Lublin Old Town Crossroads of Cultures Self Guided Tour

Overview

A magician balanced on a wire above the Old Town. A scorched handprint left by devils retrying a corruption case. A street lamp that has burned around the clock for two decades in memory of a vanished Jewish quarter. This self-guided audio walking tour of Lublin lets you uncover the stories most visitors miss, at your own pace through a mobile app. Wander from Litewski Square through medieval gates to the hilltop Castle, hearing how Polish and Lithuanian nobles forged Europe's largest state, why locals still avoid a chipped stone, and how a Jewish bakery's recipe outlived its bakers. Pause for a cebularz or a selfie or linger at a stop without holding up a group. Over twenty thousand travelers have used our self-guided tours, and this Lublin walking tour comes with a full refund guarantee. If you want depth without being herded between stops, this one is for you.
