Cotton Kings and Street Art of Lodz Self Guided Tour

Overview

Explore Łódź, a city named after a boat despite having no harbour, no lake, and no navigable river. This self-guided audio walking tour takes you through eighteen stops across the “Polish Manchester,” revealing the stories most visitors never discover. See the famous red-brick factories while learning how a cotton king rose from a rickety cart to become one of the wealthiest men in Europe. Walk along Piotrkowska Street, uncover a hidden courtyard covered in more than 800 square metres of broken mirrors, and pass the tram stop locals call the Unicorn Stable. Stand above an underground canal shaped like a giant inner tube, explore palaces built beside factory floors, and meet Nobel Prize-winning poets, Chopin’s greatest interpreter, and Poland’s most beloved animated bear along the way. Discover how a small local animation studio earned two Academy Awards. Available in nine languages, this tour lets you explore at your own pace with no groups, no schedules, and a full refund guarantee.
