We LOVE ŁÓDŹ ❤️🇵🇱 we will be back for sure ☺️

Łódź is the capital of Polish film industry (HollyŁódź). Many famous Polish directors and actors came from there, there is a Museum of Film and Film Academy.

This place looks interesting 🤔 adding Poland to my travel list for next year 🇵🇱

Enjoy Łódź! Follow us on Instagram : @twomadexplorers

From my experience there are no "no-go" places in Poland. All cities, towns, villages are livable and welcoming. Even if they were unpleasant or spooky in the past, now it's only a urban legend and something which survived in common knowledge. Personally, I've been in Łódź several times and enjoyed every visit. The city is unique for it's industrial and film making history so if you look at it from this point of view it will never be boring.

Wreszcie ktoś odważył się przyjechać do Łodzi! To miasto ma wiele pięknych miejsc ale też wciąż wiele zaniedbanych stąd kiepska opinia.

We are looking for POLISH locals to join us in our next videos. Please message us on Instagram @twomadexplorers for more info.

This channel is so educational and the hosts are so respectful. My kinda people ❤️my kinda channel ❤️

I was warned against visiting Łodz because it was an industrial area. So, I went anyway and it is lovely, especially Manufactura. A lot of young people and though there are remnants of the industrial era everywhere, it has been converted and made very people friendly. It is worth visiting Łodz.

As always great video and a nice job showing the hidden gems. Looking forward to lot more videos from Poland!

Thank you for this positive video. I live in Łódź and I really hate unpleasant comments about the city. I realize that it's not the most amazing place in the world, but it's worth looking for those special spots that make the city unique. In general, it's not hard to love Venice or Paris - here in Łódź you need more time to discover its charm but it's definitely worth it.

It's amazing that all the places you have visited in Poland so far are somehow related with my past. Łódź is no exception. In your video I can see the new face of the places I used to know 25-30 years ago... I'm particularly amazed with Księży Młyn. Living few months not very far from that location in the 1990s, I can't believe how great it looks now. After watching this video I'm putting Łódź on my places to visit list, when I'm in Poland again. Can't wait for your next videos.

Pięknych miast jest co niemiara Berlin, Praga, Paryż, Rzym, a nas Łódź urzekła szara, łódzkich fabryk dym. Sam nie wiesz kiedy Łódź schwyciła Cię w swą sieć, chcesz iść, Łódź woła - wróć! Tu pracuj, i tu siedź! O najpiękniejszym z miast piosenkę z nami nuć, oczarowała nas kochana szara Łódź Miasto fabryk i Tuwima i rewolucyjnych burz, gdy Cię Łódź czerwona trzyma to nie puści już! Sam nie wiesz kiedy Łódź, Łodź schwyciła Cię w swą sieć, chcesz iść Łódź woła - wróć, tu pracuj i tu siedź. O najpiękniejszym z miast piosenkę z nami nuć, oczarowała nas kochana szara Łódź.. Pozdro Łódź i Łodzianie.. Tomaszowianin..,

Dziękuję za świetny materiał. Róbcie to dalej.

Łódź is great! I love the post-industrial architecture as well as the beautiful buildings on Piotrkowska and the surrounding streets. Also, the mansions of the industrial age factory owners are gorgeous. For example, Poznanski Palace, right next to Manufaktura, would have been a great place to visit! It is absolutely beautiful outside and inside (Poznanski was the owner of the giant textile factory that houses Manufaktura these days and his palace was quite opulent.) Btw, you mentioned something about a cinematic feel to the city. Łódź is renowned for its film school. Many famous movie directors, such as Polanski, graduated from Łódź Fim School.

Łodz looks great!

Super! Dobrze że to zrobiliście👍

Łódź is very nice ! It improved during the last 20 years ! I like it ❤

Tak fajnie przedstawiliście Łódź, że sam mam ochotę pojechać 🙂 Prawdziwie niedocenianą częścią Polski są małe miasta. Jest dużo nieodkrytych perełek dla zagranicznych turystów. Takie miasta jak Sandomierz, Chełmno, Kazimierz Dolny, Złotoryja i wiele innych mogą być warte poświęcenia im dnia :) Jest u nas wiele pięknych miejsc dla których warto zejść z głównego szlaku turystycznego. Pozdrawiam i życzę miłego odkrywania Polski 😃

I'd say it's nice city. Train station in Lodz in my opinion is one of nicest in Europe. Many buildings needs face lift, so do buildings in any other cities, towns allover in every country.

Being living in this city for 10 years and I simply love the hidden beauty of this city

thank you for being so respectful and congratulations on your perfect pronunciation:)

Świetnie radzisz sobie z naszym językiem.. 7:43 👍🏻👍🏻

Wow nice channel. This is the kind of content I needed. Thanks

Yeah, Łódź is underrated. Lots of amazing places to sightsee. Thanx for visiting the city./It was cool to meet you on the 25h of June in Łódź when you were leaving the city./ I've subscribed your channel. You've done great job! Keep making the movies. Stay safe! Good luck.

As a Canadian living in Łódź for the past 6 years, I say thank you for coming to this city, I agree that Łódź is a underrated city, however it can also be very depressing, we have long winter months. you mentioned the first 4 days you where in the city it rained. That is most of the year, so we cannot spend a lot of time out doors because of the rain/snow/cold weather. We have two small children so going to play outside most of the year is not possible. Plus in the winter it gets dark by 15:30 and the sun starts to raise around 07:30 so it can get quite depressing in that time, but, we love the city.

Hi guys! Great videos from all these nice places. Cheers for that! Have you been to Malbork castle already? Big kick for all medieval history fans. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

I've been to Łódź twice. I think it is great. I loved the urban renewal the second time I visited and I see it looks even more beautiful now. Hope to visit Łódź again one day.

Łódź is capital of cinema in Poland. There is a famous University to study to become actor, director or cameraman. There is a very good film about the beginning of Łódź titeled "Ziemia Obiecana" it should be available on internet.

Since you're movie guys - "Ziemia obiecana"(The Promised Land) one of the best Polish movies, if not the best, shows the golden era of Lodź back in the 19th century. A buzzing pot of different cultures and thriving businesses. Really beautiful movie.

Thank You for visiting Łódź, The city with very specific and unique charm.

I think it is also nice to recommend the area around łódź fabryczna station, there is really a lot of modern architecture and also murals in Łódź are really amazing and there is a lot of symbolic behind them ;)

Łódź is one of my most favourite cities in Poland, especially Piotrkowska street is amazing during the night

Thank you from Canada, we really enjoy watching this video. Your polish is very good. Dzien dobry, dziekuje !!

I said the exact same thing about Detroit - you'll love it or hate it. I am obsessed with your videos and hoping to get my freelance visa at the end of the year and ring in the New Year in Poland!

your polish is getting much better , thanks for the video

4:04 Łódź is changing so quickly, that on the square behind You right now stands a huge mirror-finish heart. To sample best beers visit Warsaw Beer Fest.

Lodz is very underground- ish city compères to other parts in the country, and most of the people cant feel the spirit of the places . Ive been born in Lodz so for me it will be always one of the best places on Earth :) 💕

Kazimierz,jakie małe miasta pogieło Cię.Jeszsze 25 lat temu to drugie pod wzgledem ilości mieszkańców miasto w Polsce! Zbliżało się do miliona mieszkańców,teraz wyprzedził nas Kraków.

Gratulacje za czytanie w języku polskim 👏😉👍

According yo its creator, Joanna Rajkowska, Pasaż Róży illustrates the journey her little daughter Róża (who suffered from eye cancer) has taken from not seeing to - seeing.

Thank you. As always great video.

Well it was funny to find this video because we almost ended up in Lodz. It's a long story. Anyway, now I can see that it isn't the boring city we heard about. Thanks Lucas and thanks Naomi. Great video

I found this film by accident. It's amazing to see your city from the perspective of someone like you. ❤️❤️

Lodz, my place. I tried to move to Warsaw, but I could not fit in there. Thank you fot that short film.

