About Stare Miasto w Lublinie
Lublin’s old town sits on a hill of narrow streets and squares, with the Brama Krakowska marking one of the entrances. The ensemble reveals the former mercantile city through façades, courtyards and passageways that form a compact-scale route.
The gate and the market help orient the walk, but some of the interest lies in the side streets and in the relationship between the upper part and its surroundings. Interiors of museums and temples have their own circuits, so an external visit can be combined with a chosen interior entry.
Start at the gate area and proceed unhurriedly to the axes that lead to the castle. There is uneven pavement and level changes, which call for walking shoes. The overall reading is clearer when you observe the position of the buildings and not only the façades facing the main street.
