What to do in Lodz?
Łódź (pronounced “Woodge”) is one of Poland’s most fascinating cities—a gritty, artistic, and reinvented post-industrial hub that defies stereotypes. Once a booming center of textile manufacturing, Łódź has transformed its 19th-century factory complexes into cultural institutions, creative spaces, and high-end lofts, making it a magnet for artists, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs.
The city’s centerpiece is Piotrkowska Street, one of the longest commercial streets in Europe. Stretching over 4 kilometers, it’s lined with eclectic architecture, street art, cafés, bars, and boutiques, forming the social spine of the city. Along it, you’ll find the Walk of Fame of Polish Cinema, a tribute to Łódź’s legendary film school and cinematic history.
Łódź is home to the EC1 Complex, a repurposed power plant that now houses a planetarium, science center, and cultural venues. Another highlight is Manufaktura, a massive former factory turned into a shopping and leisure center with museums, restaurants, and outdoor events. The Museum of the City of Łódź, located in the grand Poznański Palace, tells the story of the city’s multicultural past—Polish, Jewish, German, and Russian communities shaped its rise.
Known as the Polish Manchester, Łódź’s industrial roots are embraced rather than hidden. Murals by international street artists adorn building facades, and the OFF Piotrkowska complex is a hipster haven of food trucks, design shops, and music venues.
Food in Łódź is as varied as its history—traditional Polish comfort dishes, Jewish delicacies, and modern fusion can all be found here. With its raw edges, artistic soul, and defiant energy, Łódź is not conventionally pretty—but it’s deeply compelling.
