Las Lagiewniki (Lagiewniki Forest) is said to be the biggest forest within city limits in Europe. I am not sure if it is true, but still Lagiewniki Forest, situated in the northern part of Lodz and easily accessed by buses from the centre of the city, can well compete with the Bois de Boulogne in Paris or Krakow's Wolski Forest. It is a great place for a family picnic, a bonfire, a bicycle trip or a stroll. There are many marked tourist trails and bicycle routes in the forest, as well as specially prepared picnic areas. To get more information, ask about Lagiewniki Forest in Tourist Information Centre in Lodz.

The Film School, which is situated in an old palace in Targowa street in the centre of Lodz is a must-see. It is a place where legendary Polish directors and actors, such as Oscar winners Roman Polanski and Andrzej Wajda studied and made their first films. Also cult Polish-French director Krzysztof Kieslowski was an Lodz Film School Alumn.

Lodz was once the Jewish hub of Poland. However, the Nazis set up a ghetto in the north of the city, in Baluty. You can see traces of the ghetto following the ghetto trail which starts from Piotrkowska Street. You can also visit one of Europe's largest Jewish cemeteries, which has graves of those who developed this young city in the 19th century.

Poznanski's Palace is one of Lodz's most attractive buildings that was home to the city's industrial revolution. It regularly has exhibitions from Polish and international artists.
