The Best Places to Visit in Lodz
Manufaktura
- Manufaktura, a mall and leisure complex incorporating former textile factories, has been a showpiece for the city center's regeneration over the last 25 years.
- It is Poland's largest urban regeneration scheme since the wartime reconstruction of Warsaw's Old Town, which began in 2006.
- The epic industrial brick architecture, built by entrepreneur Izrael Poznaski in the 1870s, distinguishes this from a typical mall.
- More than 300 businesses, ranging from international retailers to cafes, restaurants, and bakeries, are housed on the 27-hectare site.
- The Factory Museum depicts the daily lives of factory workers, as well as the techniques used to manufacture cloth at this facility and Izrael Poznaski's life.
Ulica Piotrkowska
- Ulica Piotrkowska is Lodz's main thoroughfare and one of the world's longest pedestrian streets, measuring just under five kilometers.
- There is no better place to start your tour of the city because it is home to so many of the city's best restaurants, shops, nightclubs, and attractions.
- The majority of Lodz's industrialists owned townhouses along the street, which have been restored to their turn-of-the-century glory since the 1990s.
- The Grand Hotel, at number 72, is about halfway down the street, and has hosted figures as diverse as Tito, Himmler, and Roman Polanski.
- Then, at number 78, you'll arrive at the childhood home of Arthur Rubinstein, the Polish-American classical pianist.
- On the street, he is commemorated by a monument depicting him sitting at a grand piano in a familiar pose.
Radegast Train Station
- Radegast Train Station in the Bauty district served as a departure point for the extermination camps of Auschwitz and Chelmno.
- Approximately 200,000 Jews from the Lodz Ghetto, as well as Jews from all over Poland, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, and the former Sudetenland, passed through this point.
- In 2005, the station was turned into a memorial, with three windowless cattle wagons parked alongside the restored station.
- The names of destinations such as Auschwitz-Birkenau and imprints of hands can be found in the concrete of large slab-like gravestones.
- In the station, a branch of the Lodz Museum of Independence depicts life in the Lodz Ghetto.
- The contents of a suitcase discovered in an attic on Ulica Organizacji WiN in the Ghetto, belonging to a family that was most likely killed at the Chelmno camp, are one of the most moving exhibits.

- Despite its size, the city center is relatively compact.
- If you stay near Piotrkowska Street, you can easily get around on foot to see some of Lodz's most interesting sights.

- This unusual factory architecture can be found throughout the Manufaktura, making it a one-of-a-kind shopping mall.

- The Manufaktura building complex is within walking distance of Piotrkowska Street; the two landmarks are about 10 minutes apart.
Karl Scheibler Chapel
- Karl Scheibler, a prominent textile magnate from the nineteenth century, and his wife are buried here in this mausoleum-like chapel.
- The chapel was praised as a fine work of craftsmanship at the time it was built, and its architecture is typical of the neo-gothic style.
- Even though the chapel has been partially restored, the surrounding Old Evangelical-Augsburg Cemetery became quite run-down by the middle of the twentieth century, adding to its charm.
- This is a magical place to go for a stroll.
