Five reasons to visit Łódź
Always on the way! Łódź is located in the centre of Poland, by the crossing of two major highways - A1 and A2. Well developed transport network makes it easily accessible by road, railroad or air.
There's much going on! Łódź is the third biggest city in Poland (by population), where the calendar is full of cultural, trade and sport events.
As prestigious as ... NYC! Łódź can be called a stepsister of New York City, as they have much in common. Both cities experienced their fastest growth in the 19th century (population increased several hundred times!). Both have grid street plans in their centres. They use post-industrial interiors as apartments (lofts), art studios, galleries, etc. They are excellent film settings - about 250 films have been shot in Łódź.
Łódź creates! Recent city's slogan gives an evidence that the city has a head full of ideas - it feels alive and creates: design, fashion, architecture, cinema...
Polish capital of clubbing! Countless pubs and clubs, where you can have a great time until dawn.
