TRAVEL
Łódź stands out due to its expansive
network of street art, influenced by the
strong artistic movement coming from the
Academy of Fine Arts.
Known for serving up the yummiest
vegan meals and cheapest beers, these are
just some of the other reasons that make
this city stand out. However, if you need
any more convincing, here's three reasons
why you won't regret visiting Łódź.
PAPU VEGE
Some would consider it a local legend,
offering hands down the best vegan
burgers on the globe. Papu Vege work
from a small hole in the wall in the city
centre. Their menu is seasonal, switching it
up every couple of months. On offer, they
have about 4 types of burgers, ranging
from Japanese-inspired, Italian-inspired, to
beetroot, or sweet potatoes burgers. Get
ready to be delighted every time a new
menu comes out.
NIEBOSTAN
What do you get if you buy a flat in
Poland, you create a tower of stairs in
the backyard for the passageway to the
entrance and fill it with second hand and
re-purposed furniture? Niebostan is filled
with a cosy atmosphere, a wide array of
cheap local craft beers and colourful, loud,
eclectic events, this is the place to be.
Beers go for anywhere between £1 to £4,
all top notch!
THE ARTSY SIDE OF
THINGS
The Rosa Passage art installation was
created in 2014 by Joanna Rajkowska.
The artist covered the passageway with
mosaic-like cut out mirror pieces, the scale
of it alone is quite staggering. The lights
reflecting sunlight create dancing patterns
all the way through.
Another noteworthy quality of Łódź is
the thriving mural scene. Behind every
other corner, you'll find a massive mural
sprawling across apartments. You can
either find maps online that cover most
of the locations, or you can take a day
out of your schedule and wander around
collecting snaps of the fascinating pieces
of art!
