City Map

City Introduction

Łódź is one of Poland’s largest cities, and it is a city with an exciting history. The town was known as a small village from the 14th century, and King Władysław II Jagiełło granted it city rights in 1423. However, Łódź was subject to the bishops of the area until the end of the 18th century, after which it became part of Prussia in 1793 and from 1815 a part of the Congress Poland.

However, it was the industrialization of the 19th century that really left its mark on the development and prosperity of Łódź. The industrial growth brought many new inhabitants to the city, which became one of Poland’s largest. It was textile production in particular that brought production to Łódź, and over the years factories were built, which today constitute a characteristic feature of the cityscape.

In Łódź you can visit Manufaktura, a large factory building that was constructed as a weaving mill in the 1870s. Manufaktura is today redeveloped into a shopping and cultural center, where you can enjoy the architecture from the industrial era. In a part of the former factory complex, you can visit the factory museum, which conveys the story of Manufakturas in an interesting way and thus part of Łódź’s industrial history.

Łódź is home to many other sights as well. You should stroll along parts of the approximately 5-kilometer-long main street, Ulica Piotrkowska, where shops and cafes are located side by side. At the southern part of the street is the city’s Neo-Gothic cathedral, which was completed in 1912 with a 104-meter steeple, making the cathedral one of the tallest churches in Poland.

Warsaw, Poland

Warsaw

Warsaw or Warszawa is the capital of Poland and one of Eastern Europe’s great and historic capitals, and not many places like this city have experienced so turbulent times. In recent centuries, Warsaw has undergone several divisions and takeovers of power in Poland, and more recently about 85% of Warsaw was destroyed during World War II.

Time and again, the city has been rebuilt, and today the many beautiful buildings of historic Warsaw stand again in their original and noble exterior. The major investment in new construction in recent decades has provided a further dimension with a great architectural mix where the historical and new meet.

Częstochowa

Częstochowa is a city in southern Poland, located on the Warta River. It is an old town that dates back to the 11th century and is believed to have obtained status as a city in 1356. The town prospered in the 14th century, and the decades around the year 1500 was a booming time as well, since Częstochowa was allowed to charge money to cross the site’s bridge over the Warta. Later, industrialization contributed to great growth in the city.

The town plan of Częstochowa is characterized by the large square, Plac Władysława Biegańskiego, where the town hall and the city museum are located. From here, the wide and long street Aleja Najświętszej Maryi Panny goes both east and west, and it forms the central axis of the city. Near the eastern end of the street is Częstochowa’s old market square, the Rynek, and the city’s neo-Gothic cathedral. To the west, the Jasna Góra Monastery.
