Worth visiting the tower. Go to the very top for scenic views of city.
The castle has turned into a very good, rather big museum. So take your time and don't hurry. Expect to be approx 2 hours in the museum. And yes, buy also the ticket for the chapel (one the highlights in Lublin), that is UNESCO list!
Different rooms/ galleries with different styles. Galleries with Lublin area history, icons, highlights of Polish painters, coins.
Super interesting.
Well conserved.
Peace of history.

The Lublin Village Open Air Museum is an attractive and environmentally significant attraction in Poland that offers insights into the history and culture of rural villages from past eras. The lush grounds feature beautiful wooden structures that represent old Poland, providing visitors with a glimpse into traditional village life. There is an entrance fee, but it's reasonably priced considering the knowledge one can gain.
Amazing place to spend a day in Lublin! The territory is rather big, so it's definitely one day advature. A lot of animals, nice to watching them, they look healthy and happy😊 Great exposition of houses and village life. As well it was interesting to see restored old workshops, shops, a restaurant and a dental office from the beginning of the last century

Really enjoyed our visit here. For a small fee you can experience a recreation of a heritage village showing what home steads in Poland used to look like. There is lots of information here and it's a very pleasant way to spend a few hours or more outside. There is plenty of space so you could picnic here also as it's essentially like being in a large park. There was a bar / restaurant towards the end where we stopped for a beer.
A beautiful peaceful place for young and old alike. (Although a few small inclines). Some exhibitions/ souvenir shop close 15-30 minutes before the site closes. Worthy of a few hours to a full day. See old rural Poland in its glory and enjoy it at a leisurely pace. Parking may be a challenge at busy times. Sufficient toilets and restaurant. Would definitely and robably will go back again.
I came here hoping to learn more about my great grandmother who was originally from Kluczkowice. Seeing how houses were built and upheld around the time of her departure to the US in 1913 was very powerful. I felt alive and at home here. I enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds.
A fantastic location, with a good look into the history of Farm life in Poland some 3 or 4 hundred years ago. Very interesting for kids and adults alike. Highly recomended for a whole day out. You can feed the fish down at the lake. There are sheep, goats and a cow. As well as horses
There is a kids petting area. There is also a Cafe and some local honey selling.
Lublin Village Open Air Museum is a very nice open-air museum, not so far from the centre of Lublin. On the huge area are located numerous gorgeous buildings from the Lublin Voivodeship surrounded by trees, bushes and other greenery. Between the old architecture are places in which traditional breeds of domesticated animals are kept or roam freely. This open-air museum allowed visitors of different ages not only to experience various aspects of the regional folk culture but also to learn interesting facts concerning the recent past. It also allows visitors to rest actively and to relax in the green places.
Quite unusual place. Most buildings were from around 1930s original, moved here. They have a history of families living in them attached. It is a quiet place, very good to chill and slow pace enjoying.
Fantastic place to visit where you could find the village life style few hundred years ago. I highly recommend to visit this once

Cultural center
Concerts & Shows
Grodzka Gate - NN Theatre, a pale yellow gate along the way from Rynek to Lublin Castle, holds significant historical and cultural importance. Once marking the entrance to Lublin's Jewish quarter, it has been transformed into a cultural center showcasing the city's Polish-Jewish heritage. The 'Memory of the Place' exhibition at its core evokes memories of Lublin's Jewish quarter that was tragically destroyed during the Holocaust.
I did the guided tour of the gate and it was great! I felt like I got to know Lublin and its history better by doing this tour than by walking it.
Definitely recommended.

We had a superb tour of the Jewish memorial archives. Very intimate with 5 of us on the English tour at 12pm. The guide was superb and tailored the tour to meet everyone's needs. The tour took almost 2 hours but the time flew by!
Incredible theater and museum serving as a continuing and historic gateway between past and present, Jewish and Polish. Performances based partly on the vital work being accomplished by the cultural center, which is slowly recovering information on the thousands of Jews who once made Lublin the powerful regional and European community it was - and, differently composed, remains. Part museum, part theater, part school, part archive. An important way to learn and honor the city’s traditions and tragedies. A must see experience. Contemporary exhibits in thoughtfully planned layout. Living history.
One of those places that I hope lives on forever. Theater, museum, research center and archive, this place has it all! The way they present the history of the Jewish story in Lublin is unlike any other place I've seen. Take the tour and allow time to go back and view all the pictures and exhibitions. You won't regret it.
An incredibly interesting place in Lublin where you can learn a lot about the Jewish history of the city and its inhabitants. There is a very interesting exhibition and lots of archive material - you could really call it an archive of memories and stories.
It's really great to see that the people there are so committed to the history and culture of the city. The publications are also highly recommended.
There are guided tours on various topics (also in English), which we highly recommend.
We took part in a guided tour on the Jewish history of the city with Katarzyna and it was a great experience, she was very friendly and we learned a lot!
An absolute recommendation if you come to Lublin!
Great!
The Jewish Gate, be sure to visit the theater/exhibition on the Jewish population, it's the best I've experienced in Lublin
incredible beautiful place, so much content its amazing