Hej guys! That’s my city! Congrats on going there! Have fun!🙏

A lovely video. Lived and worked (you even walked past the ex-office at the end of the video) in Łódź for almost 2 years before moving out from Poland in early 2019. Of course, living and traveling as a tourist is different, you need to deal with some stuff daily, but can agree the city has really attractive areas, and nice parks and museums apart from the shopping malls. I wish to visit it again, sometimes miss it. We can joke of it being grey, foggy, and "like Bratislava in Eurotrip", also remembering the jokes locals told once at work "What is the best part of Zgierz?" -- "A bus to Łódź", but eventually, it still has a lot to offer, and definitely changes within years, can only imagine the improvements within those 4 years. At first visit in 2016, Księży Młyn wasn't really open nor renovated, or I didn't catch it, with just the good old Textorial Park office building there

It is very nice that You spend (i hope) nice time in our city. Greetings from ŁDZ

Love you Lodz!!! I was born there, always coming back with a huge of sentiment. Great places for shopping and entrainments, lots of amazing restaurants, and pleasant atmosphere. Love a walk along Piotrkowska and drop in to the Hortex for fantastic and unique sweetness!!!♥️♥️♥️. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

Thank you for visiting city of my childhood. I left the city about 20 years ago and live in London now but my family, parents, aunties, uncles, etc are still here so I visit the place every now and then. I was growing up on ulica Piotrkowska, very close to the place you called "off Piotrkowska". Literally next door. Everything looks so lovely now and it's an amazing thing with places that I know from the past, they have changed so much. Even if I am familiar with the city thanks to this video I still have some places that I don't know and added now to my visit list. Simply because those 20 years ago they looked completely different or they didn't exist.

Piotrkowska at night Friday to Sunday 🤩

Thanks for this film. It was great to see it. I hope you will back here, because you have much more beautiful places to see ;) Greetings from Bałuty (best place on earth).

Musicie kiedyś na Piotrkowskiej zobaczyć festiwal świateł!!

Are you guys going to visit Poznań? I am from this city but I live in Los Angeles now. I enjoy your videos a lot because I do miss Poland. I am glad that you have been enjoying your time there so far!

I come from ŁÓDŹ, I live in Aberdeen, Scotland. When I watching Your’s video, I had a tears in my eye’s.. Thank You! 💪😎❤️🛶

Im applying for university in Łódź and I was little scared what the city is like from all hate around it. Came here on your chanel randomly and loved your energy. Gonna stick for more, keep it up guys 😊

David Lynch fell in love with Łódź when he came here ... so you have to have a lot of aesthetic sophistication and creative perversity to appreciate and understand this city ...

Byłem w Łodzi z Bielska odwiedzić i najpiękniejsze klimaty są na obrzeżach Łodzi 😍😍

A byliście w stajni jednorożców?? 🦄😎 Nowa architektura Łodzi jest nie samowita podobnie jak ta stara tkanka miasta. Polecam Planetarium EC1 i dworzec Łódź fabryczna. Także ciekawy jest Park Ocalałych i FUZJA.

I was in Łódź a couple of times 8, 9 years ago. Coming from, therefore comparing to Kraków, it was a bit depressing to be in the city. But I noticed the people there were very nice. I am sure the city has improved since I was there last. It is good you went to check it out for yourselves. I have been to places other people thought were horrible, but I loved.

Rose passage is made by an artist who's daughter was blind :) that and many more makes Łódź special :)

Name of the church translates roughly to "The Church of the sending of the Holy Spirit". Your pronunciation is some of the best I've heard from a native english speaker :)

Well, I must say that both of you guys are so nice and it's so nice to watch your videos. Pronunciation of Naomi and Luke is really surprisingly great I would say like for foreigners, I live in NJ, I'm polish. Really guys super cool work and it's a pleasure to watch those videos. Please always try to say names of streets etc. in Polish - PO POLSKU :) great job, take care and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! :) p.s. Luke, please smile a little more :) thanks :)

This is one of the places on earth where obscure objects of the industrial past were given tender loving care. And guess what? They are starting to look beautiful.

