Itinerary
1
Freedom Square (Plac Wolnosci)
Plac Wolności (Liberty Square) is an historic open space with trees, fountains and several museums.
On this tour we use the square as our starting point only (we cover it in more detail on another audiotour of Łódź).
2
Pasaz Rozy
Pasaż Róży (Rose Passage) is a striking work of public art which consists of a courtyard entirely covered in pieces of broken mirrored glass.
You spend time enjoying its effects while hearing its story and understanding its meaning.
3
Piotrkowska Street
This boulevard, one of Europe's longest city centre streets, is the focus of our tour. A flourish of architectural styles greet you as you hear of its stories and people which carve out the distinct history of Łódź.
4
Grand Hotel
A true landmark building, and a legend in its city's history, where international stars of stage and screen have gathered and whose marble interiors once more beckon proudly.
5
The Alley of Stars of the Lodz Walk of Fame
Discover how Łódź has become the centre of Poland's movie industry, creating world class cinema and Oscar-winning directors as you walk over dozens of stars honouring directors, composers, actors and technicians.