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
St. John the Baptist Cathedral, Lublin, was established in the latter half of the 16th century and boasts a baroque inner decor adorned with frescoes.
The most famous cathedral in Lublin) It is located in the centre if the city. Its design attracts visually and is impossible to ignore. The typical Baroque building attracts attention to the column and the tower. The church looks majestic inside. It has a rich artistic interior decoration which seems to be too pompous. There are some old relics and paintings of famous artists of the 17-18th centuries. It is a must visit place for tourists!

Very typical church structure and beautiful church. It has very big area and inside the church is adorable. Very high building and we can see all around the old city from top of the building. Inside the church is Very calm and peaceful. we can have mind relax by sitting inside the church. It is open for people who need to go inside and pray. There are many beautiful paintings inside the church and it is reflects traditional paintings.
Spectacular cathedral, one of the most amazing in Poland and a great example of Baroque style. The frescoes are very interesting as well, it all looks very new and well maintained
Even at noon on a regular week day there are dozens of faithful coming here
Very beautiful and outstanding. Worth to visit and spend some time
Private parking . A city app does not apply here . Have a great time
Beautiful, but by reading the information boards you can feel you are not welcome there if you are in a cohabitation relationship. For all of you not participating in religion classes at school, don't even think to ask for confirmation or a wedding there. Building very well renovated. To be honest a but too much, especially when you leave the building to look around at all of falling apart blocks of flats, detached houses that seem to be occupied. Visas, American Express, and MasterCard accepted for donations. Plus for accepting donations for the good purpose. The payment terminal has an option in English also. The mass is broadcast online.
Nice historical church.
Colorful catholic cathedral similar to many in poland. Still breathing of depths of ceiling height.

Beautiful park, comfortable place for walking.
Nice quiet place to rest in the center.
Quite a popular park in the central part of Lublin. It has a small fountain, a playground, a stage for different performances and a cafe for peacocks. You can also see peacocks wandering around. At the main entrance you can also get some ice cream in summer time. The park has many benches, but because of the birds it’s not possible to use quite a few of them :) For unknown reasons the paths in the park can switch from cobblestone to asphalt or dirt road. You can be walking one way and the asphalt will suddenly stop and you’ll end up on small gravel path… All in all many people come here to spend some time
The young peacocks are already walking around the runway. So much fun. The Bosco ice cream has lost its flavor, which is a shame.
Really nice and spacious playground for kids, with variety of equipment! There are also peacock that are sometimes aloud to walk freely under eye of the carer. Amazing place to chill with kiddies near the city centre
Tranquil park with lots of nice features including ponds, bridges and peacocks. Well worth a wander.
Lovely Central Park next to the Lublin old city and opera. Shallow hills, shady trees, scenic stations like bridges and full of bridges. Birdsongs. Playground at center full of novel challenges. Fun for the family, or bring a book alone.

Jewish restaurant
Mandragora Jewish restaurant is a charming two-level townhouse restaurant located in the heart of Lublin's old town. The cozy venue offers a terrace and traditional Jewish decor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu features a variety of Ashkenazi kosher dishes, including fish, soups, meat dishes, and desserts.
Tucked away in the heart of Lublin’s Old Town, Mandragora Żydowska Restauracja feels like stepping into a warm, intimate corner of history. The delicate lace tablecloths, antique-style furniture, and soft lighting create a sense of being welcomed into someone’s home rather than a restaurant.
What makes this place truly special is how it blends atmosphere with meaning. As you sit surrounded by books like The Lost World of Polish Jews and guides to Jewish landmarks, it becomes clear that this isn’t just a culinary experience—it’s also a quiet tribute to a culture once so vibrant in this city. The ambiance invites reflection, while the flavors bring comfort.
The dishes are rich and full of character—from the creamy, traditional beef in horseradish sauce to the beautifully roasted meat with orange glaze and aromatic herbs. Each plate is presented with care, accompanied by fresh bread or perfectly matched garnishes. Paired with a glass of white wine, the meal becomes a slow, soulful journey.
Mandragora is more than just food; it’s storytelling through cuisine. It allows you to taste the legacy of Jewish life in Poland, not as a museum piece, but as something living, warm, and heartfelt. A rare and beautiful experience that lingers far beyond the final bite.

