Get ready for a magical weekend of music, art, and unforgettable experiences at Lublin’s Night of Culture, the most captivating festival in Poland! Here’s a quick guide to help you make the most of this extraordinary event.
Practical Tips
Dress comfortably: You’ll be doing a lot of walking, exploring the charming Old Town and its surroundings.
Leave your car at home: Due to the high volume of visitors, parking can be a hassle. Take advantage of the free public transportation instead.
Pets should stay home: For their comfort and safety, it’s best to leave your furry friends at home. The crowds, noise, and lights can be overwhelming, even if your pet is accustomed to it.
Charge your phone: Capture all the incredible art installations and participate in the exciting contest (more details below).
Alcohol only in designated areas: Please remember that public consumption of alcohol is prohibited. For a relaxing break, head to the Night of Culture chillout zone at Perła – Lublin Breweries S.A. at 15 Bernardyńska st.
Traffic Disruptions
- Królewska srtreet closure: As every summer weekend, the City of Lublin will be closing Królewska street for Night of Culture. The section from Bajkowskiego Street to Podwale Street will be inaccessible to vehicles. Diversions will be in place. With a large crowd expected for the event, there will be heavy traffic around the Old Town. We recommend using public transportation, cycling, walking, or finding alternate routes to avoid delays, especially on Królewska and Lubartowska Streets.
