Lodz is one of the largest and oldest cities in Poland. It was founded in the 13th century and during this time has managed to turn into a center for the production of electronics. After the end of the Second World War, it was Lodz who assumed the duties of the capital of the state for three whole years due to the fact that Warsaw was almost completely destroyed.
A rich history, an abundance of cultural, historical and architectural monuments have made Lodz a major tourist center, where millions of people come who want to touch the ancient history of this state.
Today, you can get to Lodz from Warsaw by bus or train. The city also has its own airport, from where numerous bus routes depart.
The history of ód begins with a tiny village that practically did not develop for a long time. The intensive growth of the economy and infrastructure of these places took place only in the last 1.5 centuries. So, in the first half of the 19th century, Lodz turned into an industrial center, where people from different parts of the country and the world began to settle en masse. In just over 100 years, the city's population has grown from 500 to 700,000. This was the case before the outbreak of the War. But with the advance of the Nazis to Poland, Lodz was turned into a concentration camp, which was divided into several ghettos - for Roma, for Jews, etc. And leaving this place meant only one thing - death.
A witness of those terrible days is the Radegast railway station, from where people were transported to the death camps. A commemorative plaque is placed near the station, which is built into the sidewalk and shows that a wall ghetto took place here. Of course, the wall was destroyed after the Victory, but residents of the city and the country still remember those sad and terrible pages of history.
One of the main attractions of modern ód is the Manufacture. Today it is the largest shopping and entertainment center in the city, which is located in an old building of a former factory. In addition to shops, this colorful red brick building contains many museums, hotels and restaurants.
One of the central city squares is located not far from the Manufacture. The main street of the city is called Piotrkovskaya. It bears the status of the longest in Europe and offers travelers a pleasant walk along the colorful old buildings, where once lived the richest entrepreneurs who own factories that literally flooded the city.
