City in Poland

Lublin

3 things to see

Lublin is an underrated eastern Polish city with a Renaissance old town, a hilltop castle, and prices that are low even by Polish standards. The old town and the streets around the castle are free to wander, and eating out here costs noticeably less than in the bigger tourist cities. It makes a cheap detour east of Warsaw, well off the Krakow tourist trail.
