Why study in the Lublin?

Students should think about more than the curriculum and the size of their dorms when visiting a country for education. Things like social life, economy, and the country's standard of living must be considered for a fruitful development of their personality.

Lublin is a major city in Eastern Poland, as well as the Lubelskie District. It is known as the "gate to the East" and is a significant educational and science hub as the largest city east of the Vistula River and just 100 miles from Poland's capital. Visit the official Lublin travel portal for more details.

Since the 14th century, the city's famed Kraków Gate has stood, and the gate clock has stood since the 16th century. Every day at noon, a trumpeter performs here. A small museum dedicated to the city's heritage is also located here.

To get to the Old Town, go through the Krakow Entrance. With its cobblestoned narrow avenues, traditional-style architecture, and Renaissance burgher buildings, Lublin's Old Town is full of character. It is dripping with tradition and personality. In fact, this neighborhood is known as "Little Krakow." There are over 100 old mansions and other structures to admire. The underground tourist trail, which tours old wine cellars and shops basements from different points in the city's history to give you a more intimate glimpse at the past and present forms of life in Lublin, offers a unique viewpoint.

The Old Town also contains the Lublin Cathedral and the Trinity Tower. The Cathedral is built in the baroque style and is well-known among tourists for its extensive wall paintings. Visitors to the Trinity Tower are provided with spectacular panoramic views of the entire area.

Students make up about a third of the city's population, giving it a trendy feel and a plethora of nightlife options. In a university town, you'll also find all the cultural events you'd suspect. The city of Lublin hosts a variety of festivals during the year. The topics include everything from music and dance to carnival arts, movies, and alternative culture.

It's easy to see why the Neo-Gothic Royal Castle is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. The imposing castle was once a fortress, but it now houses the Lublin Museum, which features an impressive Polish Paintings Gallery as well as a good collection of coins and military objects. The museum is one of the oldest and largest in Eastern Poland. The Holy Trinity Church is also located on the premises. Visitors entering the church would be greeted by Byzantine wall paintings from the early 1400s.

One of Lublin's oldest churches is the Basilica of the Dominican Order of St. Stanislaus the Bishop and Martyr. It was built in 1253 but was restored in 1575 after a fire, so it is still very ancient. And if you aren't religious, the Renaissance-style church has a variety of chapels that are absolutely breathtaking.

The University of Maria Curie-Sklodowska Botanical Garden houses a large flora collection. There are over 1500 tree species, 800 vegetable varieties, and over 6500 plant varieties in total. There are also several fascinating themed sections, such as one dedicated to medicinal plants and another to plants found in the Bible. You can rent a boat or skis and enjoy Zemborzycki Lake, which also has a few cafes and restaurants nearby if you want to spend some time outside.

Lublin is not only easy to get to, but also to navigate. It has its own airport, but trains and buses from cities such as Warsaw and Kraków are numerous. The train journey from Lublin to Warsaw takes just 2 1/2 hours. The downtown and Old Town areas are small and easy to reach on foot, but the city's bus and trolley systems are adequate, and there is also a tourist trolley bus that stops at many of the major attractions.