It's kinda interesting to watch this when i live in one of these buildings in Księży Młyn, hope you spend nice time here

I visited Lodz back in April, and I really liked the city. I felt safe, and the people I interacted with were very friendly. I visited the city because I'm interested in its history, but there are many things today that also make the city great. There are many old buildings in the city that look run down and like they're in the "bad part of town," but I didn't run into any problems when I explored some of the areas with the old buildings. Some of these buildings that are still standing were actually once part of the Lodz Ghetto, where Jews were forced to live during the Nazi occupation. Lodz is a hidden gem in Poland with different unique features. I definitely plan on returning there in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone who visits Poland.

You guys were at some point literally 100 meters away from my flat. I would have loved to have invited you for a cup of coffee! I live in this strange city for 5 months now and I am learning to like it. Keep doing these quality videos. Cheers

And it’s not even all of it 😎 If by any chance you come to Łódź again, you should definitely check out Łódź Fabryczna train station, Monopolis- another beautiful commerce-office area, and Orientarium- new part to the Zoo of Łódź. All three are recently built, popular and beautiful! 😌 It’s very exciting to live in Łódź- the city is blooming with new things to discover! 🌸

I am so pleased to hear you really like my home town!!!!!

I've lived here since 2004, love it, call it home, have my studio next to OFF, pretty cool place for a beer, you're right there!

Thank you for a good advertisement of my city Łódź where I was born and I live all my life.

What in the world?! It looks nice; I love Manufaktura and the sandy area. I really enjoyed this video and the lovely green areas.

Thank You for showing my city

You should visit Toruń or Sandomierz. Best in Poland.

Guys! There's also a huge story about Pasaż Róży. The idea was about showing artist's kid which has a special illness and see the world in little pieces. So artist with Academy of Fine Arts students make first mirror wall. Then it grew up. And roses are new in that :) we have roses here maybe 2 years.

So nice Welcome in Poland!!!

Whoa! First view of anything in Poland and Lodz looks wonderful. I live in the U.S. so here there are no cities that are safe to walk that distance. Lodz looks peaceful and clean; it looks as if there is a forest protecting a calm place. I would love to visit such a beautiful city.

I don't know if you will be in southern Poland again, but I can strongly reccomend Ojcowski National Park, near Krakow. Amazing shapes of limestone mountains

So good to see your trip videos. My paternal great grandparents came to America from Poland. I am a 3rd generation American an love my Polish heritage. I still have family there

Greetings from Dublin,was over in lodz about two weeks ago for the Ireland v Ukraine football match,perfect city for a break,its a city on the up,really liked the street art,would definitely return,have only good memories from visiting Poland,great cities ,have visted about 10 cities.Let the music keep your spirits high.

For the hand made beach..whats also really cool is that for winter they change it into an ice rink :D its awesome

love the slogan of your hoodie

Łódź was a kind of Polish Detroit in the early 1990s. Now the city is reviving. In 15 years it will be a gem.

Łodz is an up and coming safe Polish city. Shops are great. Plenty of attractions. Food is amazing. Buildings are being rejuvenated. The main roads and infrastructure are being developed beautifully. Downside is the introduction of toll roads outside Łodz. Another downside is Roman Polanski's star on the HollyŁodz walk of fame. I'd like to see that removed. I was in Łodz last year. On the whole I loved it. I love Poland and can't wait to return ! 🇵🇱❤ 🇵🇱 ❤🇵🇱

good to have nice people to promote to the world Łódż!!!Thanks and good luck!!!

I invite all of you to Łódź Live here for about 34 years and can tell you that you have a plenty places to go and to see. So be in Łódź and feel this atmosphere. We are still growing up and change

Hi😊you should visit...Bieszczady🌞 Great video👍 Thank you🍀

I am from San Diego, CA and my husband and I visited Poland last year. Poland is awesome and beautiful. The people are lovely and the food is amazing. We cannot say enough about Poland. We recommend it to everyone we know. We would definitely go back again.

