Lodz might be hard to pronounce (it’s ‘woodge’), but you will soon get into the swing of Poland’s third largest city.
I quickly settle in, sipping chilled Polish beer on the patio of Piwoteka, a pub serving local craft brews.
The streets are filled with lively groups spilling onto the pavement. A row of grand, if faded, buildings provides a backdrop, in a hotchpotch of styles from art nouveau to baroque.
