About this tour
This session follows a short route from the fourteenth-century Krakow Gate into Lublin's old town market square. You see the gate's original stonework up close, then the ring of merchant townhouses around the square, each with its own facade and history. It is a compact introduction to the whole old town in a single session.
We start with a sound check right at the gate, then move slowly into the square so you can take in each townhouse in turn. I take questions as we go and point the camera wherever a detail catches your eye. A short list of the buildings follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone visiting Lublin for the first time and wanting an overview before exploring further. It also works well booked before a more detailed session on a single building.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Welcome and sound check 5 min

The camera opens beneath the fourteenth-century Krakow Gate, and I explain how it once formed part of the city walls before becoming the small museum it is today.

We step into the market square, and you see the line of merchant townhouses around it, each with a different facade telling its own small piece of the city's history.

Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Lublin: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Cebularz and Stare Miasto, worth a slower look.
