6 places in the Łagiewniki neighbourhood in the Bałuty district. 4 of them have listed opening hours, 4 are free. The list lets you plan a route within a single area, without travelling across the whole city.
The northern edge of Łódź and the largest forest within the city limits. Four of the six places on the list are free, since they are mainly nature and sacred sites.
The Rezerwat Przyrody Las Łagiewnicki (Łagiewniki Forest Nature Reserve) and the seat of the Leśnictwo Miejskie Łódź (Łódź Municipal Forestry) are located on Łagiewnicka 305. It is one of the largest urban forests in Europe, with a network of paths and a tram connection from the centre.
The Sanktuarium św. Antoniego Padewskiego (Sanctuary of St. Anthony of Padua) on Okólna 185, with its parish cemetery, is a monastery complex on the edge of the forest. On Wycieczkowa 75 stand the shrines of St. Roch and St. Anthony, and on Okólna 166 the Juliusz Heinzel Palace.
The Łagiewniki neighbourhood belongs to the Bałuty district, where you will find the remaining areas and the full list of places. All the attractions in the city at once are on the list of attractions in Łódź and on the map, and what is happening in the coming days is in the events calendar.