Their food was excellent and portions were big. Excellent value for money. We took the duck, dumplings, liver, and a selection of starters. Enjoyed every minute. The garden is lovely and the inside has a nice historical vibe.
An overall amazing experience. A Lublin local in Warsaw told me that if I ever saw a Jewish restaurant in Lublin that I must eat there and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and reminded me of Kosher restaurants in the USA. I am glad that what we have in the US is authentic. The service was so good and attentive. I felt like I was in a flashback eating here. Definitely recommend.
We’ve had a great early dinner with starters mains and quite a drinks. The service and food were delicious. Highly recommend!
This is a restaurant that gave me two new experiences. First, it allowed me to experience goose food for the first time. Second, I ordered a cold drink for the first time, but it allowed me to experience a lukewarm drink without ice. When you order, be sure to ask if there is ice in the cold drink.
The food was amazing!✨️ We ordered: salt beef (fantastic! you have to ordet it if you're here), fried liver with button mushrooms in wine and honey (if you like liver you'll love this), carp fillet made seasoned with Israeli mix of herbs (carp has a specific taste so it may not be 100% for everyone but if you like it you'll like this one), tartar (amazing, very fresh) and lastly grilled chicken breast with potatoes and salad (10/10). The vibe is amazing, the place is very pleasant and they also sell delicious bread there you can take home. If you are in Lublin and you're looking for a place yo eat go there wou won't be diasspointed🫶🏻✨️
Great restaurant, not only for the food but also we learned quite a lot about jewish culture thanks to the menu and the little notes there. Felt very authentic and welcoming.
Food was super good and the atmosphere especially in the courtyard was so cosy. We had dinner there and I think spent almost 2 hours.
The service was attentive at first, but eventually became more random (eg they forgot our dessert and didn’t come to offer new drinks when old ones were finished).
Disappointing experience.
Lower lvl was loud from distorted concert upstairs only alternative was a outside/patio.
Crepes with haring appetizer were excellent except for being oversalted.
Latte was about 45 degree Celsius.
Duck dish had many flaws main one everything lacking salt which was especially bad combined with sweet flavors everything also lacked complexity, luckily there were a few unplucked thyme stems for decoration.
Worth exploring if you have the money and thyme (I'm Funny) but I wouldn't recommend if you want to be confident you will get a good meal.

Bar & grill
Munchies Lublin is a unique establishment that offers fast food with an uncompromising focus on quality. This vibrant spot, founded by a group of avid travelers who wanted to share their experiences, was born out of their dissatisfaction with high-end dining. Munchies specializes in street food-inspired dishes, providing guests with a diverse and flavorful menu. Despite its limited selection, each item is exceptionally tasty as they are prepared using slow-food techniques but served quickly.
I have never been to the restaurant but I have ordered delivery.
The food is actually great for cravings and very tasty.
The burgers and Fries are Good
But the Korean Chicken… WOW! The best in Lublin.. I am from Asia and have been missing this Asian Taste 💕
The food is just amazing ! Definitely recommend ❤️
Emilyn T — Google review
Pretty good.
I had the honey chicken sandwich. It was messy, but quite tasty. They make their own buns in house.
Fries were nothing to write home about.
Very well seasoned pulled pork accompanied by the super soft brioche, toasted with a little bit of butter, fresh veggies ( + super crunchy reddish slices ) and unique sauce. Super tasty! For the drink, I took a grapefruit match - refreshing! And with the great food, this place has an excellent staff! If you are visiting Lublin, I highly recommend this place! Enjoy!
Absolute must-try! The Korean Fried Chicken and Loaded Fries here are incredible— flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. The service is super friendly. We had a lovely lunch here. It’s the kind of place where you leave already planning your next visit.
Top 3 smash burger of all time. Best fries I’ve ever had so crunchy. Wings immaculate, do not miss this place in Lublin
Food very tasty had the vegan burger as well as the chicken udon. However from ordering till getting food took 30 minutes while there was no one else in th3 restaurant other than uber drivers collecting deliveries. Friend ordered ten minutes after me and also waited 35 minutes for a beef burger. When staff was asked about the wait was rudely told that there was other orders being made whilst no one else was in the restaurant sitting down.
I could have slaughtered the cow. Made the fire myself, fried it and grown the vegetables myself before the waitress got off of her phone to tell the cook i ordered.
I got a poutine pulled pork which was decent but expensive, as was the lemonade I bought too. The poutine was surprisingly not hot, it was just warm, there was a distinct lack of gravy and perhaps it was too busy with the tomatoes. If I was ever in Lublin again I'd probably give them another try just because their online pics look so much better than what I tasted. Also, some outdoor tables would've been a nice option but alas.
Great place with awesome and peaceful atmosphere, with the best street food/slow food under the sun.

