The last edition gained huge popularity among the English-speaking Łódź inhabitants and tourists visiting our city, that is why we have decided to continue the project also in 2021. The idea of 2021 Łódź Summer Tours is not only to make the foreigners familiar with the culture, history and the beauty of Łódź, but also to encourage them to take active part in the city life – says the projects supervisor, Olga Legczylina from Łódź Tourism Organization. Łódź Tourism Organisation wants to catch the interest of newcomers by invoking the idea of multicultural Promised Land, by telling the stories about great factory owners’ fortunes, the unprecedented career of the city which became in time the city of avant-garde art and The UNESCO City of Film – states Krzysztof Olkusz, a Łódź guide. 2021 Łódź Summer Tours start every Saturdays at 12 PM at the Tourist Information Center in Łódź (Piotrkowska 28). The last walk will take place on 26th of September. What is more, during the Birthday of Łódź (July, 25th) and the Light.Move.Festival (September, 26th) extra strolls will be organized also on Sunday, and they will also start at 12 PM. During the English-spoken tour, the guides will talk about:
