Magnificent Piotrkowska is the heart and soul of Łódź, and one of Europe’s longest commercial thoroughfares. On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll discover how a once-rural pathway evolved into an architectural showcase, and hear about the industrial triumph, social upheaval, and cultural revival it witnessed along the way.
The tour starts in Liberty Square. As you meander along Piotrkowska, I’ll share the stories behind its splendid buildings and tell you about the city’s unique trajectory, from tiny village to textile metropolis within a few decades. You’ll explore how four distinct cultures (Polish, German, Russian, and Jewish) shaped Łódź’s identity before 20th century conflicts and economic transformation dramatically changed its character.
