its fame entirely to the composer Frederic Chopin who was born there in

early 19th Century. It is now a museum which contains an exhibition on the
composer. The main attraction is Piano concert which we will enjoy at the end of our tour.
Day 5: Lodz
This morning after breakfast we will begin our full day guided tour of
Lodz. Lodz, situated 130 Km to the east of Warsaw, is still a young city
but encountering rapid industrial development. It has recently surpassed
much older towns and is now Poland's largest urban center after the
capital. Although there are no buildings older than 200 years, there is an
enormous selection of 19th century architecture including many examples of
art nouveau. We will take time to tour the Historical Museum of Lodz,
whish is located in the palace of the Poznanski family who were among the
wealthiest Jewish clans in the city. The most impressive feature of
the Palace is its spectacular dining hall. Visitors can enter the museum
of art which displays works by many contemporary artists including
Picasso, Chagall and Enrst.
Day 6: Czestochowa
This morning after breakfast we will begin our full day guided tour of
Czestochowa. Czestochowa represents the spiritual heart of Poland and the
country's national shrine. It owes its fame to the Black Madonna. This
religious icon has attracted pilgrims to the Jasna Gora Monastery for
centuries. Today, the site ranks 5th in the list of Pilgrimage sites after
Vranasi, Mecca, Lourdes and Rome. The painting of the Black Madonna
was presented to the Paulite order of monks in 1384. From then on the town
grew in fame until it attained its current status as one of the most
