As the city’s commercial and cultural centre, Śródmieście is the perfect area to stay for first-time visitors in Łódź. Home to the impressive Piotrkowska Street, the city’s bustling thoroughfare, it not only offers tonnes of history and culture, it offers an exceptional selection of shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars. Those looking to immerse in Łódź’s nightlife will particularly enjoy this part of the city.

For a quieter, less touristic, and more upscale stay in Łódź, opt for Old Polesie, a refined neighbourhood known for its mansions and fine dining. Located immediately west of Śródmieście, it’s easy to explore the city sights from here. However, with its own museums, theatres, and markets, there is plenty to keep you occupied without going far at all.

Experience the edgy and alternative side of Łódź in Stare Miasto, the city’s industrial area which has been revived into a creative hub. Cultural arts centre Manufaktura is a highlight of this cool enclave along with its rough-and-ready industrial architecture.

Families might prefer Helenów for its calm energy and abundance of green spaces where you can relax and take respite from the city crowds. Yet, located just north of Śródmieście, it’s just a stone’s throw from the excitement of Piotrkowska Street and its landmarks, shops, and restaurants.