Can’t recommend more! Everything we ordered is tasty, fresh and not too salty. Penne is well cooked, sernik recommend by the waiter is really nice, I guess one of the best in Lublin. Oh plus waiter is so nice, polite and always wearing charming smile on his face.

Very good! We (3p) stayed in the nearby hotel, went for one night to Giuseppe and ordered a pizza and all three tiramisu. The pizza: very good! Rather thin, as it should be. Plenty tomatosauce and enough ingrediënts. So definitely better then some pizzarias around rynek area. Tiramisu was homemade, right balance between mascarpone and biscuits.
The place: when you enter it doesn't look big. But behind the bar there is a bigger area to sit.
Good coffee and delicious dishes and desserts great polite service
Awesome ppl serving awesome food. Can’t recommend more when you are in Lublin. 🙂
Nice little place - doesn't look like much from the outside. Nice staff and all pasta and spaghetti is homemade and very tasty!.. Had tiramisu for dessert, good 😊... Limited wine-offer, but still a good little place. Will be back 👍🏻
A trattoria-style place. Nothing fancy but reliable. I have special dietary requirements and they were very flexible with the menu, the service was very attentive and helpful. I sat in the patio and it is not an amazing interior design but nothing uncomfortable. I would still recommend.
A fabulous traditional Italian Restaurant tucked away on a side street just minutes from Lublin's central Plaza. Great food, very reasonably priced and with a lovely ambience. Excellent service from the attentive and polite Vittoria. Will definitely be back again.
I love the inside design it's so cozy. The first time I've been to, there was rain outside and it was the perfect moment to sit somewhere and sip coffee from your mug. And the waitresses/waiters were so kind, eventhough some of them don't know English, they try their best to get me understand the menu. Thank you for that I appreciate it! I highly recommend the "beza", loved it..

"Miedzy Slowami" is a hidden gem in Lublin, tucked away on a side street near the main Old Town Square. This cozy cafe offers a good selection of coffees, teas, and delicious desserts. What sets it apart is the presence of a bookstore within the cafe, making it a unique spot to enjoy some quiet time with a book and aromatic tea or indulge in tasty treats like apple pie.
Między Słowami (Between the Words) is a cozy gem with an atmosphere that captivates from the moment you step inside. The delightful scent of books fills the air, creating the perfect backdrop for a relaxing coffee break.
The chocolate and coffee were absolutely delicious, and the cake of the day added just the right touch of sweetness. The staff was incredibly friendly, enhancing the experience even more.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, bookish escape!

I took double hot chocolate... Yummy 😋
Fantastic place was recommended to me in the tourist centre. Original coffee recipes very well crafted by a lovely barista. It’s not the cheapest coffee in Lublin.
Such a cozy & welcoming atmosphere! They have English menus & are very accommodating. Sadly, didn’t get to order anything but word on the street is that their hot chocolate is great.
Seems like the perfect place to study & read.
The perfect cafe for book lovers. They have so many varieties of tea, delicious desserts, and all the books you could possibly want. Plus the atmosphere lends itself to study during the day.
Very nice atmosphere, especially for a date night. The food was delicious. I recommend the Ukranian Borscht, then Duck Dish and leave room for their delicious deserts. Waiter is very helpful with recommendations as well.
Very nice place with unique atmosphere and coffee.
While looking for cafes in Lublin, I came across this one and I liked the idea of offering free to read books to their customers.
Their cappuccino was more like a latte, but it came with a nice cinnamon flavour.
The place was really cozy and the staff very friendly.

