Hotels in Lublin and surroundings

Lublin City boasts a range of hotels and other visitor facilities. On a hill facing the old town there is the huge and dramatic Neo-Gothic castle, which currently houses the excellent Lublin Museum. Prior to its development as a museum the castle was a prison dating from the early nineteenth century to 1954. The interior of the castle's Gothic chapel, the church of the Holy Trinity, is adorned by unique Byzantine murals which are presently being renovated. The museum is open all year. Majdanek State Museum is one of the national memorials in Poland of the Holocaust. Between 1941 and 1944 several hundred thousand people from all over Europe were murdered in this camp. The prisoners barracks, gas chambers and the crematoria have been preserved to this day while audio visual facilities show graphically in a number of languages the suffering of this period. The museum is open all year.
