The 10 Best Things to Do in Lublin Province, Poland
Lublin Voivodeship, or Lublin Province (in Polish, województwo lubelskie [vɔjɛˈvut͡stfɔ luˈbɛlskʲɛ]), is a voivodeship, or province, located in southeastern Poland. It was created on January 1, 1999, out of the former Lublin, Chełm, Zamość, Biała Podlaska and (partially) Tarnobrzeg and Siedlce Voivodeships, pursuant to Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998. The province is named after its largest city and regional capital, Lublin, and its territory is made of four historical lands: the western part of the voivodeship, with Lublin itself, belongs to Lesser Poland, the eastern part of Lublin Area belongs to Red Ruthenia, and the northeast belongs to Polesie and Podlasie.

Visiting the site is well worth a couple of hours to understand the grand scale of this camp. You truly get a feeling of mixed emotions when you’re walking from different chambers. We would have been happy to pay or even give a contribution had this been required. It’s hard to believe this was a mere 75 years ago.

The Lublin Open Air Village Museum was established in 1970. Set in 60 acres of picturesque land it is one of the largest open air museums in Poland. The area is composed of several parts reflecting particular geographical units of Lublin region. Our Museum preserves the historic images of villages, manors and provincial towns with their regional characteristic features of buildings and settlement layouts. Field crops, Gardens and livestock enrich the open air museum exhibition. Customs, rituals and daily work of people living in the past are recreated thanks to the abundance of exhibits. At present, traditional rural architecture of Lublin Upland, Roztocze and Vistula River Region is represented, whereas Podlasie as well as Bug River Region are still under construction. The image of the past is complemented by a provincial town and a manor house accompanied by a park. What you may find particularly appealing about the Museum are the 17th century Roman Catholic church and th

Visited in October 2016 wit hour 8 years old daughter. Very enjoyable trip, lovely scenery, friendly staff, who, when engaged, was explaining history of ancient polish village and allow us into some of the buildings. 4 hours was definitely not enough, didnt try on site little traditional restaurant, which we regret, but it was about to close when we reached. The buildings and displays were very real, there were few polish historic movies filmed in the museum and we understand why. We will definitely come back for full day when back to Lublin! Free parking, frequent buses, cheap entry and soo much to see!
3. Lublin Old Town

Lublin Old Town has all the ingredients of become a future tourist magnet. The whole area is just cozy with cobbled streets and stunning buildings. When the motorway from Warsaw finishes tourist busses in the hundreds will arrive and the remaining buildings that needs caring will become hotel satellites for the big chains. Its truly cheap today and with loads of potential. Great place for strolls and photo possibilities.

The Town Hall in the Old Town of Zamosc is the centerpiece. It has a beautiful staircase creating a regal and stately monument. A climb to the top of stairs is worth the view as you gaze down upon the Old Town below. It is a must see when in Zamosc!

This is beautiful Renaissance city.
The masterpiece - imaginary, invented by Polish magnate and hetman Jan Zamojski and designed by Italian architect Bernardo Morando.
The absolutely unique thing - the whole city - walls, defence system, streets, tenements, town hall, market place, temples - Catholic and Orthodox churches, Synagogue, Palace and Akademia was designed by one person !
I think there isn't similar city in the world.
Wherefore the city is homogenous ... there are only few baroque modifications.
First you should go to the Arsenal Muzeum (and see the movie) , then you have to see Cathedral, Main Square, go to Morandówka for the very good dinner, and in the afternoon, take a look at underground of the Nadszaniec and Town Hall.
For me is the awesome place, which you must see, during the visit in Poland - like Gdańsk, Kraków, Wieliczka.

This is a nicely preserved nobles house in some lovely Gardens. The paintings and furniture although not of the highest quality were very interesting and original and the Gallery of Socialist realist art in an separate building was fascinating. Entry to the house is only by guided group and the only complaint was that the group was too large to comfortably fit into some of the rooms.

What is so fascinating is that Poles assembled the memorial wall out of desecrated tombstones that they returned and assembled into this memorial wall. Beautiful and inspiring, especially the gap between stone fragments from women's graves in the left and men's on the right. Worth a stop.

But after numerous walk pasts haven't been able to see a way into the tower hence the average rating. Perhaps we were unlucky (or blind!), so only admired from terra firma.

We weren't sure about visiting here as we found another couple who said there was nothing to see, how wrong could they be. It is a splendid building to look at from outside with a large inner courtyard which is available for everyone to see and walk around. You can then pay to visit the inside which houses a variety of rooms which depict a history of the area and of the castle, an exhibition of coins and several galleries of artwork. Outside you can walk up the tower and take in the views, also, you are given a timed ticket to view the chapel, it was truly magnificent, you are provided with tour notes in a variety of languages. Later we went back in the evening to a concert that was staged in one of the art galleries.

It is very charming place with a lot of interesting buildings, some of tchem very old. Please make sure that you will visit this place with some information about its history. They you can even better like it.
Do not speak with strangers, especially Roma people. They hunt mostly on Polish.
That was the only disadvantage here.
