Lublin is a city of rich history and multicultural tradition; it’s the Gateway to the East, the city of the Lublin Union, a place where various cultures, nations and religions have coexisted for centuries. Lublin is a city of students, a thriving academic centre filled with energy and showing a great potential. Lublin is the city of artists and cultural animators, but also the city of dedicated and demanding audiences. The wide variety of culture events is continuously being enriched; it includes festivals, plays, concerts, exhibitions, meetings, discussion panels, unique architecture and historical monuments, all of which make Lublin a city where artistic life flourishes.