Restauracja Lublin Kardamon is a stylish and elegant eatery located in the heart of the city, inside a historic tenement building. The restaurant boasts a unique interior design with warm, chocolatey tones dominating the main hall and intimate booths as well as a VIP room for private gatherings. It's known for its traditional Polish cuisine and excellent customer service.
What a great little place across from the Grand Lublin Hotel. Tastefully decorated with proper flatware and linen this is a warm and inviting space. Our server Daria is a real darling and knowledgeable about the food and wine on offer. After some so so meals in Zamosc we were very happy sit down to a couple of back to back lunches that really made our stay in Lublin special. The perch ( sandaz) was pefectly cooked, the duck pirogi delicious and the venison lovely..The roast duck I had on our second lunch was a BIG portion of bird that ate beautifully with the nice Primitivo Daria suggested. Sadly my wife thought that the catfish wasn't as nice as the perch: a bit over sauced and lacking the nice skin crunch of the sandaz she enjoyed so much the day before... If you want to splurge order a bottle of the La Trucha albariño for something really special: Especially on a hot summers day...... For dessert the raspberry tiramisu was out of this world: The best we have ever eaten... we thought much better than the traditional chocolate standard..... We will certainly be back the next tie we are in town and highly recommend !

Once, it was great, but recently we were very disappointed. This is a 'medium' steak for 110 PLN, and it was like a rock. We also received dirty glasses, and when we asked for a replacement, the wine we paid for never came back to us. We weren’t even given a chance to taste the wine before it was poured for everyone. The dish that was supposed to come with asparagus had broccoli instead, and the dish that should have had broccoli came with sugar snap peas—nobody informed us or asked about these changes. People sometimes have allergies; you can't just switch things without mentioning it. The only vegan option on the menu was unavailable, and no substitute was offered. The tiramisu was very poor. We were the only people in the restaurant, and it felt like no one cared at all, despite it being Saturday evening.
Really a big disappointment. The restaurant “Kardamon” wants to brand themselves as fine dining place. Unfortunately it’s quite far from that aim. Water is served in the cheapest IKEA jug. Food is mediocre. The menu available on the website is different from the one presented to the guests in the restaurant. Is the update of the website so hard and time consuming? Really? Further, the cauliflower steak was over salted and mediocre. Definitely not worth the price. The tagliatelle with mashroom sauce did not include any fresh mashrooms. The mashrooms used came from a jar. Quite a low quality for a place wanting to present themselves as sophisticated. Unfortunately the pork tenderloin was served with green beans instead of asparagus as noted in the menu. We’re in the middle of the asparagus season now. So why? Why would you make such a substitution now?
However, something that was the cherry on the top of this disappointing visit was shattered glass on the table cloth. That’s dangerous and irresponsible. If something was broken earlier on this table cloth, it should be taken away and replaced.
Tiramisu had no taste of coffee. It was served in a lovely way though.
Another thing is the tap in the bathroom. It could use a replacement.
Great potential wasted.
Very nice place in the centre of Lublin. We were lucky to get a table without reservation. Friendly stuff, perfect meal. Hot sea food soup was just excellent. Unfortunately, wine cart was too short and also they didn't have xo cognac. Otherwise, highly recommended
Probably the best place in Lublin so far 👍🏻😊... VERY friendly staff and the highest service-levels (taking coat, pouring wine etc.).. excellent english. Very extensive wine-card with quite a bit to choose from. We were offered different wine tastings before choosing. Had VERY good carpaccio as a starter. Tenderloin as main course, also good. Cheesecake for dessert 👍🏻
Beautiful atmosphere and place. You probably need to reserve a table 😊
Nice cosy place, within walking distance from old town.
Price is very correct, food very decent and service was very good.
The only bottle of wine I ordered was not available. The one which was available was good enough. Good call.
Cons: why the hell chefs need to put truffle everywhere? The beef carpaccio was tasting...truffle. the mash potatoes was tasting...truffle.
My wife had a dish which was too pepper according her, despite her putting too much pepper usually.
Tasty food, a bit expensive for Lublin but served well and portions are decent (as opposed to other reviews).
I booked to place to have a nice dinner with my wife and my mother. First of all they were not able to find our reservation ( reservation was made over Google and got a confirmation SMS an hour earlier) and ask us to sit at a separate room with a huge table for 10 people sitting set up. Moreover I assume that the room we sat was not being used for a while since there was dirt on the floor and spider nets were hanging. The most disturbing point was that there were pieces of broken glass on the table. When I informed the waitress/host she nodded her head and even did not apologize the issue. I found the food mediocre. I really hope them to fix all these points.
