Driving routes, distances and day-trip ideas nearby.
A ready week, day by day: highly rated places, lunches, tours and trips out of town. Ratings and opening hours come from Tripadvisor, distances are real driving distances.
An unhurried first day: the centre on foot, one landmark and a quiet dinner near where you're staying. Don't plan anything far — after travelling, getting your bearings matters more.
All day
A free day — the market, the waterfront, the next neighbourhood over.
Hotel check-in is usually from 2pm — if you arrive earlier, most places will store your luggage.
The fullest day: two or three key places back to back. Start early — queues build by midday at the popular ones, and the light is better for photographs after lunch.

Carry some cash for markets and small cafés — cards are not taken everywhere.

Great hotel!
I was really pleased with my two-night stay here. I’d previously been to the PURO hotel in Kraków, and wondered if the equivalent in Łódź would be as impressive. It was. The hotel is very modern and makes good use of technology, with a tablet in each room controlling lighting, cleaning/do not disturb, check-out and so…
Horrible
Strange place to be when there are ecological hotel not even close to ecology. The parking lots overcrowded and the workers were extremely rude
