Living in central Poland, you have great opportunities to spend a nice holiday, also close to Łódź. The Łódź Voivodeship, with its rich accommodation base, is well suited for a weekend spa getaway. And that's not all – you can also spend time actively discovering new places. We invite you to explore interesting spots near Łódź with us.
If you are looking for unusual attractions for a break near Łódź, the Salt Mine in Kłodawa is the perfect proposal for you. The mine is about an hour's drive from Łódź. This largest operating rock salt mine in Poland impresses not only with its size but also with its history. The mine started operations in the 1950s, and Kłodawa salt was formed over 200 million years ago.
During your visit, you will descend 600 meters underground. There awaits a journey through salt corridors and chambers where you can see how miners worked in the past and how they work today. Additionally, in the underground St. Kinga Chapel, made entirely of salt, you can admire salt sculptures. The mine is also famous for its unique pink salt, which stands out with its beautiful color and is one of the purest salts available in Poland.
It's worth mentioning an interesting fact – in 2007, the Kłodawa mine made it into the Guinness Book of Records for the deepest musical concert in the world, during which musicians from the Kalisz Philharmonic performed Vivaldi's "Four Seasons."
Let's leave the underground and move to Spała, where the Spala Antiques and Folk Handicraft Fair regularly takes place. The event attracts collectors, folk art lovers, and enthusiasts of unique antiques, offering a wide range of antiques, handmade crafts, and healthy regional products. At the stalls, you will find furniture, porcelain, paintings, and handmade decorations. It's also a great place to try local specialties such as honey, homemade liqueurs, bread, cheese, and fruit preserves.
The event takes place from spring to autumn on a selected day of the month. The fair in Spała is not only about shopping but also an excellent opportunity to relax in a picturesque area full of forests and beautiful recreational spots.

Mandoria provides a wide range of attractions – from exciting roller coasters like Merkant, through traditional carousels such as the two-level Caravan, to boat rides in the port. For younger visitors and those preferring calmer attractions, there are, among others, bikes that rise above the ground called Leonardo's Lantern, or the chain carousel Jewel. Puzzle lovers will enjoy the Treasury – a mirror labyrinth full of riddles and surprises. Attractions for people with disabilities are also available here.

In Tomaszów Mazowiecki, right by the Pilica River Open-Air Museum, there is one of the most fascinating natural attractions in the region – the Blue Springs.
