Lublin lies in eastern Poland and has a compact, well-preserved old town on a hill, entered through the Kraków Gate. The castle stands on a neighbouring rise, and the modern city spreads out around them.
The castle's Holy Trinity Chapel holds Ruthenian-Byzantine frescoes inside a Gothic structure, an unusual combination and the city's finest interior. The old town squares and the Lublin Village Open Air Museum are the other draws, and the Majdanek concentration camp memorial on the city's edge is preserved largely intact and is a sobering, essential visit.
The old town is compact and walkable, and buses and trolleybuses cover the wider city. Trains reach Warsaw in around two and a half hours.
Late spring through early autumn is the most pleasant, with long daylight. Winters are cold with snow and short days.
Poland uses the PLN, calling code +48.
Poland uses the złoty rather than the euro, and Polish is the everyday language with English widely spoken by younger people. Cards are accepted almost everywhere.
