After an active day, enjoy a local delicacy - cebularz - or try the buckwheat dumplings and aromatic soups made of forest mushrooms served in Zamość restaurants. A holiday in this city is the perfect time to discover its charms in a winter setting!

What attractions for your Lubelskie holidays must be on your list? Above all, opt for relaxation in a natural setting and head for the Roztocze.

An additional attraction for families with children is the Festival of Light, organised every winter, during which the park lights up with thousands of lights and children can take part in interactive games and workshops. Krasnobród, on the other hand, offers a unique attraction for lovers of prehistory - a dinosaur park, where the youngest can stand eye to eye with reconstructions of these prehistoric creatures.

How to prepare for a trip and what to take during winter holidays in the Lublin Province?

There are plenty of attractions, so it is worth having a detailed itinerary so that you don't get lost in the order and dates of sightseeing. If you opt for a city break, don't forget to:

• downloading pre-purchased admissiontickets to the venue and train journeysonto your phone, to avoid stress in case of lack of coverage,
• Layered clothing - a warm jacket, scarf and gloves are a must when moving around the city, but if you are planning to visit museums and other sites with your family, it is best to dress in 'onion' clothing, which makes it easier to match your outfit to the current conditions,
• winter equipment - if you plan to visit e.g. the Jacnia Ski Centre,
• snacks and drinks - children may get hungry during a long tour, so don't forget to bring your favourite snacks for a day trip,
• a powerbank - this will certainly come in handy if you plan to use the maps on your phone all day,
• a travel first-aid kit - whether you're in the city or in the countryside, it's a good idea to have some basic medicines and bandages with you.

Is it a good idea to book your tickets and accommodation for holidays in the Lubelskie Voivodeship in advance?

It is compulsory to book in advance! Especially if you are travelling with children, this will help you avoid situations such as seats in different carriages or a hotel located far from the centre. The Lubelskie Voivodeship is increasingly popular during the winter holidays, so attractive accommodation may not be available at the last minute. If you have a particular hotel in mind, it is best to book well in advance. As far as train tickets are concerned, they can be purchased as early as 30 days before departure and, especially during the holidays, we recommend buying them at the earliest opportunity. You will then have the chance to book the most convenient seats!