Your pronunciation is better and better, guys! I understand everything. Naomi's "Księży Młyn" is almost perfect

I really recommend visiting Malbork city! There is a 13th century Malbork castle there, and it's said to be the largest castle in the world. Really worth visiting in my opinion :)

Your pronunciation of „Kościół Zesłania Ducha Świętego” went exceptionally well👍🏻 as for a foreigner😅. This means „The Church of Departing the Holy Spirit”. Thanks a lot for such impartial presentation of my beautiful city. „Polish Detroit” is unfortunatelly not adequate any more since when the textile business died or rather was moved to China… As to „avoid Łódź at all cost”??? This Cieplucha dude must be crazy or from Warsaw or both. That would explain everything🤣. Great vlog and thank You once again. Greetings from Łódź

Zdanowska powinna Wam zasponsorować tą wycieczkę. Zrobiliście wiecej niż dział promocji UMŁ 😁

Łódź to miasto które pięknieje a nadal cieszy się swoją negatywna opinią. To co słyszeliście o Łodzi było kiedyś! Wiem to bo mieszkam tu i to jest naprawdę wspaniałe miasto które kulturowo i edukacyjnie rozwija się. Jest co zwiedzać, historia Łodzi jest bardzo ciekawa, jego architektura. Denerwuje mnie gadanie że Łódź nie jest warta zwiedzania, to mówią ludzie którzy albo nigdy nie zwiedzali tego miasta w ostatnim czasie albo zrobili to ze złym przekonaniem. Warto, poznać i doznać a nie tylko gadać i powielać plotki i stereotypy. Zawsze się znajdą ludzie na którym Łódź nie zrobi wrażenia. Dla porównania, ostatnio byłam we Wrocławiu na kilka dni i uważam że to piękne miasto też ze wspaniałą architekturą i historią, jest sporo muzeów do zwiedzania i widzę podobieństwo do Łodzi. Łódź tez w tym kierunku się rozwija. Rok temu byłam tez w Krakowie i opinie na temat tego miasta mocno przereklamowane. Również piękne miasto ale opinie ludzi od których słyszałam że Kraków jest super, postawiło poprzeczkę tak wysoko że zwyczajnie zawiodłam się na tym mieście pod wieloma względami. Co za debil pisze aby Łódź omijać za wszelką cenę? Przecież nikt tutaj na dzień dobry nikogo nie morduje. Nie rozumiem takiego pisania. Bardzo się cieszę że mimo takich komentarzy postanowiliście obejrzeć nasza piękną i niekiedy brzydką Łódź. Jest sporo kamienic do wyremontowania oraz dróg ale słyszałam przez to wiele zdań które mówiły że Łódź przedstawia swoje dwa oblicza.

Łódź used to be a second largest city in Poland, after Warsaw, until lately, but it dropped inhabitants following the year 1989, which was the case of most Polish cities, but eventually Warsaw and Kraków gain some. before ww2 the third largest Polish city was Lwów, grabbed by USSR in 1944, now within borders of Ukraine, you visited that city, I believe, did't you /?/ or perhaps I got mixed up.

Many thanks for making the effort to visit my town! As you may know by now, most of the hate about Łódź comes from people who have either not bothered to visit it at all or devised their opinion after spending one hour at the train station. Łódź has a lot to offer but you have to discover some places yourself or ask locals (as you said, you will not learn much from travel books). But even many people in Poland do not know that Łódź enjoys one of the largest city forests… in Europe. Or that it is the place of one of the largest historical Jewish cemeteries… again, in Europe! For those who are interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7Kch6uAlsqvops.html We don't have castles, but we have palaces - and you can visit them. Recommended: Poznański's Palace (close to Manufaktura) or Herbst's Palace (near Księży Młyn). And so on, and so forth… ok., maybe next time 😊

Thank you guys!

I once read an article about Lodz and some foreigner summarized it a "city of contrasts" and I feel it is the most on point

I really enjoyed time in Lódź spent with you. Good entertainment. I am not from Lódź, but my wife is and I have my sentiment to this city.

Pięknie nawet nie wiedziałem o Różanym Pasażu 🥺😎

Beautiful city 🥰
