DESTINATIONS POLAND | EUROPE
16.00: Lodz has numerous parks, many established by wealthy mill owners keen to create green spaces for workers to gather and relax. One of the most beautiful is Zrodliska Park – a wonderful spot for a pre-dinner stroll. It’s the city’s oldest, established in 1840 and located near Ksiezy Mlyn; green-fingered guests should make a beeline for the Palm House, filled with rare plant species.

18.00: Travellers craving a proper pierogi (small, filled dumplings) will love Pierogarnia, tucked inside a five-storey tenement house on Piotrkowska Street. Built in the 1900s by landowner Dawid Szmulewicz, it’s packed with original features, including an ornate cupola and beautiful bay windows. Try the jagniece pierogi, made with marinated lamb and dried cranberries, washed down with kwas chlebowy, a local porter.
20.00: The Jabeerwocky Craft Beer Pub is a great spot for a final toast to Lodz. It’s famous for its range of local craft beers including the Wheat Hit, a delicious wheat beer packed with fruity and spicy notes. The most sought-after spots are the vinyl couchettes covered with beer-themed slogans, where you’ll find locals and visitors sampling brews and snacking on sweet potato fries late into the evening.
