Explore Lodz live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Srodmiescie is worth asking about: the city centre along Piotrkowska Street, dense with shops and restored tenements.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

What a live session shows

  • Piotrkowska Street One of Europe's longest commercial streets, running for several kilometres through restored nineteenth-century tenements.
