Lublin

Lublin, called the capital of eastern Poland, is the largest and most rapidly developing city on the right side of the Vistula River. As the capital of Lublin Voivodeship, it serves as the administrative, economic and cultural centre of the region. Lublin’s rich, seven-century-long history and its location in a multicultural melting pot are its special qualities. It is an enchanted place attracting visitors with its unique atmosphere, rich architecture and numerous historical monuments.

Lublin is a city of inspiration, where an awareness of history inspires the future. Renowned international artistic events, theatre, music and contemporary art festivals take place here. The high level of the cultural offer is also provided by theatres, galleries and student clubs operating in the city. Organised concerts, performances, happenings, festivals or exhibitions enliven the streets of Lublin. Among the best-known cultural events are the Carnaval Sztuk-Mistrzów, Other Sounds Festival, Night of Culture, Jagiellonian Fair, Central European Theatre Festival ‘Neighbours’, Theatre Confrontations Festival or the European Taste Festival.

Lublin is one of the cities with the highest investment dynamics. The opening of Lublin Airport, the construction of the ring road together with access roads or the municipal public transport system modernisation all contribute significantly to the development of infrastructure and the creation of a friendly environment for investment, thus strengthening Lublin’s position on the map of Poland and Europe.

Lublin is one of the most important and dynamic academic centres in Poland. It encourages education with its wide range of fields of study, excellent academic staff and activities to support students, e.g. through scholarships and awards. More than 70,000 students, not only from Poland, study at the renowned public universities and prestigious non-public higher education institutions.

Lublin is a Gate of the East, a showcase for Poland in its dealings with the Eastern Partnership countries. This is a result not only of its geopolitical location, but also of the city’s historical heritage. An integrating Europe has moved far to the East, restoring to Lublin its natural role as a link between East and West. Lublin is the undisputed leader, among Polish cities, in cooperation with eastern partners. It involves both official contacts at the level of authorities and offices and direct relations between many institutions and companies. The activities carried out are related to various areas of life, such as: initiatives for the development of civil society, city management, projects in the field of culture and science.
